Black Hats Protesting


I ran across this protest while walking back to the Kensington High Street Underground. There were probably over 100 protesters. I came home and looked up what the issue was:
Reuters: "A heavily guarded operation to dig up ancient graves to make way for a new hospital emergency room on Sunday stirred up traditional tensions between Israel's Jewish secular majority and ultra-Orthodox minority."
The Ultra-Orthodox minority in Great Britain were out protesting peacefully, holding signs criticizing the Israeli government on a busy London street. It was a beautiful sight and a reminder of the freedom people and Jews enjoy, both in the U.S. and here in the U.K. See news from Bangkok and Israel these days to fully appreciate this sight.
