I was in Israel a long time ago and those Orthodox weirdos were the ones causing trouble, not the Arabs. They were raising hell at some religious site and the cops showed up in riot gear in buses and started beating them with clubs and pushing them onto the buses. I think they think they are getting their marching orders directly from their ancient god...which seems to be a common malady in that region of the world.
That's where my son met his wife. Both Americans living in Jerusalem. He had converted.
