Beit Shemesh Day II
















Israelis take part in a protest against violence by religious zealots trying to impose their religious code on the town of Beit Shemesh, near Jerusalem December 27, 2011. Several thousand pro-democracy activists protested on Tuesday in the flashpoint town at a rally organised after an outburst of public anger when an eight-year-old girl said on national television that ultra-Orthodox men had spat at her on her way to school, accusing her of immodest dress. The placard reads, "Don't give up on Beit Shemesh."
