Rivlin: Jerusalem has become Ghettos separated by walls of estrangement
None
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin spoke of life in Jerusalem during Israel's 62nd Independence Day ceremony, and said, "In an era of cultural openness, we are witnessing a dangerous process of deepening entrenchment of each group behind its four walls. This entrenchment only brings about cultural and political polarization.
"Look, for example, what Jerusalem has become in the past decade: separate neighborhoods, separate public transportation, separate shopping malls for haredim and seculars, Arabs and Jews. Ghettos separated by walls of estrangement, if not by walls of cement," he said. (Ynet)
