Right-wing activists blocked central highways and junctions Monday to protest the Gaza disengagement plan, causing major traffic jams throughout the country. See video of demonstrations Anti-disengagement activists deemed the day’s events an “overwhelming success,” even though more than 300 activists were detained. Hundreds of right-wing activists protested and burned tires along the Tel Aviv - Haifa Highway, far outnumbering the dozens of police officers summoned to the area. “This is a war of attrition,” one officer said. Jerusalem protests In Jerusalem dozens of demonstrators blocked central junctions. Police forces were summoned to the area, and some 60 protestors were detained. Hundreds of activists gathered at the city’s entrance chanting “police state.” Police officers on horseback dispersed the demonstrators. Also in Jerusalem, dozens of activists attacked an Arab who was traveling along Bar-Ilan Street, a busy thoroughfare in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, severely damaging his car. Demonstrators hurled stones at police officers who rescued the Arab, lightly injuring a number of them. The Yesha Council said in a statement it has nothing to do with the recent road-blockings, but added Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is at fault as he is pursuing his “destructive policy.” The Yesha Rabbi’s Council said in a statement “We support the thousands of demonstrators and detainees in their non-violent struggle against the banishment and destruction decree.” Ultra-Orthodox join protesters Meanwhile, protesters have also attempted to recruit the ultra-Orthodox community to join in the fight against the Gaza pullout plan. Notices have been posted in religious Jerusalem neighborhoods calling for the community to join in the public protest, something the ultra-Orthodox have refrained from doing until now. However, they are expected to demonstrate in Jerusalem on Thursday.
