East Jerusalem5

Jerusalem, July 27th, Demascus Gate, East Jerusalem. To prevent disturbances during a wedding of 72 couples(according to one Arab source) Israeli police disbursed a crowd gathering to enter the gate, allowing people in a few at a time. For 1300 years Jews and Christians were forbidden to ride on Horses in Jerusalem(except during the Crusades) because of their status as 'dhimmi' or secondary people under Shariah 'Islamic' law. Thus by riding on horses the Jewish police are invariably showing that they are no longer second class citizens.
