Jerusalem, Western Wall (Wailing Wall).1989. After the SIX DAY WAR a partition was put up in the plaza in front of the Wall to make a separation between the male and female worshippers. Women who protested and attempted to pray with Torah scrolls were attacked by ultra orthodox worshippers. Smoke greandes used by the police to disperse the crowd were caught by the demonstrators and thrown towards the women and the police.
