Young children were brought to a makeshift stage wearing striped prison garb along with their yellow stars. One held up his hands in an imitation of a famous image from the Warsaw Ghetto. Protesters also shouted “Nazis” at police during the demonstration.</p> <p>“Prisoner uniforms and yellow patches with the word ‘Jew’ written on them in German are shocking and appalling,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in a statement. “The use of yellow patches and small children raising their hands in surrender crosses a red line which the ultra-Orthodox leadership, who are largely responsible people, must not accept.” — jta</p>
