A 16-year-old boy was arrested a short time ago at the Western Wall on suspicion of spitting near a Reform worshiper.

Witnesses to the incident said that the Reform worshiper had initially aroused provocations.

Attorney Rehavia Piltz of the Honenu organization, an Israeli Zionist legal aid organization which offers legal assistance to Israelis  to protect and preserve their rights to receive a fair judicial process, said that "it is sad that Israeli police allow only one sided freedom of speech. The Reform community can attack, villify, arouse provocations and harm public peace and those who protest find themselves under arrest. This is a harsh discrimination."
