Jerusalem Day marks the "reunification" of Jerusalem in 1967 and the Jews regaining access to the venerated Temple Mount. The day is generally tense as Jews march through the Arab quarter of Jerusalem's old city to commemorate victory in the Six Day War. This year, the holiday is especially fraught because of the war in Gaza. Young religious men marched through the streets chanting "death to Arabs" and other provocative slogans, and clashed with left-wing demonstrators and Arab youth. As Sarah Ventre reports, even thousands of police officers couldn't keep things from going off the rails.
