The defiant graffiti spray-painted on the walls of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, protesting the planned demolition of a synagogue in Givat Ze'ev that had been built on privately owned Palestinian land, served as a warning: The religious-cultural clash within Israeli society is becoming ever more extreme.
