Thousands of ultra-Orthodox men protest against Eurovision contest

 Thousands of ultra-Orthodox men demonstrated Saturday in central Jerusalem against the desecration of Shabbat, the Jewish weekly rest day, as Tel Aviv readies for the Eurovision finals this evening.

Protesters said the rally is against "the horrible desecration of Shabbat in the holy land, and against the abomination show going on in Tel Aviv."

One protester was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
