JERUSALEM, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- For a second Saturday in a row, ultra-Orthodox Jews rallied outside an Intel computer chip plant in Jerusalem, protesting work done on the Sabbath, police said.

Two demonstrators were arrested after some protesters confronted police and Intel security personnel, shouting "Nazis!" and "murderers!" at police, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The newspaper said protesters also threw rocks at journalists covering the protest.

Members of the Forum of Organizations for Jerusalem's Freedom showed support for the U.S. computer chip company by painting slogans on sidewalks and hanging banners. The group said it didn't hold a counter-protest at the request of Intel management, the Post reported.
