Orthodox Jewish man stabs six in the Jerusalem Gay Parade
Quote:
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man stabbed and wounded six participants, two of them seriously, in the annual Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem on Thursday, with police saying the suspect was jailed for a similar attack 10 years ago.
About 5,000 people celebrating the event were marching along an avenue when a man jumped into the crowd, apparently from a supermarket, and plunged a knife into some of the participants, witnesses said.
"We heard people screaming, everyone ran for cover, and there were bloodied people on the ground," Shai Aviyor, a witness interviewed on Israel's Channel 2, said.
It was the worst attack in years on the event in Jerusalem, a divided city where the religious population is more prominent than in other parts of Israel and highlighted the tension nationwide among disparate social groups.
there are homophobes and religious extremists everywhere, in every country in the world-nobody is gay friendly by that standard. the fact that gay pride parades are even a thing that is allowed to happen in israel makes it way more gay friendly than the rest of the middle east.
I've never met an anti gay Jew. I'm Jewish and have been to Israel and have family serving in the army and government with Israel. There always are sick disgusting people like the one who stabbed earlier today but that is the exception not the rule
In 2005, he stabbed three gays and lesbians during the pride parade in Jerusalem.[1][2] As a result, he was sentenced to twelve years in prison.[2] However, he was released early, in 2015.[1]
In 2015, only three weeks after being released, he stabbed six gays and lesbians during the Jerusalem pride parade.[1][2] His criminal act was swiftly condemned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[3]
To be honest I'm ****ing disgusted with the OP being blatantly anti Israel for no reason other than a sick person who happened to live in the country and do a terrible thing.
