Orthodox Jewish Man Attacks Pride Parade

Recommended Posts

An Orthodox Jewish assailant stabbed and injured six participants of an annual gay pride march Thursday in Jerusalem, police and witnesses said.

Police and medics said the assailant had wounded six people. Two were taken to hospital in serious condition.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the alleged attacker, Yishai Schlissel, was arrested. Israeli media outlets have reported the suspect is the same person responsible for a stabbing attack on three people at the same pride march in 2005. Schlissel was recently released from prison after serving time for the attack.

Five thousand marchers waving banners were heading down an avenue when an ultra-Orthodox man jumped into the crowd and plunged a knife into some of them, witnesses said.

"I saw an ultra-Orthodox youth stabbing everyone in his way," said ShaiAviyor, a witness interviewed on Israel's Channel 2 television.

"We heard people screaming, everyone ran for cover and there were bloodied people on the ground," Aviyor said.

Media reports said the suspect hid in a nearby supermarket and jumped out to attack the march when it passed.

Police spokesman Asi Ahroni said there was a "massive presence" of police securing the parade but "unfortunately, the man managed to pull out a knife and attack."

The march continued after the wounded were taken for treatment, but in a more somber atmosphere. Media reported that thousands of Jerusalem residents who had not participated in the parade joined in after the attack in solidarity.

Oded Fried, the head of a leading gay rights group, said the march would go on despite the attack. "Our struggle for equality only intensifies in the face of such events," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned it "as a most serious incident" in what was the worst attack in years on the event in Jerusalem, a city where the religious population is more prominent than in other parts of Israel.

The parade, which attracts thousands of participants, has long been a focus of tension between Israel's predominantly secular majority and the ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority, who object to public displays of homosexuality.

keep in mind.

Palestinians now get a 5 year minimum for simply throwing rocks

Let's watch

How did that pride parade in the west bank work out? Or anywhere else in the middle east for that matter? Or the one in the Vatican or Mecca?

This is also the second time this individual has done this. Last time he got a 12 year sentence.

If the attacker was an Arab he would shot immediately.

If the attacker was an Arab he would be instantly be called a "terrorist". When a Jewish person do these attacks he is usually called mentally ill.

What a double standard.

BTW, this is another story involving an Orthodox Jew. The other day I posted the story about the person who did not want a woman sitting next to him. What's wrong with them?

awww I was wondering where you were.

All someone had to do was cough anything remotely resembling the word jew or israel and poof there you are.

it's like trying to open a bag of chips in a house full of kids. You just can't do it without someone showing up.

This orthodox nonsense controls and runs large swaths of Israeli politics and treat both the LGBT community and women like trash. It isn't just this one guy it's the entire sect

Now. You also never mention the similarities between the orthodox jews and the muslims you've torn apart so frequently.

I just wanted to post this upcoming image to remind you, that it IS NOT relegated to any one religion.

And as such i will post this lovely dress code via Lev Tahor right here and allow you to minge about the west bank or muslims again.

Religion

And the failure by some to understand that they are all just as bad as the other when relegated to fanaticism

I still don't get your point. This guy was already given a 12 year sentence last time. You are now further implying he is going to get off easy because Israeli society is controlled by bigoted religious fanatics.

Care to take a bet on this? I'd guarantee this guy gets at least another decade in jail.

But in all seriousness, they all are barbaric in their own way, but I really don't think that Hebrews or any other religion even come close to the throne of barbarity Muslims employ today. Christians do a nice job in Africa, but they still don't come close. Muslims rule most of Africa, some of the Balkan region of Europe, a good portion of Asia (including the Middle East) and Oceania, way too much of the world is subject to their barbarity against women, gays, and other religious/non-religious people.

Nonetheless, it's really a distraction. A spade should just be called a spade, this is a barbaric act that's never tolerable. It's a disgusting bigoted act and I'm very disappointed this guy was arrested rather than killed. There's no reason gays or anyone should even be dealing with any sort of coercion, never mind the violent type. I hope gay pride marches and parades wind up going all over Israel.

Frist thing I thought about was a report a cpl of days ago about plans to organize a gay pride in muslim parts of city in Stockholm Sweden, just to get a reaction and get world wide headlines. Wonder what the organizers think of this development and if they are now hoping perhaps they should have done this in a jewish neighborhood of Stockholm.

My point towards you is it is laughable the lengths you go to ignore common sense to defend Israel.

My point to this in general is that hatred doesn't know any specific creed colour or religion. He may get more time, he may just be sent to a nice cushy psychiatric hospital.

Either way, this sect and the power behind it as well as the power it wields in the Knesset will ensure they can continue this barbarity without issue

All barbaric? Man is barbaric...he doesn't need religion for that...

Maybe we need to look at what really is barbaric?

http://listverse.com/2013/03/02/10-barbaric-practices-that-still-exist/

What about Boko Haram?

Now tell me what "barbaric" acts are Christians doing in Africa?

While we are on Africa, don't forget the 1400 years of slavery the Arab/Islamic world has been doing to Africa....

Edit: If you mean the Christian anti-balaka gangs, then yes, that's barbaric as well...

I really don't see how this individual has been allowed to continue without issue. He literally just spent the last ten years in prison.... Not a psychiatric prison. A real prison.

Meanwhile Israeli leaders and religious figures, including chief rabbis, are lining up to condemn this guy.

Once again, I'd guarantee he gets at least another ten years and probably twenty.

Again your doing what you do every time someone attacks your religions.. Deviate from any responsibility.

I'll say it again your religion is just as worse as any other religion..

So stop trying to cover up tracks by finding faults in others..

Just remember Christians have only been enlightened for like 40 years..

Smarten up!

Not covering tracks - putting it in perspective that's all.

Yes, I will defend my faith, and others, and I don't deviate from responsibility - those guilty should be punished to the full extent of the law.

CDC would get super boring without all these religion threads.

Probably because some people like to blame religion for one thing or another.

The story isn't about a man stabbing some people - it's about an "Orthodox Jewish" man...

Every story has to have some sort of kick at someone - we are constantly separating and prejudicing people - and people wonder why we are so messed up...

I dont blame religion I blame the freaks that misinterpret the positive and beautiful aspects of all the faiths. Yes, yes there are positives. Just like anything in life a few bad apples literally ruin it for everyone. What i fail to understand is why here on this forum instead of fruitful intelligent discussion we just rip each other to shreds ?

Regardless of who is supporting what humans dont seem to be very tolerant of differing ideals and values. Religion plays a large part in clouding judgement that is fact. It also helps people find their way that is also fact.

What if we just took the bad apples threw them in the garbage and just started to taste a few other flavors ? would that be really so bad ?
