Thousands of people attended the annual Jerusalem Pride Parade on Thursday amid heavy protection by Israeli police, who arrested three people suspected of threatening the event.

Past years have seen religious radicals attack participants. Jerusalem is home to a large ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and other conservative religious groups, and many residents oppose the event.
The Jerusalem parade is much smaller than the yearly festivities in the more liberal Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial hub on the Mediterranean Sea. Up to 7,000 people attended the Jerusalem march this year, police said.

Police could be seen deployed on nearby rooftops and a police helicopter hovered overhead. The police said they arrested two suspects with batons, tear gas and gloves in their car who were heading to the parade area.

In 2015, an Israeli man stabbed 16-year-old Shira Banki to death and wounded several others at the Jerusalem Pride Parade; he had recently been released for a similar attack on parade participants in 2005. The attack was widely condemned across Israel's political spectrum.
Earlier Thursday, police said they had apprehended a 21-year-old European citizen residing in Jerusalem on suspicion of sending threats to an organizer of the parade and to several members of parliament who support LGBTQ rights. The police provided no further details.

“We will not allow the Pride Parade to take place in Jerusalem, the holy city. Shira Banki’s fate awaits you," read the threat sent to liberal Labor party lawmaker and longtime LGBTQ-rights supporter Gilad Kariv.

Some members of Israel’s ultra-religious community oppose the parade, homosexuality, and LGBTQ rights, and say the event should not take place in the holy city. A far-right anti-LGBTQ group, Lehava, usually stages a counter-protest nearby.
Earlier this week, Israel’s defense minister said the government would consider designating Lehava a terrorist organization for affiliation with the late Rabbi Meir Kahane and his violent, anti-Arab ideology.

Israel has emerged as a major gay-friendly travel destination in recent years, in sharp contrast with the rest of the region, where gays are often persecuted and even killed. Members of the LGBTQ community serve openly in Israel’s military and parliament, and many popular artists and entertainers as well as the country’s current health minister are openly gay. But leaders of the LGBTQ community say Israel has a long way to go to promote equality.

He didn't do anything when mere mortals killed him, and he will still do nothing. Until that appointed time, satan has but a very limited time, and power has been given unto him to test the people.

I don't know why I hate seeing this Rainbow Colour beautiful rainbow colour these people ruined it

Don't you get tired of your funny final day that's never gonna come..release yourself from Religion slavery..

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Religion in Western Europe is almost dead including Islam, and Israel, UK and America are heavily influenced by them. I'm almost tempted to believe that it's the reason Western Europe by far has the most livable states in the Western world.

Both the left and right in Europe are generally liberal democracies and would be classified as Democrats by American standards.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand) .....
Jesus Christ already told us about the end time, see Matthew 24:15-51

Where are those Africa Christians that want to kill or dead for Israel .
The holy land now have holy pride parade

Here is where I still respect Saudi Arabia, because nothing like this can’t ever happen.

I thought God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for something like this and now it’s even happen in so called Holy land.

Can you stop saying convert?.... it's really offensive to queer people. How would you feel if a gay man said he wants to convert you?

God never destroyed sodom and Gomorrah for just homosexuality alone,it was for all their sins
