lego 44,165 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Police arrest brother of ultra-Orthodox Jew who killed 16-year-old last year, and deploy hundreds of officers along route of Thursday's march Israeli police said they had detected a new plot against Jerusalem's Gay Pride march to be held on Thursday, a year after an ultra-Orthodox Jew killed a teenager and stabbed five other people. Police said they suspected the man behind the attack on last year's march, Yishai Shlissel, had been in contact with his brother from prison about an assault on Thursday's event. Shlissel's brother, Michael, has been arrested and was being held in police custody. Police said in a statement they uncovered information that "Yishai Shlissel had planned, with his brother Michael Shlissel, to attack march participants". The alleged plot raised fresh concerns hours ahead of the march, with hundreds of Israeli police already deploying in Jerusalem to protect participants. Shira Banki, 16, was killed at the march in July last year after she was attacked at random along with five others by Shlissel, who is now serving a life sentence. Shlissel had spent 10 years in jail after an almost identical attack on the 2005 Jerusalem Gay Pride march and had been released just three weeks before last year's event, leading to criticism of police. ... Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat has drawn the ire of many in the gay community for announcing he would not attend Thursday's march in part because it "offends the (ultra-Orthodox Jewish) public and the national-religious public". The march comes at a difficult time for Israel's LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community, with an alleged homophobe recently nominated as the army's chief rabbi. The military named Colonel Eyal Karim as its chief rabbi despite him having allegedly referred to gay people as "sick and disabled". read more http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/jerusalem-gay-pride-killer-plotted-new-attack-prison-police-1083350916 http://www.timesofisrael.com/pride-parade-killer-plotted-new-attack-from-prison-police-say/ FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you proud of the army too and the chief rabbi? If he was attacking anyone directly, i wouldn't have minded. (guessing we speaking about the brother now) IDF protecting Israel, so yes. About that rabbi, no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
