Such was the case in yesterday's parade. over 25,000 people took to the streets ... not so much to support the LGBT community ... but to express their anger at ultra-orthodox judaism's stranglehold on Israeli society; its intolerant attitude to all other people which had led to the murder of the 16 yr old girl in last year's parade. Yesterday it was revealed that the ultra-orthodox murderer who is in jail actually planned another attack through his brother ... who was himself arrested a day earlier. In fact some 40 people were arrested during the march yesterday ... including 2 who carried knives. Apparently it is perfectly alright for a Torah-abiding jew to kill others (including jews) who do not interpret the Torah in a similar way. Well for the record, there was a precedent in history: the Maccabees. It strikes me as frightening that a religion actually endorses the right to kill others of the same belief only on the grounds of different interpretation. This is a totally different ball game from muslims killing christians and yezidis and mandaeans etc.... that is one religion against another. Over here it's all within one religion ... torn within itself. What did I say about an implosion?
