Arutz Sheva - Israel National News: "PA Airs Made-in-America Anti-U.S. Movie
16:37 Jul 31, '05 / 24 Tammuz 5765
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
The PA is airing on TV an anti-American movie, produced in 1992 in the U.S. The film exploits 'a subtler but very potent entertainment medium,' according to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is telecasting the movie, 'Nick and Eddy in Trouble,' with Arabic subtitles to 'further [its] anti-America agenda,' said Itamar Marcus, director of PMW. He said that bringing 'Western culture' gives more legitimacy to the Moslem world's growing anti-American conspiracy propaganda.
The movie features an investigative reporter who discovers that the United States government is funding terrorism in a fictional South American country as part of its imperialistic desires to gain control of the country.
During the movie, the reporter, Eddy, states, 'I understand that the U.S. is arming these opposing parties in order to undermine the government and generally screw up the progress here. It's weird how we grew up with this image of America being the good guy, when, if you research a little, you find out that our country has done some pretty crappy things to other countries to control them. It's a bummer.'
'The PA is actively and intentionally promoting the negative stereotype of America as international bully,' according to PMW. 'Going beyond its routine anti-American hatred in religious sermons and newspaper editorials, the PA is reinforcing the hatred of America that is already so rampant in the PA today.
'This kind of popular entertainment in a midday time slot during the summer vacation reaches a wide audience, including and especially children. By using this movie and other media to present the US as the source of world terror, the PA is promoting a central argument in Arab anti-Western ideology."

Arutz Sheva - Israel National News: "Rockets Falling; Israel Prepares More Towns For Bombardment
22:03 Jul 28, '05 / 21 Tammuz 5765

As Kassam rockets continue to fall within Israel's pre-1967 borders, security forces are scrambling to develop a plan to protect towns bordering Gaza following the planned withdrawal.
As Kassam rockets continue to fall within Israel's pre-1967 borders, security forces are scrambling to develop a plan to protect towns bordering Gaza following the planned withdrawal.
Four Kassam rockets landed overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning in Sderot and in open areas in the western Negev. The Red Dawn system went off in Sderot, alerting residents to seek shelter. No injuries or damage were reported.
The semi-successful 'Red Dawn' early warning system, which has usually given Sderot residents just over a minute's warning that a rocket has been fired at their town, has now been installed in other cities and towns within firing range of Gaza.
The installation of the Red Dawn system in the major city of Ashkelon, reported by local Ashkelon residents who noticed antennae being erected throughout the city months ago, has now been confirmed. In expectation of sustained rocket attacks following a withdrawal from Gaza, the IDF Home Front Command and the local municipality have installed the system in the hope that it will save the lives of residents of the densely populated city.
Ashkelon is home to one of Israel's most important power stations which can be viewed clearly from Gaza.
There is widespread concern among the security establishment that it is only a matter of time until Gaza terrorists obtain Katyusha-type missiles similar to those possessed by the Hizbullah terror group in Lebanon, placing a large chunk of the Jewish State within firing range as well."

Arutz Sheva - Israel National News: "Pope Refuses to Back Down; Porush: Vatican Returns to Hatred
14:18 Jul 31, '05 / 24 Tammuz 5765
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
The Vatican told critics of its failure to condemn terror against Israel it 'cannot take lessons' from others on what to say. MK Porush said the pope has returned to a policy of hatred of Jews.
Israel initially expressed anger that the new, Pope Benedict XVI, omitted Israel in his condemnation recent Arab terror in Egypt and Britain.
After the Vatican did not respond, except for issuing a statement that it could not react to every attack in Israel, the Foreign Ministry charged Pope Benedict with encouraging violence against Jews.
The Vatican responded, 'The Holy See [pope] cannot take lessons or instructions from any other authority on the tone and content of its own statements.' It added that the pope's predecessor, John Paul, often refused to condemn Arab terror against Israel because Israel's retaliations were 'not always compatible with international rights.'
Knesset Member Menachem Porush (United Torah Judaism-UTJ, and pictured above) said that the Pope's statements and lack of condemnation of Arab terrorism against Israel show that the reign of Pope John was a temporary lull in the 'hatred that characterized the Vatican throughout history, reaching its worst during the Second World War.
'The people of Israel always will remember the normal relations [the Vatican] established with the Third Reich,%u2026[its refusal] to denounce the Holocaust and its being careful not to mention the word 'Jew' in all of its officials declarations' on the mass murders by Nazis.
The Vatican's reasoning for not condemning terrorism against Israel because of retaliation actually 'claims that Jews can be murdered but cannot defend themselves as is accepted among other nations,' according to Porush."

PEACEFUL KFAR MAIMON PROTEST HAD PROFOUND EFFECT ON SOLDIERS
16:21 Jul 31, '05 / 24 Tammuz 5765
By Ezra HaLevi
An article in the IDF weekly B'Machane ("On the Base") illustrates how the non-violent standoff at Kfar Maimon two weeks ago shattered the stereotypes held by the thousands of soldiers there.
The article, written by an unnamed platoon commander last week, reads:
"During the course of the past week, my battalion stood opposite those opposing the Disengagement. At the beginning, we were stationed on the road to Kisufim Crossing, in case ant-Disengagement protesters broke through the police perimeters surrounding Kfar Maimon. Later on, we were sent to Kfar Maimon itself, where we surrounded the community's fence.
"We survived 36 hours without bathing facilities, toothbrushes, or normal sleeping facilities, but it was a very important experience for the soldiers. At the fences, there was constant interaction between the soldiers and the demonstrators.
"Many soldiers from the battalion take part in forums creating dialogue between religious and secular Israelis. Many of them joyously met friends of theirs from those forums at Kfar Maimon. My sergeant, for example, saw and spoke with religious girls that he had become acquainted with just one month earlier under completely different circumstances.
"Instead of struggling with the demonstrators, what I saw before my eyes were soldiers standing and talking with the demonstrators - it was a surreal scene.

Thursday, July 28 2005
Johannesburg-based Fingerprint Identification Technology (Fingerprint-it) has installed a biometric control and tracking system for the continent's largest soft-drink company at its main canning plant in Wadeville, SA. Fingerprint-it chief executive officer Bryan Kimmel says the soft-drink vendor is now using fingerprint biometric readers and Fingerprint-it software to track all activity of independent truckers entering the canning site. Sagem supplied the hardware solution for the system.
The system, he says, manages the entire canning plant and warehouse and verifies the identity of any third-party trucker entering the site, tracking their time on the site, what they pick-up, who is responsible, who verified it and when they left.
This produces an 'unforgeable,' time-stamped and lasting record of all activity on the site and effectively reduces the opportunity for illegal access or on-site fraud and crime to zero, Kimmel notes."

Beyond the endless rows of greenhouses outside the little known Gush Katif settlement of Bene Atzmon, a road meanders towards that community's outpost, Kerem Atzmon.
Set behind the outpost's two crescents of trailer homes are about a dozen green tents pitched on beds of concrete.
Called a "tent city" by its teenage residents, the enclave is one of at least five such encampments set up in Gush Katif. The tents are to house about 1,000 activists who have decided to take a stand alongside the residents of Gush Katif.

US losing fight for public opinion in Pakistan: report
By Our Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 28: The United States appears to be losing ground in the fight for public opinion in Pakistan, the government-run Voice of America radio reported on Thursday.
The radio notes that Karen Hughes, a close adviser to President Bush, who this week takes on the job for promoting America’s image abroad will face one of the toughest challenges in Pakistan.
As the under-secretary of state for public diplomacy, Ms Hughes will be Washington’s top public relations official, particularly for the Muslim world where America wants to be seen as friendly to the Muslim people.
“Thousands of demonstrators burn American flags and curse the United States as they march through the streets of Islamabad,” says the report, describing the alleged desecration of the Holy Quran in Guantanamo Bay as a ‘bruising step backward’ for US diplomats struggling to improve America’s reputation in Pakistan.

The Israeli Navy is planning to ferry residents out of Gush Katif by boat if the Kisufim road crossing is blocked. The Navy has rented passenger craft from an unnamed eastern European country.
Navy personnel and reservists are training on the craft. The last time the IDF used passenger boats was during the Peace for Galilee campaign in the early 1980s when the Bat Sheva boat ferried paratroopers to Lebanon.
A resident of Gush Katif said that when Arab violence broke out in the late 1980s, the IDF told the Jewish communities that the Navy would ferry them by sea back and forth to other Israeli communities if necessary."

The decision to destroy all the houses that are scheduled to be evacuated in Gush Katif and northern Shomron appears to be final. Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Israel and reached an 'agreement in principle' that the Israelis would destroy the houses and then pay the PA to deal with the rubble. The PA, however, has apparently reneged on its part of the deal, and Israel is now negotiating with Egypt over a plan to bury the rubble - an estimated 60,000 truckloads' worth - and bury it in the Sinai Desert."

The change, like many things that happen in China, will be gradual and managed. In fact, initially, the Chinese currency will increase in value by only a little over 2 percent.

President Bush yesterday invoked the terrorist attacks in London as a compelling reason for Congress to renew the USA Patriot Act and for local governments to beef up security on mass-transit systems.
As we saw in London, the terrorists are still active and they are still plotting to take innocent life,' Mr. Bush told law-enforcement officers in Baltimore. 'So my message to the Congress is clear: This is no time to let our guard down, and no time to roll back good laws.'
It was the first time the president cited the July 7 London attacks, which killed at least 56 persons in the British capital's subway and bus systems, to bolster support for renewal of the Patriot Act. The U.S. House is scheduled to vote on the measure this week."

Jul. 19, 2005
With the push of a few buttons, parents will soon be able to detect the real-time location of their children with the help of cellphones. Pelephone and Cellcom announced Tuesday that they will be providing a service through which the customer will be able to track the precise location of their child within seconds.
The new service 'Where is my child?' by Pelephone is being launched with the help of GPS infrastructure that Pelephone developed in the last year.
The service will require the parent to own a cellphone with Internet surfing functions, and the child to possess a GPS-enabled cellphone. The parent has to be the registered owner of both phones to be eligible.
To launch the service the parent will have to register the child's cellphone number via a few links on the cellular Internet portal named 'Where is the child?'
Following registration, the parent will be able to receive the exact address and map to the child's location within 20 seconds. Each use of the service will cost 49 agorot including VAT.
At the same time, Cellcom announced the launch of its 'Where are you?' service, also designed to keep parents informed of their child's whereabouts at all times.
The methodology is somewhat different from Pelephone's. The parent calls a designated number and, within moments, gets back an SMS reporting the child's whereabouts in terms of the area, but without providing the exact address."

Privacy advocate Katherine Albrecht, an opponent of the use of radio tags on consumer goods and in ID documents, is a woman any X-Files fan could love.
She's youthful-looking and attractive, with fair skin and cherry-blonde hair. A former schoolteacher, Albrecht also has a master's degree from Harvard, where she is completing a doctoral degree.
Albrecht is suspicious of the government and big business. She's
been an electrifying guest on Coast
to Coast AM, the cult radio show featuring talk about aliens, ghosts, conspiracies and cryptozoology.
As director of the consumer privacy group Caspian, Albrecht is a darling of the mainstream news media too. In hundreds of interviews, in a list of publications that includes Business Week and Times of London, she has warned of privacy risks posed by RFID tags, the radio devices that retailers plan to use as a replacement for bar-code labels.
Albrecht fears that retailers will match the data emitted by the tags with their customers' information, turning each tag into a potential tracking beacon. She also suspects the government will want access to the retailers' RFID databases.
But one aspect of Albrecht's anti-RFID crusade has been attracting a lot of attention from other privacy groups: her religious beliefs.
Albrecht does not often discuss her religious views with reporters. But she believes that RFID technology may be part of the fulfillment of the Mark of the Beast prophesied in the Book of Revelation."

JEWISH PRESENCE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL OF YESTERYEAR
18:36 Jul 11, '05 / 4 Tammuz 5765
By IsraelNationalNews Staff
Dramatic findings from the First and Second Temple periods have been uncovered of late in Antiquities Authority digs in the Nachal Toot area.
Arutz-7’s Kobi Finkler reports that the digs, taking place near Yokne’am in the western Galilee, have revealed the existence of an impressive administrative center from the First Temple period, which ended some 2,500 years ago. In addition, remnants of dense housing in a Jewish village from the Second Temple period – 2,000 years ago – have been found. The Jewish village is thought to have been destroyed at the same time as the Temple, around the year 70 C.E.
The village was found relatively intact, with upright walls and their windows and openings in place. The buildings are clearly laid out around a central yard and a ritual bath (mikveh).
Among the artifacts found at the site are clay pottery, stone utensils and metal objects. Most notable was a Jewish signet with three bands. The signet features a light brown oval-shaped stone, a centimeter in width and a bit more in length. A hole pierced through its middle indicates that it was worn around the neck as a pendant.
On the top band is engraved four pomegranates, while old Hebrew writing can be seen on the lower two bands. The name Amichai [My People Lives] can be seen – probably the father of the owner of the ring. The name of the owner himself, who was apparently a clerk in the administration, also appears to be written, spelled with the letters Lamed, Mem, Kuf, Aleph, Het.
Dr. David Amit of the Antiquities Authority, who was able to interpret the writing together with Dr. Esther Eshel of Bar Ilan University, said that the names Makah and Amichai, which are written on the ring, are new additions to the treasury of known names from early times. “The importance of the ring lies in its contribution to our list of names,” Dr. Amit said. “In addition, this ring is unique in that it was found in an archaeological dig, and not from antiquities collectors.”
The dig was carried out at the request of the Trans Israel Highway Company, which wants to continue Highway 6 - Israel's only toll road - northwards from its present route.
Another find from the dig includes several handles broken from jugs that were used to store food and liquid. The words “for the king” appear, as well as the names of the cities Hevron and Zif, which were important Judean administrative cities at the end of the First Temple period.

PA Text Books Cite ´Protocols´, Reject Peace
20:00 Jul 11, '05 / 4 Tammuz 5765
By Ezra HaLevi
A report on the textbooks published by the Palestinian Authority was released Monday, exposing the teaching of Islamic supremacy, the illegitimacy of Israel and citing an infamous forgery as fact.
The report was published by the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP), a non-governmental organization whose stated purpose is to “encourage a climate of tolerance and mutual respect between peoples and nations, founded on the rejection of violence and the changing of negative stereotypes, as a means to resolving conflicts.”
CMIP’s director of research, Arnon Groiss, spoke with Israel National Radio's Yishai & Malkah Fleisher. Groiss, who compiled and translated the material from the PA school books, said the findings left little room for optimism.
“[The school books] follow the same line of non-recognition of Israel as a sovereign state, non-recognition of the Jewish people as having rights in the country and non-recognition of anything that belongs to Jews – including holy places – nothing. Holy places are all Muslim, whether they say they are ‘used by Jews’ or ‘Jews claim’ such places are holy,” Groiss said.

Palestine-Info.com - Jewish groups step up efforts to destroy Aqsa, build temple in its place
Occupied Jerusalem - In continuation of their malicious attempts to demolish the holy Aqsa Mosque in order to build their alleged temple in its place, several Jewish extremist groups were planning to hold a massive rally, to be called 'walls march', in the holy site's surroundings with the aim of urging the Israeli fanatics to step up their efforts to build that temple, the Israeli TV channel 10 reported.
It said that the participants in the march, usually organized at the start of every Hebrew month, are set to hoist replicas for the alleged temple and chant anti-Muslim slogans.
The Israeli preparations for building the temple were under way, maintaining that the Jewish extremists are impatiently awaiting the so-called 'red cow' and the 'Redeemer' so that they could embark on the construction process, according to the broadcast.

More Soldiers Say, "I Cannot Expel Jews"
21:32 Jul 07, '05 / 30 Sivan 5765
By Hillel Fendel
The phenomenon of soldiers refusing to adhere to disengagement-related orders continues to gain steam. Several soldiers stood trial for their intentions this week.
Youths from Gush Katif visited several army bases in the western Negev earlier this week, in an effort to convince soldiers to refuse orders to remove them from their homes next month. The youths were able to enter at least one of the bases, where soldiers who will be deployed in the disengagement are already beginning to move in. The youths tied orange ribbons to tanks, fences, tents and other objects in the base, and called out, "Don't fulfill illegal orders! How will you be able to live with yourselves afterwards?"
Many soldiers expressed sympathy with their visitors, even putting the orange ribbons around their necks. One was filmed making a clear statement: "We're against the disengagement! I can't take this army... They brought us down here by force [to take part in the disengagement]. If we would refuse, they're threatening us with 28 days in jail - you see what's going on here?"

Isreal National News - July 18: Tens of Thousands to March on Gush Katif
"The Yesha Council has preempted the government: Instead of waiting for the government to declare D-Day by closing off Gush Katif, the Council is asking myriads to start marching on July 18. The plan is for tens of thousands of people - 100,000 ideally, but even 40,000 will do, Council leaders say - to begin making their way down towards Gush Katif in Gaza on July 18."

The Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to teach its youth to honor mass murderers, now adding an education program in honor of female suicide bomber Wafa Idris.
Text on pictured poster reads: "The Fatah Movement... eulogizes with great pride the heroic Shahida Wafa Idris." [Al-Ayyam, February 1, 2002]
Idris became the PA’s first female suicide terrorist in January 2002. She blew herself up in downtown Jerusalem killing an elderly Jewish man and wounding many others. At the time, the Union of Palestinian Women presented Idris as a role model for Arab feminists.

MosNews - Gorbachev Urges World to Wage War on Terrorism
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev called the London acts of terrorism that killed at least two and injured over 90 people “barbarity and wildness”, linking them with the world’s insecurity. “What happened in London is barbarity and wildness and can produce nothing but condemnation,” he said in an interview with Interfax news agency. “Undoubtedly, the war with terrorism has to be continued, and it must not become anything more than a reply to someone’s force.

FrontPageMagazine.com - Bioterrorism: Myths and Realities
In recent days, the public has become increasingly concerned with the threat of “bioterrorism.” Bioterrorism, encompasses no one discipline or field of study, but rather represents a general phrase that encompasses an emerging threat to civilization. It brings together experts from a variety of scientific and public disciplines, including engineers, microbiologists (and their associated disciplines such as biochemistry and genetics), physicians, epidemiologists, law enforcement and other government agencies, and even non-scientific academics such as sociologists and historians. Bioterrorism, however, has been so sensationalized by the media, that now its perceived threat is far greater than its actual threat. Bioterror agents—anthrax, for example, which was the choice weapon of the 2001 attacks against Congress—are more accurately named a “weapon of mass hysteria.” It is very difficult, complicated, and expensive to manufacture an effective bioweapon. Yet the use of such a weapon, an effective one, could cause lethal harm and irrevocable damage. Although we have made notable preventative and precautionary measures against bioterrorism, they have not all been implemented.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) - World leaders united in a show of solidarity to condemn Thursday's deadly bombings in London as an attack on all nations and vowed to defeat the terrorists responsible.
"We shall prevail and they shall not," declared the Group of Eight leaders and the heads of five developing nations meeting with them here. Their joint statement was read by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, flanked by his somber summit colleagues and visibly shaken by the wave of explosions that ripped through London's rush hour.
"We will not yield to these people," President Bush said minutes later.
The leaders, already protected for their annual summit by extraordinary security measures that local authorities said remained sufficient, said the attacks would not halt their meeting focused on the issues of global warming and African poverty.

If a bird flu virus infects a person who also carries a human flu virus, the result could be a hybrid bug that passes easily from person to person. "That's the spark that sets off the forest fire of a global pandemic, and that's what everyone is worried about," said flu expert Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University.Scientists are working on plans now to prepare for the next flu pandemic.

ATLANTA (AP) - The United Church of Christ voted Tuesday to use "economic leverage" to promote peace between Israel and Palestinians and to call for the dismantling of the Jewish state's security fence.
The resolutions were criticized by some Jewish leaders, who called them anti-Semitic.
The votes by the UCC's General Synod came in the closing minutes of the church's annual meeting - and the day after the church's rule-making body voted overwhelmingly to approve a resolution endorsing same-sex marriage.

Israel Commits Large Force for Pullout

JERUSALEM (AP) - Security forces assigned to Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip pullout and northern West Bank will outnumber the settlers they evacuate five to one, Israel's defense minister said Tuesday.
"About 41,000 male and female soldiers will take part in the evacuation, and 3,800 police," Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told a stormy session of lawmakers, Jewish settlers and ministry officials on Israel's so-called "disengagement."
Some 9,000 settlers live in those areas. But with settler resistance to the opposition fierce, security forces are bracing for a tough, and possibly violent evacuation.

Al-Jazeera Launching All-English Channel
Jul 4, 7:19 PM (ET)

(AP) DOHA, Qatar (AP) - Al-Jazeera is nothing if not bold. It has fought repeatedly with Washington, which says its exclusive broadcasts of Osama bin Laden speeches show an anti-American, pro-terrorist bias. Its freewheeling broadcasts have decimated state-run TV stations across much of the Arab world, leading some countries to close its bureaus down. So what does such a network do next? Plan a massive expansion.
By March, the network will launch Al-Jazeera International, a satellite channel that will beam English-language news to the United States - and much of the rest of the world - from its base in tiny Qatar.
The ever-contentious Middle East will be its specialty. And the news, including coverage of Israel, will be served up from an Arab perspective, Al-Jazeera executives say.

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) - The Dalai Lama on Tuesday called on G-8 leaders to do their utmost to ease the plight of millions suffering from poverty.
In a statement read out by rock singer Annie Lennox, the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader said the G-8 summit beginning in Gleneagles, Scotland on Wednesday had "positive potential."
"I call upon G-8 leaders and their advisers to consider and reflect upon the consequences of their thoughts, decisions and actions. Do they and will they contribute to the well-being of all human beings and the planet?" Lennox said, reading from the statement.

The Tenth Red Heifer
From Moses to the Second Temple: Only Nine Red Heifers
The Mishna teaches that up until the destruction of the Second Temple, ashes had been prepared from a total of only nine red heifers. The very first red heifer was processed by Moses himself - as the verse states, "... have them bring you a red heifer." The second was done by the prophet Ezra in the days of the First Temple, and during the entire era of the Second Temple only seven more heifers were used for ashes. This was enough to provide for the nation's needs for purification throughout all those years.
The names of all the High Priests who prepared those seven heifers during Second Temple times are recorded by the Mishna: Simon the Just and Yochanan each made two; El'yhoeini ben Hakof, Chanamel HaMitzri and Yishmael ben Pi'avi processed one heifer each. Thus, from the time that Moses received the commandment of the red heifer from the Holy One, blessed be He, until the destruction of the Second Temple, purifying ashes had been produced by the hands of these great leaders from a total of nine red heifers.
The Tenth Red Heifer Will be Prepared by the Messiah
In recounting this historical record in his commentary to the Mishna, the great Maimonides ends with the enigmatic statement: "... and the tenth red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God's will."
With this amazing statement, Maimonides recounts an ancient tradition - that the tenth red heifer is associated with the Messianic era. Does this perhaps mean that the appearance of a red heifer in these waning end times is an indication, a forerunner of the appearance of the Messiah himself, who will officiate at its preparation?

Forget cameras - spy device will cut drivers’ speed by satellite
Dipesh Gadher, Transport Correspondent
IT IS the ultimate back seat driver. Motorists face having their cars fitted with a “spy” device that stops speeding.
The satellite-based system will monitor the speed limit and apply the brakes or cut out the accelerator if the driver tries to exceed it. A government-funded trial has concluded that the scheme promotes safer driving.
Drivers in London could be among the first to have the “speed spy” devices fitted. They would be offered a discount on the congestion charge if they use the system.

Gen. Ward Admits PA Not Able to Stop Terror
18:53 Jul 01, '05 / 24 Sivan 5765
Special U.S. Middle East envoy Lt.-Gen. William Ward has warned the U.S. Senate that the PA's ability to enforce law and prevent attacks on Israel "does not currently exist."
Ward's comments were distinctively different from the praise he lauded on the Palestinian Authority (PA) during his visit to Israel in May, when he told reporters, "The PA has taken essential steps…to cause a single line of authority to exist…for dealing with law and order. [There is] more to be done."

Haredi stabs three at Gay Parade
SHEERA CLAIRE FRENKEL, THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 30, 2005
What started off as a lively parade of nearly 5,000 Gay Pride activists quickly turned violent Thursday as three young marchers were stabbed by ultra-religious protestors of the parade.
Witnesses said they saw a young, ultra-Orthodox youth dart into the crowd of marchers and stab a young man and woman as they neared the corner of Ben Yehuda Street and Hahistradrut Street. The young woman was injured on her left forearm, while the young man received wounds to his right wrist and a deeper injury to his left upper torso. When nearby marchers saw what had happened they tried to detain the youth, who lightly injured a third ale before running into a group of ultra-Orthodox men standing on the sidewalk.
