"A religious Jew stabbed three people during clashes between dozens of ultra-Orthodox Jews and thousands of Gay Pride Parade marchers in central Jerusalem Thursday.

The Magen David Adom emergency services reported the two are listed in light and medium condition.

Thirteen religious Jews were arrested for attempting to block the parade's path."

"Hagay Elad, the director of the Gay grassroots organization “Jerusalem Open House,” said the violence is “a direct result of the incitement that took place during the past few weeks against the homo-lesbian community.”

“This is not the first time we see how incitement in Israel leads to physical violence, which begins with (Jerusalem) Mayor Uri Lopoliansky and his associates,” he said.

2. Fundamentalists

No matter what their religious background, fundamentalists are dangerous. What is more disgusting is that people think this type of behavior is acceptable.
