Posters hung throughout ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods allegedly signed by man imprisoned for attempting to murder parade participants in 2006, call on community to ‘fight against will of evil to make abomination parade’
Less than 24 hours before the Jerusalem Pride Parade kicks off, authorities are growing increasingly concerned of possible acts of violence at the hands of extremist groups.
Poster hung throughout the capital’s streets called on Jerusalem’s residents to “commit their souls” against “the abomination parade” and stone those taking part in it.
The posters were allegedly signed by Yishai Schlissel, who stabbed and wounded three participants of the May 2006 Jerusalem Pride Parade. He was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison. It is unclear, however, whether his signature is genuine. The identity of those behind the posters remains unknown.
“I call on those loyal to the king to commit their souls, their freedom, and their being to fight against the will of the evil to have an abomination parade,” the letter said. “Now is the time of reckoning – who will be faithful to the King and who will abandon the battle out of personal interests.”
Meanwhile, right wing activists have launched complex preparations for the parade. The ultra-Orthodox public was called on to attend a rally in Jerusalem’s Shabbat Square, scheduled to take place during the parade itself.
