Offensive Parade Cancelled
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
A disturbing, divisive parade that threatened to offend all
of Torah-true Jewry, and indeed all moral people, and
undermined the sanctity of the holy city of Jerusalem has
been cancelled.
The event organizers met a fierce front of opposition from
all circles of chareidi and religious Judaism in addition to
massive opposition by Christian and Muslim organizations, who
joined the campaign led by Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky and
other public figures.
Police officials hinted to the organizers they would be hard-
pressed to provide adequate security for the event,
originally scheduled to take place two weeks from now, due to
the state of national security and the threat of angry
reactions by the chareidi public. The organizers eventually
withdrew their plans, saying the event would require massive
security by police forces.
