[pictures of the shirt I wore, which has a drawing of a rainbow and a curvy path. In Hebrew, it reads: “The path to Hashem isn’t always straight!”]
Ten years ago, a religious man named Yishai Shlisel stabbed three people at the Jerusalem Pride Parade and was sentenced to prison.
A month ago, he was released.
Today was the Jerusalem Pride Parade. And there he was, waiting with his knife.
I heard screams behind me and turned to see what the matter was. The crowd was splitting, and police was holding a man to the ground. I saw as they took him away, as ambulances sped off with the victims. (How many? 1? 2? 3? 4? The numbers kept going up.)
Turns out it was him. He stabbed six people this time.
I am repulsed.
I am ashamed to be of a religion that shares its name with his.
I am disappointed with the futility of law enforcement and the fact that no one thought to watch over him tonight.
I am sad.
Homophobia is not over. This is why we need Pride.
EDIT: The teen girl who was the most severely injured is no longer in mortal danger. Thank God.
