(Tel Aviv, Israel) - Some 15,000 people arrived at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square on Friday to participate in the annual gay pride parade. Several dozen right-wing activists, including Baruch Marzel, greeted the marchers at Rabin Square with chants of “anti-Semites” and “you are bringing disaster upon us” and called for the parade’s cancellation. About 500 police officers and volunteers were positioned along the parade’s route to keep order. On Wednesday the Knesset approved in a first reading two bills aimed at preventing the gay pride parade from taking place in Jerusalem, or in any other place in the country.
