(Jerusalem, Israel) - A survey conducted last week by Geocartography Knowledge Group found that 64 percent of Jewish Israelis oppose holding the Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz's name appeared on a press release calling on Jews to protest the parade. "The previous parade brought upon us the Second Lebanon War, with 150 dead and 1 million refugees... We call on all Jews to come to Jerusalem to use lawful means to stop the parade," the statement read. Steinsaltz is the honorary president of a revived version of the Sanhedrin, the ancient 71-man governing body of the Jewish people, which published the press release.
