Protest turns violent at Messianic worship concert in Jerusalem, as far-right anti-Christian activists attempt to stop the event

(Worthy News) – Dozens of far-right ultra-Orthodox Jews began to riot at the site of a local Christian worship event in Jerusalem last Thursday afternoon to protest the event. One suspect, an activist with the far-right organization Lehava, was arrested for attacking a police officer during clashes with the Israel Police.

A crowd of mostly-young protestors had begun to form at the entrance to the Pavilion, a popular venue in central Jerusalem, prior to the concert. The demonstration was organized in an effort to disrupt and stop the event from taking place, which resulted in attendees being harassed with various intimidation tactics, including shouting, whistling and blowing toy trumpets in the ears of the concert attendees as they made their way into the venue.

Eventually, the concert-goers – both local Israeli believers and international Christian tourists – had to be personally escorted by police to the entrance, while protesters did their best to physically block attendees from entering the building. [ Source (Read More…) ]
