Just for the record, even if the Pride march goes ahead in Jerusalem tomorrow, I just cant find enough motivation to support it, the reaction of Orthodox Judaism notwithstanding. Jerusalem is the most contested city in the world. Its Palestinian residents are subjected to numerous pressures to squeeze them out, walled in, permits required to move beyond the wall, their portion of the city continually annexed by Israeli developments and for those Palestinians who live outside of Jerusalem who want to worship at their faith's most sacred site, the mosque at Al Quds, the way is barred.
There is something very wrong with the priorities of this proposed Pride march, in asserting the rights of lesbians and gays to walk through a city while others who were born and live there have no rights at all.
