Pride in Jerusalem, originally uploaded by pinkfixie.

the Hebrew words "Loh G'Vuloht" means "without borders"... On some level maybe it worked cuz all the religious people of all the different religiouns finally agreed on something...

None of them wanted the International Pride Parade to happen in Jerusalem...

So the Ultra Orthodox protested and were rioting in the streets, and Hamas was threatening to bomb stuff, and the Pope just basically said he was dissapointed in Jerusalem and that he didn't want it to happen.

The Israeli army said they didn't have the ability to protect the Parade from the violence threatened by the Ultra-Orthodox, and also deal with potential Hamas bombings, so they put it in a corner of the Hebrew University campus on the edge of the track field and called off the actual Parade...

The Israeli band "HaDag Nahash" played and had the crowd jumping around for a while... They were fun, even though I was mostly irritated by the whole thing...
