Jerusalem gay pride parade

The Jerusalem gay pride parade (Hebrew: מצעד הגאווה והסובלנות בירושלים) is an annual pride parade taking place in Jerusalem.

In 2005 and 2015, Yishai Schlissel, a Haredi Jewish man[1] stabbed marchers with a knife, resulting in three injuries (2005) and in six injuries, one fatal (2015).[2][3] He was arrested and convicted for the 2005 attack, and released from imprisonment three weeks before the 2015 parade.[4] On 30 July 2015, only three weeks after being released, Yishai Schlissel stabbed six marchers during the Jerusalem gay pride parade.[5][6]
