Chief Jerusalem Rabbi Aryeh Stern responded to today's (Thursday) stabbing attack at the Gay Pride Parade.
"Hurting any human being is forbidden by the Torah. This afternoon's event again increases the danger from marginal extremist elements. It also teaches us that we need to continue acting in order to remove such weeds," said Rabbi Stern.
"The religious community condemns people with such views and is repelled by their actions. I am praying for the wounded to have a quick recovery."
