Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi Yizthak Yosef condemned the spitting at Christians by a group of religious Jews in Jerusalem.
"An act of taunting non-Jews under the name of religion and the name of heaven is a desecration of the name of heaven. The acts of provocation against members of other religions that were carried out in Jerusalem must be condemned. This is nationalism that has no place and has nothing to do with it Judaism," Rabbi Yosef said.
