This practice has been going on for over 20 years. The difference now the practice is being defended by politicians like Ben Gvir.
Ironic when you realize Christian Evangelists in the US are Israel’s biggest supporters.
They think they’ll laugh at the burning jews in hell. Literally.
This article is fuckin great. Ben Gvir is/was Israel’s national security minister, and oversees the police:
Ben Gvir had previously defended the act of spitting on Christians as “an ancient Jewish custom”.followed later by:
Police have reportedly not been taking the attacks seriously, refusing to treat the incidents as part of a trend and downplaying the culprits' motives by saying they are carried out due to "mental illness".It’s not a problem because it’s an ancient tradition, but an ancient tradition carried out only by those with “mental illness”.
Hmm.
This was published three days before Oct 7. I wonder what the author has written since. I’m not going to find out in case it’s awful.
I opened the article expecting to read about extracting DNA from the spit to identify the spitter.
