Prof. charged with incitement to violence for comments on Gay Pride parade
Hillel Weiss; 13/8/08
Outspoken Bar-Ilan University Professor Hillel Weiss was indicted on Wednesday for incitement to violence, and for threatening and insulting a civil servant. Two weeks before the 2005 Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem, Weiss said in an interview that “this abomination should be expelled from the Holy City by any means necessary.” Violent protests then erupted at the site the parade, during which one marcher was stabbed. In another incident, Weiss was last year filmed verbally abusing Israel Defense Forces Hebron Division commander Colonel Yehuda Fuchs during the forced evacuation of settlers in the local market.
