Several dozen protesters demonstrated Tuesday outside the Pais Arena stadium in Jerusalem, where the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem was holding its Israeli Night as part of its annual Feast of the Tabernacles.
The protest came amid a rise in incidents targeting Christian priests and pilgrims in the capital — and a day after a widely condemned incident of ultra-Orthodox Jews spitting on Christians.
Demonstrators, mostly religious teens, called out to those walking into the stadium, alleging that the ICEJ is a missionary organization, and held up a banner reading, “We should stand strong as proud Jews. Faithfully for Generations!”
