A video showing ultra-Orthodox Jews allegedly spitting towards Christian worshippers in Jerusalem has sparked widespread condemnation it was posted on the social media site X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.

The video, taken in the old city of Jerusalem, shows a number of ultra-Orthodox Jews, including children, spit at a group of Christian worshipers as they exited a church carrying a cross.

The video has drawn widespread condemnation from Israeli officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that he "strongly condemn[s] any attempt to intimidate worshippers" and that "derogatory conduct towards worshipers is sacrilege and is simply unacceptable."His comments were echoed by a number of other officials including foreign minister Eli Cohen, who stated that the act "does not represent Jewish values."

However, one prominent far-right settler, Elisha Yered, remarked that the act of spitting on churches and towards Christians is permitted in the Jewish faith, calling the act "an ancient Jewish custom."

He added that "perhaps under the influence of Western culture we have forgotten what Christianity is, but I think the millions of Jews who have experienced the Crusades, the [Spanish] Inquisition, blood libel, and mass pogroms will never forget."

Yered, the former adviser to Israeli MK Limor Son Har-Melech of the far-right Otzama Yehudit party, was arrested in August as a suspect in the murder of Palestinian teenager Qusai Mu'tan in the West Bank village of Burqa.The incident is the latest in a series of attacks against Christians that have occurred since the start of the year. Such attacks have seen extremist Jews spit at priests and vandalise Churches and cemeteries.

Such incidents have led to fierce criticism of Israel's current far-right government, which has been blamed for not doing enough to stop the incidents.

The government has also been blamed for emboldening Jewish extremism in Israel. Once such instance includes the actions of Elisha Yered in August being praised by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

What do you call the act of Muslims killing Christians and labeling them infidels?
Bigoted Islamic zealot.

It’s old time tradition for Jews

A bill was almost passed to ban Christianity in Israel in March 2023.

Even in recent raid, a 1000 year old church has been bombed!

I know.

It’s like a ritual to them.

At least they don't behead Christians or bomb their worship house

Tradition indeed

While passing through Jafar in Israel during my pilgrim travel some years ago, I and other Nigerians were spat at and they refused selling to us. As a black christian, it's even worse

Those are the ones who spit at Christians 😂

THAT HAS CHANGED SINCE THE IGBOS BECAME JEWS.

Still we support d total bombing of gaza.

Beheading of humans is an Islamic tradition

Enslaving natives is an ancient Fulani traditions

Emir of illorin

This Muslims are funny they want Christians to hate Jews not knowing our fate are highly interwhined,its just like asking sunni to hate Shia tho this scenario is very possible to you goat fuckèrs because you guys hate everything including ursleves

Jews! Another immature people..

If you know the real identity of these people that claim to be Jews, you will understand why they spit at Christians.

Killing and burning Christians and kidnapping Christian women for rape purposes is an ancient Islamic tradition.

I guess one has to be a fool to think that Christians will treat spitting the same way as genocide.

List where christians are being killed. Just mention.

The people living in Jerusalem today aren't real Jews by blood most of them are migrants who embraced Judaism along with the hatred for a first century Jewish carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth.
So if anyone openly acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah (Christ) that God promised the Jews among them such a person will be expelled from their synagogues and nobody will either buy nor sell anything to such a person in fact such a person will be intimidated and vilified unless he or she stays far away from Judaists! John 9:22

But first century Jews knows the difference between real Christians and religionists claiming Christians today's Judaists are simply confused because they don't really know the root cause of the hatred real Jews had against Jesus and his followers what the common Judaists today are agitating for totally differs from the real deal!

Hmmmmmmm from your response i can sense sentiment.
But it's OK for your information true disciples of Christ today know that God has condemned that nation long ago {Matthew 21:43} and don't think any nation as in like geographical location is God's chosen anymore rather God's people today worship Him in Spirit and truth!

Who did Boko Haram kidnap and kill? How many churches are still standing in the areas of the North controlled by Boko Haram? Who murdered Deborah Samuel? Who kidnapped Leah Sharibu?

Yes, because we all know that spitting on someone is far more offensive than kidnapping them, raping and killing them. Thank you for showing the whole world why you guys are at the bottom of everything that has to do with intelligence or decency.

If it is permitted in the so-called Jewish religion, are you insinuating those spat upon should simply accept it and move on, particularly in this Covid-19 era?
