2 Jewish Israelis detained for allegedly spitting at Christian cleric in Jerusalem
Two youths insulted and spat at Christian priest in Old City in first reported incident since war started in October, though before that there had been a marked rise
It was the first such reported incident since October, when police said they had marked a significant rise in attacks on Christians in Jerusalem, with 17 incidents reported in the six months prior.
I wonder how the Evangelical Christians in the US who blindly support Israel feel about this.
They blindly support Israel because they think Israel's existence is necessary to trigger the End Times; they don't give a shit about what actually happens there.
Hopefully they're smart enough not to extrapolate individual acts to population-level opinions.

Got some bad news for you there.
This is not an individual event. People get beaten and harassed trying to get to Easter service, they refuse checkpoint crossing so people can’t make holy day services, shot people at churches, bombed churches. I mean this is a state based on a single religious superiority, you don’t think they harass and discriminate other religions? Christians don’t have the same rights as other groups, it is a known thing.
Too late. They've bought the Israeli propaganda wholesale that all Palestinians are Hamas supporters.
They actively don't care unless it impacts their pilgrimage directly.
They want Jesus to come back, and they think one part of that is that Jews control the holy land.
They are actively harming the world because they truly believe that 1) humans cannot destroy God's creation, so 2) if we get close he'll have to step in and end the world and take them to the heaven that they refused to build here.
They've been very quiet. Devoted Catholic Joe Biden hasn't mentioned anything about IDF snipers killing 2 women in a Catholic church in Gaza either.
These guys got punished, not for what they did, but for allowing it to be filmed. They'll get a slap on the wrist and told to do their hate crime more carefully.
