Thousands Protest After Attack On Christian Shrine In Israel
Advertisements [?]
<snip>

"Thousands of protesters have marched through the streets of Nazareth in the wake of an attack on a major Christian shrine.

The protesters accuse the Israeli government of failing to halt Friday's attack on the church and demand better protection for holy sites. An Israeli couple is blamed for setting off the series of small explosions in the town known as Jesus' home. There was little damage, but dozens were hurt in the ensuing riot.

Emotions raised by the attack on the Basilica of the Annunciation reflect the fragile status of Israel's Arab minority, which has long claimed it suffers discrimination at the hands of the Jewish majority.

Many participants are rejecting the government's claim that Friday's violence was driven by personal distress instead of politics."
