(Israeli) Supreme Court Asked To Ban Jerusalem Gay Pride

[WillParkinson]

(Jerusalem) Israel's Supreme Court was asked Thursday to issue an injunction barring gays from holding a pride march in Jerusalem later this month.

The ultra-right National Jewish Front and the city of Jerusalem filed separate briefs with the high court asking to have the parade cancelled.

The National Jewish Front in its brief called the parade a "a provocation".

The brief filed by the city said it feared civil unrest.

The parade is scheduled for June 26th. The high court will hear arguments.

1. The ironly about the "provocation" argument is...

That the people petitioning the High Court are the very ones who will guarantee a bloody protest if the parade is allowed to occur.
