Jerusalem Open House threatened ahead of LGBTQ+ Pride march

The Jerusalem Open House for Pride and Tolerance received threats over the weekend to attack the LGBTQ+ Pride March, set to take place on June 1.

"I hope that Yishai Schlissel (the haredi man who murdered Shira Banki, a 15-year-old girl at the 2015 Pride parade) will be there to finish the job he started. [It's] disgusting how you celebrate this mental disorder," wrote the threatener in an email to the Open House.

The individual in question has sent multiple threats to the Open House in recent years.

Tel Aviv, no problem. But they get all pissy about Jerusalem.

That's an impression I'm getting.
