Jerusalem Pride marchers could be forced to show ID by police

Jerusalem Pride organisers have spoken out against a police security plan that would require marchers to show ID.
Activists from Jerusalem Open Home spoke out ahead of the June 6 Pride march, after police proposed a security plan that would require all protesters to show their IDs in order to gain entry to the parade.

Police want to set up security checkpoints around the parade route, with marchers required to show identity documents to pass.

However, in a post to social media, parade organisers raised fears that “the demand for identity cards on the parade raises serious concerns about privacy.”
Organisers explained: “No one will intimidate us and no one will stop us from marching.
“The march in the capital will continue to be safe and secure, as felt by the tens of thousands of marchers who have marched with us in recent years.
“We are working with the police to clarify things, but we will say clearly now: No one will be stopped from entering without ID cards – we will not allow this to happen.”

It’s simply a way of preventing people marching. It’s fucking ridiculous!

It’s a lot more than that Eds. Look at the recent historical events that happened to the Jewish people. And now their government wants to do the same. It’s horrific on so many different levels.

If it don’t make common sense or sounds like waffle...it’s a half-truth at best.
