Jews block Greek Orthodox Christians from entering holy site
For two days in a row, haredi yeshiva students blocked Greek Orthodox Christians from entering the compound that houses both the area believed to be King David’s tomb and the area where the last supper was purportedly held. On the first day of the protest, there were hundreds of haredi protestors, though the number had dropped to only twenty on the second day.
Jerusalem church building torched in apparent hate crime
Suspected Jewish extremists set fire to a Greek Orthodox seminary building in Jerusalem early Thursday, police said, 24 hours after a mosque was torched in the West Bank.
The vandals torched an annexe of the seminary near the walls of the Old City and scrawled "graffiti insulting Jesus", police spokeswoman Luba Samri said, describing it as a "nationalist" attack.
