Israeli Police Arrest Five Suspects for Spitting on Christians in Jerusalem, Outrage Grows

Israeli police have arrested five people suspected of spitting towards Christians or churches in the Old City of Jerusalem. The arrests come as complaints of hostile gestures against Christians have been increasing. The incidents of Jews spitting on Christians in Jerusalem have sparked outrage and condemnation from Jewish leaders and Israeli ministers. Videos of ultra-orthodox Jews spitting near Christians in Jerusalem have been circulating, leading to widespread disgust. The practice of spitting on Christians is seen as an act of public defiance and an attempt to humiliate believers who belong to a minority group. However, it is important to note that the original custom of Jews spitting at Christians was done in secret as a quiet and internal protest of a small, persecuted minority. The current spitting incidents are seen as a symptom of a growing attitude of Jewish supremacy in Israel's current leadership. Jerusalem churches have confirmed that the number of similar incidents is on the rise.
