A far-right group Lehava is gearing up for potential violence at Thursday’s Jerusalem Pride Parade, posting many threatening messages in an internal chat group wishing for the deaths of the pro-LGBTQ+ marchers. One group member posted a banner for a counter-protest against the Parade, adding “Deadly Thursday in Jerusalem.” The incitement has been posted in a Telegram group called “Jews don’t stay silent,” belonging to extremist organization Lehava, which is led by veteran far-right activist Bentzi Gopstein, a close political ally of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and once a candidate on the electoral slate of Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party. Ben Gvir, who was once at the forefront of the extremist protests against the parade before gaining responsibility for the police force and for the march’s security arrangements this year, has rejected calls from the annual parade’s organizers for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sideline him from dealing with the event. The Pride event is slated to begin at 3 pm on June 1, and the march will set out at 5 pm. The protest against the march will be held at 3:30 pm.
