The formidable snowball effect of the pride parade controversy reached the normally sedate Tel Aviv Sheinkin area early Thursday morning. An unidentified group of people smashed in the window panes of the Geulat Yisrael synagogue and sprayed graffiti on the wall warning the temple-goers that "If we don't march in Jerusalem - you won't walk in Tel Aviv."

Reports of anonymous persons hurling rocks at the synagogue starting coming in at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, police from the Yarkon district arrived at the scene and have opened an investigation into the incident. Searches are being conducted in the area for the vandals, who left behind considerable damage but no casualties. See: Synagogue vandalized as gay parade controversy picks up steam - News ...
