Christians in Jerusalem are reporting more acts of vandalism and spitting. What are Israeli officials doing about it?
Brother Alberto Pari has been spat on and taunted as he walks on the streets in Jerusalem.
“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned,” youngsters have jeered.
When he first arrived in Jerusalem in 2007, he didn’t experience such behavior; but once he attained brotherhood after a year of study, he donned a traditional long black robe, which made him a visible target.
“It becomes clear you’re a religious monk” and as a result, also a target for random acts of violence, said Pari, the general secretary of the Custodian Terra Santa.
“It’s gotten worse in the last year,” he added, as he recounted that just a day earlier an Orthodox-looking Jewish boy spat at him as he ran by.
