Israeli settler, far-right activist: ‘Spitting on Christians is a Jewish custom’

“The custom of spitting next to priests or churches is an ancient and long-standing Jewish custom,” wrote former spokesperson for Otzma Yehudit MK Son Har-Melech Elisha Yered in an X post on Tuesday night. 

This post came as a response to a video circulating online of Orthodox Jews spitting on Christians in Jerusalem’s Old City. 

He continued: “Perhaps under the influence of Western culture we have forgotten what Christianity is, but I think the millions of Jews who experienced the Crusades, the Inquisition, blood libel, and mass pogroms will never forget.”

Yered came under fire in August after he was arrested in connection with the death of a 19-year-old Palestinian man during riots in the village of Burka.

Amid Sukkot celebrations, Orthodox Jews spat on and shouted at a group of Christian pilgrims who were walking in Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday.

The pilgrims were carrying the four species of Sukkot when they were attacked. The incident, which sparked public outcry, occurred during the Feast of Tabernacles, a holiday that brings thousands of Christians to the Jewish State. 

Tour guide, author, and journalist Robby Berman corroborated Yered’s statement in an interview with Maariv. He said he had witnessed numerous embarrassing incidents involving Orthodox Jews who spat on or harassed Christian believers and tourists.

“My role is to prevent such acts,” he told Maariv. “Unfortunately, it happens regularly every day.”
