'The best proof that hope is possible': Jerusalem holds 23rd Pride Parade

This year's march marks a decade since the murder of teenager Shira Banki during the parade in 2015, again set against the somber backdrop of the war in Gaza. Shira's father, Uri, said 'Israeli society is full of good people, no matter their sexual orientation or the size of their kippa…there is room for everyone'

The Jerusalem Pride Parade is taking place for the 23rd year on Thursday, with marchers marking 10 years since the murder of teenager Shira Banki, who was stabbed while she participated in the parade. Survivors of the attack and members of her family are marching and will be speaking at the event.
