1. Hundreds demonstrate in Israel against Jerusalem Gay parade

Jerusalem - Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Israelis demonstrated in Jerusalem late Wednesday, burning garbage containers and throwing stones at police in protest against the annual Gay Parade planned in the city the next day, Israel Radio reported.

Hundreds more held similar protests in the ultra-Orthodox Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak.

Police arrested at least two of the protesters in Jerusalem and another two in Bnei Barak, the radio said.

The protests escalated after Israel's supreme court rejected a petition seeking to stop the march, due to be held Thursday in Jerusalem.
