Israelis must stop the long-standing practice of spitting on Armenians

IN JERUSALEM RELIGIOUS JEWS SPIT ON ARMENIAN PRIESTS EVERY DAY: Clergymen in the Armenian Church in Jerusalem say they are victims of harassment, from senior cardinals to priesthood students; When they do complain, the police don't usually "find" the perpetrators. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men curse and spit at Christian clergymen in the streets of Jerusalem's Old City as a matter of routine. In most cases the clergymen ignore the attacks, but sometimes they strike back. Last week the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court quashed the indictment against an Armenian priesthood student who had punched the man who spat at him. Johannes Martarsian was walking in the Old City in May 2008 when an young ultra-Orthodox Jew spat at him. Maratersian punched the spitter in the face, making him bleed, and was charged for assault. But Judge Dov Pollock, who unexpectedly annulled the indictment, wrote in his verdict that "putting the defendant on trial for a single blow at a man who spat at his face, after suffering the degradation of being spat on for years while walking around in his church robes is a fundamental contravention of the principles of justice and decency."
