Jerusalem Spitting Incidents Against Christians Prompt Rabbinic Debate and Conference

Reports from Jerusalem describe a growing number of incidents in which people spit on Christian clergy and churches in the Old City. The source describing these incidents says that most rabbis defend Christian clergy and churches against such acts.
The source does not provide details of specific incidents, such as dates, locations, individuals involved, or any charges or outcomes, so those cannot be reported here.
The article also reports on a special conference held on the subject. According to the source, insights from that conference suggest that the lasting solution lies in deeper processes rather than in responses to individual incidents, which reflects a commitment to peacemaking across communities (Romans 12:18). The source indicates that these insights were shared following the conference, and it does not describe the specific proposals discussed there.
