Jewish man filmed apparently trying to urinate on Jerusalem monastery frequently targeted by spitters

A Jewish man was filmed on Monday apparently trying to urinate on the outer wall of the St. James Monastery in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City.

Security camera footage shows a security guard at the monastery rushing to stop the man and directing him to leave the area.

“We are getting tired of this. Our home is becoming unrecognizable. Every day there is another incident, each more vile than the last.
We are not a toilet. Our dignity is constantly undermined. Enough. Stop.” 301 correspondent Kegham Balian wrote on X.

The monastery has been frequently targeted by Jewish extremists who spit in its direction as they walk by.

Hours before the incident at St. James, an Orthodox Jewish man was filmed spitting on the ground as he walked by Christian pilgrims at the nearby Armenian Catholic Church of Our Lady of Sorrows.
