"Yishai Schlissel, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for that attack and was released from prison three weeks ago."
"The march has long been a source of tension between Jerusalem's secular majority and its Jewish Orthodox communities. Hundreds of police are deployed along the route to try to prevent violence breaking out."
"Ultra-Orthodox Jews have previously gathered in the city's Mea Shearim quarter to protest against homosexuality."
If I'm not wrong there is a large Orthodox community in Israel who clearly will not accept the LGBT community any time soon.
FYI, the twelve years/three weeks you refer to are for an attack in 2005, and I have no doubt he'll be punished more severly this time.
I'd sooner see someone serve ten years out of a ten year sentence for attacking people at a gay pride parade it be a captial offense, like Israel's lovely neighbours, or throwing them off buildings, like ISIS. Israel is the only part of the Middle East that it is even possible to have gay pride, let's be thankful for that.

I saw a documentary about orthodox Jews in Israel and they seem very vocal and making their feelings known. So in the long term can we expect further problems since they will never accept the LGBT community ?

What do you mean? There are orthodox jews who aren't against the LGBT community, definitely more than the amount of orthodox jews who attack people at gay pride parades.

This will be hard for some people to believe but there are homosexual Haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews and to say 'they' will never accept the LGBT community is a wild thing to say.

Good point made (well not point, but something anyway.)

This is why the death penalty should be used. Would you save 10 people who could be stabbed and killed by a repeat offender or be a good samaritan and free a dangerous killer.
