JERUSALEM, : Participants hold up the multi-coloured Gay Pride flags and the Israeli flag during a rally at the Hebrew University's Givat Ram stadium in Jerusalem, 10 November 2006. Some 2,000 participants arrived at the stadium for the rally and were out numbered by 3,000 police officers. Other officers were deployed in central Jerusalem amid a heightened security alert to prevent possible protests against the event, which has been the cause of near daily violent clashes between police and members of the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community.
