Pride parade stabbing victim laid to rest
Shira Banki, the 16-year-old fatally stabbed in Thursday’s attack at the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade, is laid to rest in Kibbutz Nachshon in central Israel.
Banki succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, three days after she was stabbed by ultra-Orthodox Israeli Yishai Schlissel.
Eulogizing her, Shira’s parents say that they bear no ill will toward those who choose to sport a skullcap or beard, and only have a fight with intolerance, hatred and those who seek personal gain at the expense of the pain of others.
