I as a christian have been spat apon by an ultra Orthodox type. They get pretty radical over there. Nice to see that the Jewish courts sided with the christian isn’t it?

Most Jews are very respectful of anyone of faith. Indeed the court findings prove that. Not bad for a people with a history of having their great great grandmas burned at the stake for remaining Jews rather than convert to Catholics.

More like being put on the spit, rather than the spit being put on you.

Read some history. The Inquisition, if that is what you are referring to, was not used to force conversion upon the Jews. Indeed, Jews, as Jews, did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition. The only Jews that would fall under its jurisdiction were those professed Christians charged by the Spanish Inquisition with false conversion. And here the concern was more with Jews pretending to be Christians in order to undermine the Christian state, not as a means to convert them. Not that they enjoy equal rights under Catholic Spain but until their expulsion by Queen Isabella professed Jews were exempt from the Inquisition and were not threatened with "convert or die."

Israeli courts are Jewish only ethnically. Like in the US, they are radically secular. A genuine Halakhic court would have handed down a decision you probably wouldn't like.
