Yair   (11.16.05)
The israeli courts are more and more politically correct...the People is against them
2. To number 1:
Eli   (11.16.05)
Who gives you the right to say which people qualify as a family and which don't?? I'm glad we're through being primitive and controlling! Good for them! Way to go!
3. So glad when I can be proud of Israel...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.05)

5. Hate of lesbians came after the Torah
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.05)
In the Talmud, I think. Nashim Solalot and all that.
6. Dorothy, no....not correct....
(11.16.05)
Both the Torah and the Talmud condemn male homosexuality via their condemnation of sodomy. But there isn't a single word of condemnation against lesbianism!
7. U Tell'em #3
randyTexas ,   Tx   (11.16.05)
....yeah really show that Bush and those evangelicals by passing laws allowing sex with children and animals your parents and anything else that has or had breath. That will really show them! after all right and wrong is whatever we say it is, right?...or is that wrong?
8. Then what do you use?
(11.16.05)

10. To Yair
NYC Girl   (11.16.05)
What exactly are "normal" parents? We all know there are more than enough dysfunctional heterosexual parents. In fact, where I used to live, we had a Congressman and he and his partner had five adopted children who, from all accounts, were a lot more well-adjusted than many of the children of heterosexual couples. This ruling is a step in the right direction because these children will have two loving parents, regardless of what their sexual orientation might be.
11. To 2,3/4, 10
(11.16.05)
What do you think will go through that child's mind when she sees other girls and the special, affectionate relationships that they have with their fathers? Why isn't she allowed to have that? You couldn't imagine the pain and the emptyness that the little girl will have inside. And that's not to mention the humiliation. I could see it now: she's coming home crying because all of the kids at school were laughing at her for having two mummies!!! This is an example of a twisted and backward morality; where innocent young babies' lives are destroyed in order to please the feelings of people who suffer from a newly chic psychological disorder.
12. I wonder if they need a man to move in ;)

13. HA HAHA
Matt ,   Watertown, USA   (11.17.05)
To #3: Sorry, but the converse is true. What's next, kids having four mothers? How about corporations adopting children?
14. Better two lesbian parents than two terrorist parents.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (11.17.05)
The child will live longer with two lesbians teaching him the value of life than two "palestinian" terrorist parents teaching him how to properly strap on a suicide bomb.
15. #13 + #14
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.17.05)
There was a cartoon a couple of years back in Haaretz where a little boy was telling a soldier, just after we got our butts out of Lebanon that he has two mothers, and the smiling soldier replied that he ahs four (the four mothers group) And better two mothers who raise their child in a relatively safe place, than deliberately look for danger based on religious and political beliefs!
16. you can thank Judge Osnat Laufer for this
pnina leor ,   meitar   (11.17.05)
BTW, thanks to this Judge who resigned, The Honourable Osnat... this was possible. she set the precedent case in 2003 for gay adoptions. God Bless Osnat and good luck in your future. you served well on the bench
