1. Dismantling Israel and building the SODOM AND GOMORAH instea
Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (05.19.06)
Values of the nation are cohesive force that keep nation together. Once when the common values are diluted there is nothing to hold that nation together. Are those values representative of where Israel is heading? Or are representative for why we were 2000 years wandering should we BE OR NOT TO BE ...?? Finaly Jews have the country where Jewish values should not be scorned, ridiculed, and criminalized Jews are no longer "just tourists" in foreign country it is Israel Jews finaly have RESPONSIBILITY to build the nation based on Jewish values not of "values" of SODOM and GOMORAH.
2. transgenders=transgressers!!!
Davis ,   Tel Aviv   (05.19.06)
Perversion is no lifestyle
3. Israel: civil war is inevitable within the next 20 years
the Guy from Nablus ,   Nablus, PA   (05.19.06)
What a nation of contradictions and extremism! Obviously no one, even hardcore Israelis, are able to contemplate the merits and future of this banarepublic state. Civil war is inevitable given the wide gap and contradictions between the many various societies within the so called "united" Israeli nation.
4. The Difference Between Us and Them
David ,   Tel Aviv   (05.19.06)
Nice to see that the only issue that united Jewish extremists and Muslims is hating gays. Mr. Nablus, I'm proud to live in a society that treats gays with dignity, respects the rights of women, and believes in the sancity of life. Even to the point--AND I HOPE LEFTISTS WHO HATE ISRAEL READ THIS--that gay Palestinian youth are allowed to live in Israel because they have been tortured, brutalized, and threatened with murder in the Palestinians territories. There is no similarity between you and us. Your Arab culture is still in the dark ages. And as for civil war: the Palestinians will have one long before we do.
5. BUt gays around the world support Hamas
Gary   (05.19.06)
funny that Israel is so tolerant of gays , but gays around the world march against Israel , and in solidarity with the Palestinians , Iran and Iraq who don't tolerate gays. so much for their gratitude to Israel's accomodation of them
6. poor people
ian ,   Lima. Peru   (05.19.06)
holy land home of gay people?, i voluntarely do as psychologist for all of them, there is no such thing as being homo, we all know is not a desease but a strong emotional disorder
7. Right, Guy from Nablus - Israel is united...
Andy   (05.19.06)
against your kind: hateful Arabs. i support the gay community - I wish I could have gone down to Eilat.
8. Israel Imitates the Nations
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.19.06)
Israel follows every perverse thing the world does religiously . They are eager to follow anything and anyone but their G-d. They follow the wicked ways and mark themselves for G-d judgment and destruction.
9. Gay in der erd

Fortunately these freaks don't reproduce.
10. THE FINGER OF G-D UNTO YOU!
linda rivera ,   N-Y   (05.19.06)
ISRAEL, LIGHT AMONG TNE NATIONS, DON'T STRAY AWAY FROM THE LAW OF G-D. HUS WRATH WILL BE TERRIBLE. ATONE!
11. dave... ts. ts. You hate Jews "extremists" and love sodomist
Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (05.19.06)
Dave you said that you missed a opportunity to be with "them" .. no dave don't worry you will shurelly share eternity with them. On Jewish "extremists" Dave could you elaborate..? Jewsh who hold that we should not negotiate with TERRORISTS? It is the LAW that was broken by "EXTREMISTS" which turned to colaboration with enemies against the JEWS dave .. Dave duty of the state is to protect its citizens and their properties and values that are representative of wast majority of Jews. Extreme dave are those 100 or so sodomist, I bet y'a you will find more necrophilacs, zoophiliacs, or nacrophiliacs in your "space ship" than in the rest of Israel. So be it!
12. Or Lagoyim?... Hardly.
Tahl ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
If these people would celebrate their pride in a dignified, respectful fashion, wearing full, normal clothes, without making out in public, without provocations, without making a visual assault on the residents of the towns hosting them, but instead, marching quietly and peacefully like for instance, the annual salute to Israel parade in Fifth Avenue - then I would support their cause. But I can't stand their shoving-it-down-our-throat parade style. This makes us hardly, hardly Or Lagoyim.
13. to Kyle
Kenny ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (05.20.06)
HMMMM, Kyle, MMMMAAYYBEEE kartman can give them some cheesypoofs??? ZZZZZZZZ Oh wait. thats the by product of their all night sessions ZZZZZZZZZ holy mother of sock!
14. Shameful Talkbacks...
Ian ,   Canada   (05.20.06)
The majority of you sound eeirly like another intolerant group of individuals...Perhaps you'd all prefer it if homosexual and transgendered people had to wear rainbow-coloured armbands? For a people who've been prosecuted tirelessly throughout history, you'd assume we'd have learned a lesson or two about acceptance. In response to the tired "why do they have to flaunt it" argument; Have you ever been approached by a gay or lesbian individual and asked that you stop showing affection to your heterosexual partner in a public place? These people have faced public derision, censure and violence for a long time, and if some of them feel like excercising their right to a particular lifestyle, who are you to condemn them for it?
15. Sorry you missed the TV show a month ago, there was a
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (05.20.06)
documentary about research on male gays. From what they said and you can choose to believe it or not, every male born after the first male has an additional 3% chance of living as a gay male. They said this was repeated in study after study and no researcher could explain why it was this way. They looked at children who at some point stated their attraction for other men and had no libido towards women. Each of them said that they knew it from the time they were little children. Some didn't want to disappoint their parents, some were afraid of others, there were many reasons for keeeping that part of their personality hidden. The Torah says that homosexuality is not permitted, yet these gay people continued to be born knowing from an early age that they were not attracted to females. I wonder what plan we don't understand HaShem has for this situation. Is it to test us to be kind to people who are different? Is it a test of their will? I don't think any of us know the underlying plan of WHY things are this way, I think it is a secret HaShem is keeping from us.
16. #10 Is NOT MY COMMENT. An IMPOSTER again.
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.20.06)
17. gay parade
Connie ,   USA   (05.19.06)
Maybe this is one reason why the land is being taken from you. God said if you didn't obey his laws, statutes and decrees the land would vomit you out.
18. Gay Israel is flourishing
Danny ,   Brighton, USA   (05.20.06)
It is estimated that 10% of the population is gay, this mean over 600,000 gay israelis or bisexual. Many of the brighest jews around the world are gays. Gays in israel are now claiming the ground from exteremism and it is a matter of time before we see gay PM, president , chief of staff and Hopefully Chief Rabbi. We must celebrate homosexuality as a normal way of life and as part of our jewish heritage.
19. to #3
dave ,   herzliya   (05.20.06)
sure, it's us on the verge of civil war.
20. Gay Pride
jrandal ,   Beverly Hills - USA   (05.20.06)
The fact that people are held captive to this condition of Sin is no surprise. Prideful and noisy, making a public display of such human folly - which thanks to the information age now has a worldwide platform. The origin of Sin and the Father of this human mutation of supposed normal behavior is quite Proud of His children. The outcome of your choice to follow after the pasions of the flesh won't be the as satisfying as you think, since your thinking is flawed! As for this continual thrist for such a socally indecent presnetation you persist in; Retrbution belongs to the Lord Jesus! What Christ accomplished for sinners is The Law of the Spirit of Life - this type of fallen human behavior has already been judged and the verdict is final. The outcome: Eternal seperation from the presence of God. Repent and follow Jesus into freedom and peace between God and oneself. jrandal
21. Gay pride!
Talula ,   Israel   (05.20.06)
What a bunch of homophobic cretins you all are here! I'm so glad Israel has a day for these people to express themselves. SING IF YOU'RE GLAD TO BE GAY, SING IF YOU'RE HAPPY THAT WAY! Good luck to them!
22. Homophobia dumbs down smart Jews: Ex1 Kyle (#9)
sk ,   USA   (05.20.06)
Notice how unfunny Kyle is in #9? I regularly read his comments, and his comments on gay topics are always pitiful: unfunny, not thoughtful, & dumb.
23. #5 (Gary): gays and Hamas
sk ,   USA   (05.20.06)
Gary, how do you know that gays around the world support Hamas? Anyway, gay ACTIVISTS are not typical of the average gay person. I'll tell you, though, that if you are building a political coalition against your enemies, and if you know perfectly well that the haredim are your main enemies, and if you know that the natural enemies fo the haredim are the Meretz Left and the Arabs, it's pretty clear who your coalition partners will be. Incidentally, as far as I know, there is a not a single gay bar in Jerusalem (which means there may be one or two hidden ones). It is not Israel that is so tolerant of gays, but one major Israeli city, Tel Aviv.
24. Gays support Hamas....???!!!
Judith K. Bogdanove ,   Friendship, U.S.   (05.20.06)
Nonsense! The gays I know have quite enough trouble working, playing, having families and paying the bills in a society that is at best polite, and at worst abusive, to march en masse for any kind of rights-denying group such as Hamas. This is plain unvarnished bigotry.
25. Gay in der erd
Judith K. Bogdanove ,   Friendship, U.S.   (05.20.06)
(Fortunately these freaks don't reproduce) Bigotry is freaky. Calling your fellow citizens, who pay taxes just like you do, freaky is unbelievably freaky in America.
26. Gay Israel is Flourishing
Judith K. Bogdanove ,   Friendship, U.S.   (05.20.06)
(We must celebrate homosexuality as a normal way of life and as part of our jewish heritage. ) As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be -- AMEN to that! (from a happy heterosexual, unafraid to be part of a diverse universe)
27. #26-Normal?
jrandal ,   USA   (05.21.06)
you said: celebrate homosexuality as a normal way of life. There is not one gay couple on the planet earth that has brought in to this life a human baby in the normal way, and we all know What;s normal. That means you are the product of a normal phisical joining between a man and a woman - The normal healthy way to grow up a sociity. Face your non-reproductive position, and get a real life with real emotional and mental, social benifits! Your poor choice and abnormal way of life is a burden to all. jrandal
28. jrandal (#20, 27), the tautologizing missionary
sk ,   USA   (05.21.06)
jrandal, why do you believe that a bunch of Jews are interested in being converted to Christianity? Your comment "Repent and follow Jesus into freedom and peace between God and oneself" is about as appropriate here as picking your nose at the dinner table. As for your tautologizing, in #27 you define "normal" as being able to have babies via sexual intercourse, and then point out that gay couples therefore cannot be "normal." You clown, this is true only because of your definition of "normality." But really, your inability to reason is secondary. It's your objectional missionary work that show your own moral rot. Repent! Get lost!
29. #28-sk
(05.24.06)
Answer to your first question: If only one listens, is that one You? There is only one name by which men can be saved. Acts 4:12 SK - The Word will never be proven to be in error, only incarnate in the person, and Son of God - Jesus the Christ. The rest of your railing takes me to your last thought - Repent you SK, are truly lost!
30. #28 - SK - Sticks and Stones
Jrandal ,   USA   (05.24.06)
SK the answer to your first question. There is NO Other Name by which a man can be saved - Acts 4:12 If only one man or woman listens!!! Are you the One SK? The Word of God will never be proven wrong, only Incarnate as the Living Son of God, Jesus Christ. Over the ages so many sticks have peireced and stones have crush the flesh of men carrying the Good News to the Jews and the Gentiles. The words of opposition are rendered lifeless and are already judged. Without Authority The results are so consistant. That takes me to your last thought - Repent SK, for you are truly lost. The Master is waiting for you SK, can you hear His voice - Invite Jesus into your heart and beleive. He sheed his lifes blood for you
