1. Parade
MGS ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.31.06)
Why does the fear of (arab) violence cause the police to institute a ban on Jewish activity, but the gay parade requires the police to increase their presence to prevent violence?
2. religious separation of sexes; closet homosexuals?
Avi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.31.06)
Life is so much easier for religious homosexuals; their society already keeps the sexes separate which makes things easier for the gay ones among them.
3. ask for hamas help
hanzalah naji ali ,   al shajara   (10.31.06)
put it in the deal of shalit prisoners exchange, that hamas will announce that there is a big terrorist operation will happen next friday, so karadai problem will be solved, the real problem is if there is any discrimination done by the police like the gay policemen may help the gays, also what the position of the religous gays, will they fight their parties.
4. Why Don't The Police Just Cancel It?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.31.06)
Why is it better to prepare for a bloody confrontation, then to simply avoid it all together? What are the police thinking?
5. This parade is an insult to G-D.
Kissel   (10.31.06)
6. It is also a slap in the face to Islam.
Kissel   (10.31.06)
7. Amona Redux, get your helmets
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.31.06)
They are announcing in advance that everyone who takes part in the anti-gay counter-protest should expect to get their skulls smashed by club-wielding kapos on horseback.
8. Stop Shofar blowing let gays march
claude ,   chicago and USA   (10.31.06)
The police arrest a Jew blowing the shofar for fear of upsetting Muslims but call out the police force to make sure that gays can march in Jerusalem even though it is offensive to Jerusalem and religious Jews. This is nuts!!!!
9. Arabs: Where Are Your Protests Now?
H ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
10. Millions of Protestors Planned ALL OVER ISRAEL
H ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
not only in Jerusalem.
11. can't wait to participte
shpongo ,   uuaaff, uuuaaaf   (10.31.06)
12. IS THIS WORTH A CIVIL WAR?
bill handel ,   brooklyn, USA   (10.31.06)
Has the Supreme Court gone completely crazy? At a time when Israel is surrounded by enemies who wish to annihilate us all, Dorit Beinisch decrees a major provocation against religious people in Jerusalem!
13. Gay marchers are peaceful; Counter demonstrators are not.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.31.06)
14. Parades
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (10.31.06)
The City of Jerusalem should sue the organizations and every identifiable individual on all sides for the cost between the commercial benefit to the city and the expenses to the city for this "happening." And just for good measure, sue the cows, donkeys and horses, too. They're owned by somebody.
15. IDIOTS ALLOWED THIS!!
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (10.31.06)
this is just another example of the stupidity of the government. the parade could have been disallowed a long time ago because in jerusalem it serves only to inflame religious violence.
16. Olmert would be represented there by his daughter :)
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.31.06)
17. Long live the gay movement of the world !! u can be both
american jewih gay ,   US   (10.31.06)
jewish and gay at the same time !! give the people their freedom to express themselves !!
18. Whats the position of the christian church of jerusalem!?
Peter ,   italy   (10.31.06)
Jesus entered into the temple and kicked the thieves out !? i wonder what hell do if he saw this parade in jerusalem without anyone of us his followers raising and preventing this
19. The Parade shows gays are also created in HaShem's image
Ari ,   Yerushaliem, Israel   (10.31.06)
Jews should stop hating fellow Jews and let HaShem be the Judge.
20. #4
Paul ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
Why don't you just cancel all people that think differently from you ?
21. PREVENT VIOLENCE ! Cancel Parade in HOLY Land
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.31.06)
22 Huge, hostile Arab countries and all the forces of global jihad are united against Israel. Israel is in great danger - surrounded by barbaric enemies who desire Israel's destruction and the murder of every Jew. The danger increases daily as the preparations for renewed war against Israel continue at a feverish pace from PA/PLO, Hamas, Hizbullah, Syria, Iran, et al. Instead of a parade flaunting sexuality - there should be a parade of multitudes of people crying out to G-D for the protection of tiny, embattled Israel and for the utter defeat of Israel's ruthless, barbaric enemies.
22. J POLICE needs a Doctor, WHY is this idiotic parade going on
JH   (10.31.06)
23. Religios intloerance
Paul ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
Have you ever stopped for 5 seconds to ask yourself why ?!? Because your so called religious bretheren are so hate filled for anyone that does not have a life style the same as theirs.
24. In the dark
jewish mother ,   jerusalem   (10.31.06)
Sorry, I still don't get it? Is this a parade celebrating the gay lifestyle? In which case, let's have a Vegan-Macrobiotic parade.Are you celebrating pride? yes? Ok, so anyone proud of their new car can have a parade. Is it celebrating a different way of having sex? Yes, OK, so lets invite peodophiles, rapists and S&m fans to parade. Sounds stupid? Of course, cos it is stupid. We know that gays have sex-I'm really happy for you. But why bring it out in the streets? Lots of people have sex (yes, even the Haredim), but we don't have to march it through the streets dressed as Bo-Peep or Mr.Condom. Have sex, do it any way you want, with whoever you want, just DON"T do it in the street!! What are you celebrating? Pissing people off? That you look good in pink feathers and G-string? Go home, and go do it in private. WE DON"T WANT TO KNOW.
25. #4PAUL
SMART ,   ISRAELL   (10.31.06)
YOUR COMMENTS ARE CHILDISH AT BEST.WHY SHOULD YOU CANCEL OTHER PEOPLES VIEW? THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE PARADING AN ABOMINABLE TRAIT AND PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT OUTLOOKS IN LIFE. IF I WERE TO SAY THERE IS A PARADE FOR ALL THE MEN WHO ARE PROUD THAT THEY RAPE WILL YOU TOLERATE THAT THEY'RE 'JUST DIFFERENT'?
26. idiots: just cancel parade !!!!!!!!!!!!!
no one wants it   (10.31.06)
27. #19 We do not hate gays idiot, we disagree with parade

Once again, the talkback section of Ynet brings together the crackpots, the haters, the intolerant and the illiterate. I hope visitors to this page are aware that the majority of Jews and Israelis aren't this backward and hate-filled. Their views just aren't reflected here, because they have better things to do with their time than rail on against everyone who disagrees with them on the Internet.
30. parade
charles ,   petach tikva   (10.31.06)
DO NOT CANCEL THIS !!! Why give in to so intolerant people , they think that only their way of life is OK . Where were they when Jerusalem was liberated in 67 ? Jerusalem is the capital of all the Israeli's , not only theirs . Let the gay people parade in Israel's capital . And do not mix gay with criminal pedophiles , gays are doing what they do with consenting ones . To the haridim : DO NOT SPRAY HATRED !!! be more tolerant , if you want to be tolerated .
