'goyim too far' I.E. bigger goyim than the goyim which we all know they are, anyway.

What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. Whatever floats their boat. I don't need to know about it. Don't shove it down my throat.

More than 10 people , thus a mynian ? You will surely not attend , neither will i , because for you it's Shabbat desecration [ i for another reason ]. Nobody who is not interested has to go , nor people who are against it . If they enjoy it , why not .They are not harming anyone , they do it with adult consenting partners . Or is it better to stay frustrated as so many , religious or not , people are ?

We know that. If we continue to read it ,it's our problem, not theirs. Like me with a tv programme on Monday nights, gimmicks galore, bringing Gd knows who, as guests, purely in order to head the rating poll the next day. We choose not to watch it/him.

Kosher? The torah does indeed condem the wearing of clothing that pertains to the other sex. Israel poked the god of abraham in the eye with your gay parade, now you poke him in the other eye with this perversion. Israel will reap the punishment because of the evil that is done in her. When will the true jews rise up? And, Yes, those who only call themselves jews, but fail to worship the true god and follow his word will reap the wrath of god.

Esther...I wonder why all the other talkbacks that replied to mine agree with me, while u resort to offending my country...I would like to remind u that this article focuses on Israel n not Egypt! In the end..I'd like to thank everyone who agrees with me for having the balls to admit this problem there!

Can you imagine this level of democratic freedom in any of the other Middle East nations? Christians are deviants in Saudi Arabia and their books a crime to posess

We've returned here after 2,000 years of exile, exclusion, and oppression, capped by the long nightmare of the Shoa. Israel today, after over half a century, and despite surrounding enmity and aggression, has nevertheless flourished into a beautiful JEWISH state. And as even our Arab neighbor Kareem recognizes, our right to be here in the region is due to history and the Bible. As such, having pork shops, Gay parades, the Playboy & Hustler channels along with fetish conventions is not exactly a helpful way to remind ourselves and our neighbors what it is that has brought us back here after a very long and painful exile.

Are those gay parade , playboy channels and this fetishits happening going to destroy Israel ? Let them live , do'nt watch those channels [ you probably do it ] do'nt go to this happening [ probably religious , so Shabbat , otherwise you would maybe attend ] Let them live their life , they let others do it .

While I understand Emily wanted some privacy for attending members, it would be more constructive to have the event open to the public, or at least accessible. The benefit is both having people attend under the guise of being an "outside spectator" or for enlightenment of the general community. Let the public come in and see an accountant who likes to be spanked or housewife who likes dog collars and it gets demystified. A private "members only" event can also be helf, but this is an outreach opportunity for the fetish community.

for as outraged as some Talkbacks appear to be, there seems to be a large amount of energy (40+ comments) when I'd think a prudent person would change the channel or walk away. For as agitated as some are getting over what others do in there private lives, I'd think this story was not in Israel but in America, where the tradition of minding your own damn business was given up many, many years ago.

1) mynian ??? that's another good correlation. Also an infecion is declared "epidemic" once 10 people got it. 10 people is a generic for public in many aspects of life 2) WHY DO YOU ASSUME I WOULD NOT GO??? Because it's on Shabbat ? Not even on purim !, but again you spoke in my name 3) Did I mention anything against it in the previous Tb, that you gave an array of reasons to "proove" me ? The answer is not Nice try, but try to stick to the text I write please

I agree this is not what many Jews consider, 'A light unto the nations". However, Kareem should look deeper in Arab society. That stuff is there. What is that famous Arab phrase, about young male slaves...?

We returned because the Bible said this land belongs to us, and was given to us by G-d. Perhaps you charles, returned to the promised land to lick the heels of a lady or a man in a dog collar while he/she whips you. But a majority of us want this to be a decent, respectable country. If that does not suit you, feel free to find another place to live.

it's not that bad ... just a fetish convention ... easy people

Well Michael i did not know that those people behave in this way you describe in your tb , i had not your experience in this field . I am ignorant of this , you it seems not . This land belongs to us , HISTORICALLY , and that's why i made Alya . Israel IS a DECENT and RESPECTABLE country . Also a modern open one , without religious tabous . You and I have not to agree with the behaviour of some of Israel's citizens , but as long they do not ask or force you to behave in their way , let them live , you can even neglect them .
