1. Is it time for that again?
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.24.07)
I think, the gay pride parade should be along the Gaza Strip border. Maybe it would make some of the guys on the other side lay off the poor donkeys and apply for Israeli citizenship. If not that, it should drive the rest of them stark-raving nuts.
2. Yes, M., (1), it's that time again ...
sk ,   USA   (05.24.07)
Last year it kept being postponed. This year, I am avoiding Israeli press for the whole month, because last time I was so disgusted by the homohatred here that it took me months to recover.
3. To #2
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.25.07)
Aw, you shouldn't let anybody control your mood like that; especially over something that nobody can change. People killing each other for no reason is something over which to get bent out of shape. Gay or straight is not. Like it or lump it, some of us are born female, some of us male, some of us straight and some of us gay. Welcome to planet earth.
4. PARADE
CARL SHOWALTER ,   CARDINGTON, U.S.A.   (05.25.07)
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE FILTH AND GIVE THEM THEIR PARADE THEY ARE A GREATER DANGER TO ALL SOCIETY THAN THE RELIGIOUS FANATICS.
5. Homophobia?
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (05.25.07)
There is no such thing as homophobia. The emotion that is ignited when the subject of sodomites comes up is, wait for it, disgust. After all, who would be afraid(phobia) of a flock of faries? There is no wonder that sodomites are having some feeling of rejection, they are rejected. And when I lay my head down in green pastures and beside still waters, the sodomites will be barred at the border.
6. Pervert Parade vs National Security
Brod ,   USA   (05.25.07)
What are they thinking? They should be getting ready to defend their country from enemy attacks instead of thinking of and parading their perversion.
7. Really? Again?...
NC ,   Canada   (05.25.07)
8. #2 SK..... We are still here....need Aspirin?
James ,   Toledo Ohio USA   (05.25.07)
HI Sk. It's probably going to get real ugly. Jerusalem is not the place for flaunting of the flesh in the face of God. He might get mad and let something worse than aids strike the homosexual community. Maybe a righteous hand of retribution and wrath. Just my opinion. Its good to see that your still hanging out SK.
9. Just let them march!
David ,   Norway   (05.25.07)
Not matter what you think of it, making so much uproar about it is just a waste of energy. Let them march, and for those who don't like it, stay home!
10. Lets riot again...J'lem is Holy..keep oout the parade. end
(05.25.07)
11. WHY NOT IMITATE THE ROMANS AND PARADE NAKED
THE PEOPLE'S VOICE   (05.25.07)
- IS THE ISRAELI POLICE SO INSENSITIVE TO THE OFFENCE IT WILL CAUSE. THE SUPREME COURT HAS NO RESPECT FOR JUDAISM OR NATIONALIST VIEWPOINTS BUT BENDS OVER BACKWARDS TO ACCOMODATE SUCH DESECRATION IN THE HOLY CITY. IT IS TIME WE RECOGNISED THE GOVERMENT, COURTS AND POLICE NEW CLOTHES - THEY ARE NAKED POLITICALLY AND MORALLY
12. M (3)
sk ,   USA   (05.25.07)
Huh? I'm both gay and pro-gay. My point is that this issue brings out the evil in the Right to such an extent that I become physically ill, as, of course, I am a right-winger myself. I am forced to say nice things about the Left, which also makes me ill. So, I prefer to sit this round out. The censors will print anything, however vile, even when it clearly conflicts with TB rules regarding inappropriate language. I think they just like to see the fireworks.
13. To assorted homohaters, both Jewish and Goy:
sk ,   USA   (05.25.07)
I'll be moving to Israel in about 1.5 years, where I'll dedicate 4/5 of my time to those blasted "Palestinians" and wresting political power from the Left, and 1/5 of my time dealing with YOU. Regarding the latter, I think the first order of business will be a major outing campaign focusing on the Haredim. However, as these TBs tend to stay around forever, why don't you benefit yourselves by reading the extensive material in the TBs written last year? You can read my TBs of that last year and pretend that I've ridiculed you THIS year. I will supply the link for last year from the Ynet main news page. Why reinvent the wheel, after all? Also, as I am a very helpful fellow, the first link goes to a page last year where I categorized a series of STUPID ARGUMENTS. I suggest that if you can find yours in the list, you might want to think twice about posting. You will also find my comments to Brod, who seems unable to learn anything. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3294083,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-4424,00.html
14. pride parade
Miguel ,   toronto   (05.25.07)
I feel sorry for those that are afflicted by their own lust of the flesh..they do not know what they do...God stressed this to be a abomination in the old testament and in the new testament. We should pray for them so that their eyes may be opened..Once you deny god, you let in seducing spirits which cause dishonor to yourselves.
15. Homosexuals parade of depravity
Heatherross ,   USA   (05.25.07)
Hey, why don't the "gays" go to see the PA's and parade before Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah in W. Bank, I am sure they would present their perspective of your parade. No wonder Israel is in trouble!
16. pride is a bad thing
(05.25.07)
gay is a desease and can be cured. if you're gay, go see a doctor, he'll give you medicine and you should be good within no time, you sick f***!
17. Born that way?
Asa ,   W-s, NC USA   (05.25.07)
Born that way? There is no scientific proof for that. None. All such data is flawed and has been shown to be nothing more than wishful hypothasing. All who live such a lifestyle are shaking their fists in the face of G-d and openly defying His institution of marriage and family. Nations are judged for allowing such abomination to grow within their borders. America is under G-d's judgment already for such, as well as innocent blood (50-70 million abortions since 1972) which the Lord will not forgive.
18. To #17
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.25.07)
Well, there are, still, people out there, who believe that the earth is flat. But since you only believe in things for which there is scientific proof, maybe you can direct me to the definitive proof for god. Although my belief in god is based on faith, I'm sure you can furnish me with a scientific formula for god. Please, nothing flawed or iffy. Btw, is god male or female? Do you, honestly, believe that people get up one morning and decide to be gay? Why? Because it makes their lives so much easier??? Benjamin Tutu, an Anglican Archbishop said it quite well: “if this sexual orientation were indeed a matter of personal choice, the homosexual persons must be the craziest coots around to choose a way of life that exposes them to so much hostility, discrimination, loss, and suffering.” As for personal experience, I have identical twin nephews one of which is gay and the other one straight. Their oldest sister is gay, too. But then there are two more sisters and a brother, and those three are straight. Since their father was, basically, a macho, fire and brimstone Baptist, my sister-in-law and those poor kids - the gay ones, because they were gay, the mom and the straight ones, because they knew about the gay ones - had to live lies until he died. Yeah, boy, let's do get up and be gay!!! Oh, here's the URL whence I got the archbishop's quote: http://www.geocities.com/southbeach/boardwalk/7151/biobasis.html
19. Gay Parade
Dwayne ,   U.S.   (05.25.07)
Remember Sodom & Gomorrah.....
20. American Gay Persecution / Haters
Laila ,   Montreal,Canada   (05.25.07)
The most despicable hateful anti gay comments are posted by Americans,in general. The USA abuses their human rights.The most intolerant are the very religious.
21. Gay Parade
Concerned ,   USA   (05.25.07)
Sodom and Gomorrah is right down the road a bit. Right down by the Dead Sea, full of brimstone and ashes.
22. Earthquake
Mary Roberts ,   USA   (05.25.07)
What will people do if the sodomites try to march to the Temple Mount?
23. I FEEL VERY SURE ISRAEL WILL SUFFER FROM GD SEVERLY
DAVIDS CITY LAUGHIN ,   AT 'GD OF ISRAEL....   (05.25.07)
24. THE NEXT EXIL FOR THE JEWS IS COMEING.
MIKE HAMEN ,   TX,USA   (05.25.07)
AND DON'T ASK WHY.
25. I love when the insecure bigoted talkbackers come out.
Joshua   (05.25.07)
26. About Sodom and Gemorrah...
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.25.07)
If you actually read the Bible, it is not implied anywhere that the people of Sodom engaged in sodomy.
27. Time will tell.. God is watching
Rick ,   Open Range, USA   (05.25.07)
Jewish people encourage me to read the Torah. Why? If you are not going to follow it, why tell others they should?? Or, am I missing something here? Is there a book, chapter and verse in the Law of Moses that says it's lawful for man to lie with man? Woman with woman? Do me a favor, skip the insults and just tell me were to read up on it in the Law of Moses, okay? Thank you.
28. History repeats itself
Caesar ,   Fontana, CA   (05.25.07)
Under the masquerade of "equality and civil rights for all," Israel authorities and religious leaders are mocking God and his Law. Allowing homosexuals marching in Jerusalem is an open challenge to the Holiness of God. Judgement is coming soon to Israel and USA because Yahweh God cannot be trashed.
29. Sodomite Parade
Cammie ,   Dallas USA   (05.25.07)
G-d put you there, gave you the land. You're polluting it. You have a death wish, and per lessons of the past, you will lose it. Forget G-d, He'll forget you.
30. i'm sure god is gay
ilan ,   ramat gan   (05.25.07)
who's to say god himself is not gay? he probably is considering his absolute tolerance for homosexuality (umm yeah homosexuality has been around for thousands of years and isn't going anywhere anytime soon and yet the world keeps on spinning). As long as the world keeps on spinning, the gays will keep on gaying knowing it's fine with god himself. any problems with that? live on another planet, one in which you can mold every person to be just like you!
