31. Gay population is more likely to commit suicide...
Deena   (06.14.12)
For comments like this, where they are rejected and not accepted. Next suicide not should be dedicated to her.
32. Ora I am 46 and happy here
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (06.14.12)
My parents and my husband's family have a great relationship with us both. Yes we are legally married. We also had a Rabbi marry us and have a ketubah. Our close friends are almost all over 40 they all have great family relationships and are also happy. The sad thing is we made it and we can all say it gets better. Teens who are already going through a lot may not realise that life does get better. People like MK Michael reinforce negative feelings teens experience and this encourages them to give up. It is wrong. It is sad. And it is bigotted. She needs an education as does anyone who supports the rubbish she spouted.
33. ygalg: She isn't religious
WQT   (06.14.12)
34. @33 she's a convert & she converted Orthodox....
(06.14.12)
so officially at least she's got to be religious
35. Typical over reaction by the politically correct..
Malone ,   Hfx   (06.14.12)
..her statement was not in the least homophobic.She simply made a statement about gays.Have we come to the point where we cannot mention certain words? If she had mentioned arabs instead, the racist word would be all over the place. Lighten up people.
36. I am gay and yes many of my friends and myself...
Lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (06.14.12)
were abused not at 3 as this rediculous women suggests but later. Suicide? Honey I think you have just committed it with your stupid stupid comments. As for glorifying gay lifestyle YES IT'S A BLAST but it burns out and many of us get lonely after our prime. BUT you see the exact same thing by straights as well, don't you.
37. Disgusting
Zev ,   USA   (06.14.12)
She is probablly projecting her own miserable life. She cant stand how some people can be happy in their skin while she is a backwards miserable pathetic human being. Suicide at 40? Where are these stats? 40 is young hot daddy age.
38. Breaking News
Sarah B   (06.14.12)
In order to remain in power Netanyahu has made Michaelis the first diplomat in Israeli history to be solely in charge of relations between the Lesbian Gay Transexual and bisexual world community
39. Let the countdown begin.
Li ,   USA   (06.14.12)
When a politician rattles on like that, it is only a matter of time before their gay sex video comes out.
40. #39
Zev ,   USA   (06.14.12)
Exactly! :o)
41. Be very, very careful Anastassia, this is the one subject...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.14.12)
that could push Obama over the edge and break diplomatic relations.
42. Disgusted mother
Mother ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (06.14.12)
I am the mother of a homosexual and he was not abused. I suggest that Michaeli returns to her Third World Mother Russia. We don't need bigots like her here.
43. #13 like very much like your comment
(06.14.12)
44. People, chill! American politicians say the same
Tahl   (06.14.12)
I'm pretty sure Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman and other Republicans have made fairly similar statements in the past regarding gays, and the American media didn't make such a big fuss over it. Who cares what they think, really? Why are Israelis so touchy?
45. Sad life for gays
Steve ,   Toronto   (06.15.12)
Maybe sex attraction is as natural as any other lust. So what? Why on earth are you all encouraging people to gratify such an obviously destructive lust? Do you imagine your gay child will look back at his life one day, childless and wearing a diaper for anal seepage and say "i'm really glad Mom encoureged me to just do what I feel like"
46. I wonder...
Naomi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.15.12)
what abuse this woman went through as she is completely off her rocker
47. Ignorant.
deborah ,   Irvine, CA US   (07.21.12)
"Jane you ignorant s--- " that was a famous saying on the Saturday Night live show here in America. I can't think of better words to describe this moronic member of the knesset. arent there bigger fish to fry than picking on gays.
