Pin[chas] a medal on him!
2. Take him to the Talibans where he belongs

3. awwww just leave these people alone
Shalom ,   Nachlaot   (07.24.12)
Rabbi Sreinman said that the more the Egyptians hit the frogs the more they multiplied and the more noise they made, if we ignore them they will stop trying to seek attention, we have bigger problems to spend our energies on. If this baseball bat guy has so much spare time let him go after the child molesters they are a bigger problem
4. #3 Homophobia Kills
Haim ,   TA   (07.24.12)
Your ignorance is amazing. Get real one in ten people are gay, yep even the guy standing next to you in Shaul. Homophobic ranting such as yours has repercussions, maybe two young people murdered in cold blood in the tel aviv youth center 2 years ago is not enough to satsify your lust.
5. #4, your reaction to #3 is pathetic.
Moshe B. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.12)
Not one word of what you wrote addresses the content of #3 post. Put a little more effort into it next time.
6. the Jewish taliban
twice blessed   (07.24.12)
is alive and well. Full rights to gay and lesbian Jews !
7. Haim Tel Aviv
David ,   Haifa Israel   (07.24.12)
What is a Shaul? Where is Shaul? Anyhow.... another one of your genious anti Israel comments from a left wing draft dodging tool
8. #4 Haim what nonsense!
Abe   (07.24.12)
10% perhaps among your friends but certainly not among religious Jews.
9. When I clicked, I thought this was a big story...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.12)
... but it turns out it wasn't a homophobe; just an old dude. What do you expect from the elderly? They hate everyone.
10. #8 Homosexuality
Ehud ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (07.24.12)
Statistically the same number in all communities, but your lot stay more in the cupboard because of the harsh attitude of the religious to homosexuality. Get used to it , homosexuals are entitled to live and enjoy their lives just like anybody else.
11. #7 it's because people of your kind
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (07.24.12)
That Israel has an ugly face today. No wonder the world has enough to wait for you. Get real ! It's 21st century
12. Abe #8
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (07.24.12)
You sound like Ahmedinijad claiming there are no gays in Iran. If i could get a dollar for every time i've seen a religious Jew in (gay) places where they shoudn't be, i'd be a rich man...you are very naive to think that all gay men are obvious to the eye.
13. Why...
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Kanada   (07.24.12)
doesn't he get out of the closet instead hurting gays ?
14. Baseball Bat Guy
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (07.25.12)
I am gay and not at all surprised that there are still those who hate us for simply existing on "their" planet. We serve in the military, tend the sick, teach, raise kids and try to make a life for ourselves just like anyone else. This man is a danger to others and needs to be restrained if not diagnosed and helped. Too many of my gay brothers and sisters have died at the hands of just such a vile, angry individual to let it pass as a prank or something that can ever be justified.
15. boo hoo a guy yelled at the gays
jack bauer   (07.25.12)
what on earth are they doing provoking in Jerusalem. They should keep their provoking in TA where they come from
16. #15
Charles Mays ,   French Hill, Israel   (07.25.12)
They man threatened to kill them! There is also a video on Youtube to document the incident. Baruch HaShem nobody was hurt. I am praying everyday that people will open their eyes and practice the real Judaism which places Love, Acceptance and Justice above all! Shame on you people cursing the LGBT community. I am a Proud Jew who is Gay, and i will continue to fight to make sure we are visible and treated with RESPECT. Kol Tov

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.26.12)
Jerusalem is the capital of ALL Israelis , Gays included . This week a Gay man was murdered with a hammer in Liege , Belgium [ TV5 news ]
18. 17 Charles Jerusalem s statut ..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.26.12)
of Holy City is a few thousand years older ,than that of capital,and should be respected.
19. Ora , Stones are NOT holy
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.27.12)
Jerusalem was always the capital of ALL the Jews , now ALL Israelis . Stones are only the witnesses of our history , the history of the Jewish people , the whole of them , seculars and Gays too . They at least did fight to liberate her . Have a good fast , some should fast from one tisha beav to another [ not the fine Israelis ]
