1. PEOPLE ARE FED UP OF GAYS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (12.28.13)
ENOUGH .
2. #1 People are fed
Daniel   (12.28.13)
And it's you we're fed up with. Take your hate and leave Israel.
3. #2 NO NEED FOR ME TO LEAVE
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (12.28.13)
But gays would be happier living in San Francisco rather than in Israel ,the Holy Land.
4. The Torah warns us about "men without stones" & to be wary
Moshe ,   Usa   (12.28.13)
about them. It also states that a man can not lie down with another man. Gay/les are rarely that way due to genetics. Most often they accede to this because they are afraid to approach the opposite sex, or had unrewarding experiences with the opposite sex & modern liberal society makes joining up with gays/les more acceptable. But gays/les is antithetical to the needs of a healthy society, especially in Israel where we rely on increasing our Jewish numbers. And gays/les are more likely to act morally & ethically unreliable in business. Successful employers hire based on character & this leaves gays/les stranded. Writing on their residence is inappropriate. . .ignoring them is more better.
5. i have a gay neighbor
JL   (12.28.13)
everyone likes him where we live..he does not try to ram his lifestyle down anyones throat...and so he is fully accepted by everyone in a tough neighborhood
6. fed up is just ignorant
lesbian in tel aviv ,   tel aviv   (12.28.13)
#1 - i am a lesbian but this is only a small part of my identity, I am also jewish and zionist which has a much larger effect on my life that my life partners gender. #4 - maybe read some science as well as torah before making a chilul hashem. start by reading the book gay, straight and the reason why by simon lavay.
7. #1 and #4: The Jewish Taliban.
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (12.28.13)
#1 and #4. You represent the Jewish Taliban. Preaching "hatred" and "dehumanising" other human beings is a "sin." You are primitive haters. Fortunately the civilised world is gradually changing. More than likely there are even gays in your family. Hopefully your children will be gay. And your grandchildren.
8. @6 we had old neighbor who lived out her mind
Miron ,   USA   (12.28.13)
so, she wondered streets and when she felt that people may be noticing her she would lift skirt and yell "I know what you want to see". It doesn't do any good to anyone that people like you give community fame as someone who can't keep it in their pants.
9. #5 JL - The problem with your reasoning ...
Devorah   (12.28.13)
is that, because a gay person doesn't beat you over the head with his or her lifestyle, you feel that person's behaviour is commendable. Excuse me? But who has the right to jam their sexual persuasion down anyone's throats for any reason? And #6, you're in no position to be admonishing anyone re Chillul Hashem.
10. SO FIGHT BACK NEXT TIME
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.28.13)
Hit the vandals with your handbags....ha ha ha .
11. WHAT SEEMS ONVIOUS :
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (12.28.13)
Maybe , just maybe ,if homosexual people were more discreet ,and lived their lives quietly without seeking constant acceptance ,approval and a pat on the back from others, attacks against them would be much rarer and unusual .
12.  CHILUL HASHEM
THE URBAN RABBI ,   SAFED   (12.28.13)
"And a man shall not lie with a man like a man lies with a woman ."
13. GAY MARRIAGE : A RAP
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (12.28.13)
Yo ,simply be discreet ,,when yo walk down da street ,don't display too much meat ,when yo dance to da beat ,just stand the heat , in the Holy Lands. don't publicly hold hands , accept the yoke ,don't provoke other folk , when yo hit da sack ,don't expect no pat-on-yo-back , universal acceptance yo will lack ,if yo get my tack ,cause whatever yo believe it was Adam and Eve ,not Adam and Steve .
14.  VANDALISM IS NOT THE SOLUTION
CAPTAIN REALISTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.28.13)
I find this sort of vandalism and attack both ugly and regrettable. However , homosexuals ,call them Gays if you prefer .should understand that there will always be people who object to their lifestyles .
15. #1
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (12.28.13)
Personally, i'm fed up with bigots like YOU….Move to Iran…then you can cheer as they stone the homosexuals.
16. #15 IRAN ? NO THANKS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (12.28.13)
I would gladly cheer if homos get stoned.
17. So they are Gay. But what about the Rabbi who raped a boy?
Jim Yakamoto ,   Israel   (12.28.13)
What about the former President, Religious, who is in jail for sexual assault? What about "Thou shalt not commit adultery", oh you heterosexual (maybe) bigots? What about 12 to 14 year olds who raped a a 12 year old and their parents have the gall to say that she wanted it? They aren't Gay! I think the homophobes, some of who are gays to scared to come out, should get their filthy house in order before they condemn people who did no harm just like those in a certain European country in the 1930's and 1940's. After all, you religious bigots, GOD created us all, man, woman, gay, straight, bi and even YOU! Now you must answer to HIM for criticizing HIS "creation"/ You do believe in the Jewish Book of Fairy Tales, don't you?
18. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.28.13)
They can renovate their house with a beautiful colour scheme....ha ha ha
19. RELIGIOUS? AMEN ,OR AAH.....MEN
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.28.13)
20. #17 - "Jim Yakamoto"
Devorah   (12.28.13)
You know what? You write just like Tom from TA.
21. #17 CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (12.28.13)
" Two wrongs no make one right ."
22. 20.
Birdi ,   Israel   (12.28.13)
Lol, you're right, Devorah.
23. #13 - DA RAP ARTIST
Devorah   (12.28.13)
Yo good rap my dear But the words were kinda queer Still, it's music to my ear To my eye it brought a tear So you oughtta do a promo Of your rap about the homo Do a video with slo-mo Make it look just like Sodomo
