31. Not one word
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.16.06)
This article is about a MUSLIM PALESTINIAN TERRORIST who advocates murder of homosexuals. That seems to have escaped the attention of everyone who is busy attacking the Orthodox population of Jerusalem which is not welcoming the "World Pride" with flowers and candy.
32. #21 You as a "Orthodox" Jew should know better
(06.16.06)
That Hashem made the Torah and his laws is Hashem's laws, and it says that practising Gay acts is prohibited. As an Orthodox/Religous Jew you must understand that the Torah is law and you have to hide your feelings of that abomination, and act accordingly to his commands not yours. You have created G-d in your own image, just understand this, you can be gay but by no means should you act on it. Hashem created evil and blocks in our way so we could learn to silence them and to destroy them. He created Amalek, but look what we were commanded to do to them. Stop making a koombaya Judaism, its not Judaism but Arism or whatever you want to call it but its not Judaism. You should know better, you have made the Torah into a menu, taking what you like and disregaring the rest. But know this, Hashem sees what you are doing.
33. To Ari, #21: Thanks for speaking up
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (06.16.06)
A breath of fresh air. Finally, words from someone I have been waiting to hear from - a religious person who also happens to be gay. I suspect that you did not choose homosexuality, but that it was chosen for you, no? Please elaborate, if you can on the limitations. I am not sure what you meant. I am sure that there are plenty of homosexuals who are religious and I am curious as to their outlook on life, both in terms of lifestyle, practice, etc. And I apologize on behalf of all of the poor ignorant souls, who simply don't know better. Let us pray that they become more enlightened, and then perhaps more understanding, in time. I cannot, unfortunately, apologize on behalf of animals like Qaradawi, as I am sure they do not even possess a conscience. I just pray that they go to the place to which they belong swiftly.
34. Muslim Clerics
Richard R. ,   Los Angeles, USA   (06.16.06)
The pitiful attacks by this imbecile on people who are not like him is abominable. I love women, but I tolerate all other groups of people. It appears that the real perverts are many muslim clerics who preach death, destruction, and ugliness. What business is it of any Muslim cleric, or for that matter, anyone else, what people do in their private lives. What disgusting people these hate-filled individuals are.
35. Jews and Muslims - unite!!
Ragusa   (06.16.06)
Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak: Jews whose souls have been saved and have chosen God’s path will hold a ‘Modesty march’ (in Jerusalem) of incredible proportions. Its very occurrence will denunciate the abomination and defilement, will vomit out its participants from among us and will set fire to their infection. Great - finally a chance of Jews and Muslims joining hand in harmony and tolerance (OK - harmony then) during the anti-gay campaign.
36. @ # 19: Language, my dear, language
Ragusa   (06.16.06)
Michelle to R. Cohn: "Wait a minute you anti-Semitic jerk. Jews can do whatever the hell they like in their own land." Gay jews excepted of course - because it is not their land. Maybe God made a mistake not defining clearly what jews are worthy and who's not.
37. Qaradawi and Ken Livingstone
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.16.06)
Livingstone's support of Qaradawi has been commented on frequently in Britain, because Livingstone is supposed to be a friend to the gay community. However, Livingstone's love of Islamofascism is his overmastering motivation. Remember, he claims to be a great anti-racism campaigner, but I'm sure we all have a different opinion on that.
38. wow!
Ken ,   US   (06.17.06)
Who knew that Islamic fanatics and Jewish fanatics would finally agree on something. Let me be the first to congratulate you on seeing eye to eye on this issue. I wake every morning and read this paper, in the hopes that nothing bad has befallen the wonderful country of Israel. I love this country, have visited many times and love your people. Tomorrow, I will wake and will read the paper, hoping nothing bad has befallen your country, even if some of you would not dream of doing the same for this gay goy. Peace to all of those in my second home, even those that hate me.
39. Jew vs Gay
Allan ,   Delray Beach, FLA   (06.17.06)
As Rodney King once said: "Can't we all just get along"?
40. #10 What do you mean by that?
SABIENTJE ,   Weston   (06.17.06)
Please explain.

43. sodomite parade
ed ,   torrington,wy   (06.17.06)
Just one more thing that shows that the rapture is getting closer. I pray God does'nt put up with this much longer.
44. Reuven
pierre ,   belgique   (06.17.06)
You should be ashamed of your self.and may G-D have PITY on you.Homosexuality is not a sickness or a choice,Are you just plain stupid,or just a soul with no sense of tolerance.Just because you are "Hetero" if you are??does that mean that you are part of the "Normal" part of society,?Being Gay,does not mean that that person is sick ,or needs psychiatric treatment.and Medication,???Man what planet do you live on??You are so blinded by your religious views,you are as bad as those Mollahs,and depraved extremists,,and racists,that live amoung us.It is you that needs psych,treatment,for your lack of intolerance.There are more sexual abuses by "Hetero" people,more Wife rapes,and violence,committed, than by Two people of the same sex.And your Idea of society "Crumbling" because of same sex marrage??really wake up Reuven,these gay people have more sense of responsability and respect for people that are different ,than you and people like you ,will ever have.. The Sanctity of the Jewish people has nothing to do with people who prefer different sexual orientation,For at the Moment ,our problem is not Homosexuality,This sexual preferance has been here since the begining of time,our problems are more real,and its called ,Living with terrorism,and the Paletinian people..That Rueven is what should be occupying your Sardine cramped mind,;Yeah and Good Shabbos to you too.
45. closet queens
steven ,   france   (06.17.06)
EVERY SINGLE PERSON ,JEW OR MUSLIM,SPEWING THEIR HATE AGAINST THE GAYS OF THIS WORLD,HAVE ONE REAL AND FINAL FANTASY AND THAT IS THE DESIRE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE HOMOSEXUAL EXPERIENCE IN THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY LEAVE THIS WORLD.AND BEFORE THEY ARRIVE BEFORE THE GATES OF HEAVEN,AND EXPLAIN TO G-D WHY THEY WERE SO INTOLERANT. This applies to the "Ellens and Reuvens,ED and mollahs etc,etc ;They are all ,in reality "The biggest Closet Queens",but they do not know it..;actually maybe they do,but,they're fighting it ,and loosing the battle;Pity,they could be having sooooo much more fun..So, all you ANTI- GAY smucks,lighten up,join in the Parade ,have a drink,dance laugh ,what ever,but please DO NOT ,tell me G-D will punish the Gay people for their sexual orientation.,,the Only people that will be Punished will be you,For your lack of Intolerance. Oh,and just in case you are not aware,there are gay Catholics,gay muslims,gay Rabbis,etc,etc,all have the right to live as they please,and it wont be YOU,who will change that..Worry about the next Quassam,sent by the Palestinians,THAT,is a PROBLEM. Peace and Love,to all..
46. Bill
tony ,   PARIS   (06.17.06)
What village do you come from???I suggest you get an education first Bill,if that is your name??learn to spell,first,so we can figure out what the Hell you are trying to say?You must be one of those ,who have never even left there back yard,Well maybe ,you got as far as the market,and when you did get there,you forgot why you went in the first place..grow up;and the correct spelling is QUEERS,,Try it ,maybe you'll like it???
47. Who cares
Daniel ,   Australia   (06.17.06)
Seriously, its 2006...not 1956. Let the fags do what they want. As long as they arent screwing each other in public or commiting indecent acts, then they can do what they want behind closed doors. If they want to have a parade, then give them a bloody parade. These people are harmless (in most cases). Yeh, its unnatural...something went wrong in the genes, but who cares. They didnt chose to be like that, they were born like that. It really shouldnt be much of an issue. People should be more concerned about other things like making money, getting laid and staying healthy.
48. All religionists are the same
Michael Steiner   (06.17.06)
Bush and the Wahabees are two sides of the same coin. All religious fanatics (our own mitnakhalim/kharedim and other kooks included) forever want to maim, murder, persecute, pin yellow stars or pink triangles on people and hate, hate, hate. What's the difference between those who ram jumbo jets into buildingsm, those who bomb abortion clinics and those who lynch a person because of what/how they were born? No difference. All you fundamentalists: Jewish, Muslim and Xian can go to effing hell!!
49. WOW #46 Who licked the sweet off your candy?
Annie ,   USA   (06.17.06)
50. The routes of homophobia are in the Torah
John ,   UK   (06.17.06)
The Torah legitimised Homophobia, by calling for the murder of gays. All other religions just borrowed from it. Those verses of the Torah must be removed and declared null and void
51. What else is new ?
Hiram Al MAsry ,   tel aviv   (06.17.06)
So did th Nazis, so does fundamental Judaism, so does Islam... Islamic clerics are just like the Nazis ! Same intolerance, same low level of intelligence and humanism... Dont get yourselves be fooled ! Islamic clerics are at the ame low level as Himmler, Rosenberg and all the theoricians of fundamental Nazism ....
52. #21-Michael from Eilat.
Uziel   (06.17.06)
I don´t share your way of life, though probably you don´t share mine neither :), but you are still my brother and you can count on me.
53. #3 GERMAN SHIT SHUT UP
gabriela ben ari   (06.18.06)
54. Wasn't this an article about Muslim gays????
gabriela ben ari ,   Jerusalem   (06.18.06)
I dont get how does Jewish religion fit in all these hatred talkbacks! BTW that judaism oposes gay lifestyle does not mean we want to throw gays from a 20 floors building Its just seems pathetic to read all these excuses about gay's "holiness" and their "right" to march in this holy city. Gays should democratically (they love democracy- so use it) refer to Jerusalem residents whether they would like to host such an event. That seems only fair. If majority wants go along , if not, get lost and far away!!!
55. #54 bad logic!
avramele   (06.18.06)
by your logic Gabriele you should never be allowed to step foot in tel Aviv or Haifa... in a democracy dissidents cannot be censored community by community.
56. Reply to Antonio #26
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (06.18.06)
"Keep your sexual activities to your bedroom, like every other normal human being." I assume you admonish heterosexuals in that quote, because the half-naked, make out celebrations that people generally observe (at least in the USA) come from heterosexuals. I don't know if Israelis have an equivalent to college spring break, but if you do, Antonio, I suggest you start a campaign to ban it. A puritan like yourself would feel sick knowing what boys and girls do to each other when they have lust and alcohol.
57. to #32
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (06.18.06)
I agree with you 100%. I just hope you don't masturbate.
58. HATEFUL BIGOTRY
JJ ,   Austin USA   (06.20.06)
You're so right. Jesus adores bigotry such as yours! You're in for quite a surprise when you enter "your" version of the Pearly Gates, you hateful bastard.
59. View from Iraq
Ahmed Kadret ,   Baghdad -Iraq   (06.21.06)
I cant believe all this, first of all wake up people, religion is man made, and all these "Abrahamic faiths" are out dated. and if you do your research well, you would find out that all these stories were stolen from religions such as Babylonian religions and Zoroastrianism. second , I dont think that it matters whom you choose to Love as long as you love someone. I dont see you condemning rapists, nor people who kill and murder others, now that is serious. live and let live, some trees bear fruit and others dont. Homosexuality was banned by religion because it threatened the marital institution and in this day and age, we see many who live with a partner and dont get married and decide to have kids. Its their choice , im not ednorsing any one's way of life but im saying if you dont like certain people, you may choose not to socialize with them, but living in a wprld that there is not much respect for life or humanity I say that those clerics better go and condemn their people who but a few weeks ago in Baghdad started to distribute pieces of paper FORCING and THREATENING people that if they were to wear JEANS, and if women ( even non MUSLIMS were to roam around without a head scarf that they would get killed. Now that is sick and not some Gay guy who chooses to love someone and is not causing you any harm and if you see that as a threat then i think that your darkest fear is that you have thos tendencies and for some reason or another you cant express it so you want to impose horror on someone elses life. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE PEOPLE
60. Gays hate Hashem
Michael U ,   SF,California   (06.21.06)
It is so obvious that people who hate G-d are the ones supporting Gay rights. They accept Palestininan propaganda as truth, then say that the Torah says to Hate gay people {which it doesn't say}. They will lie, they will distort, and they will ATTEMPT to destroy {as the fellow above who suggested we remove a section of the Torah! Made me laugh} the Torah. For many centuries people have diluted the religion of G-d by picking and choosing aspects which fit to their life style. This is not what Torah was given for. It is not a chinese menu of ideas, which a person chooses which ones fit his life. That is making G-d in your own image, an act of IDOLOTRY. People think that Torah doesn't apply to today, but it most certainly does. If people just opened their eyes and stopped for a moment they would realize that Torah is meant to bring peace into the world. It is the will of the Gay Pride movement to bring hate and division into the world {which they most certainly are doing}.
