Shame on Ynet for such a poor article. This is not journalism. It is poor spin planted by opponents of the parade and disguised as "news". Notice that there is not one official with any decision making power who is actually quoted as saying that the parade will not happen. The article is a motley of wishful thinking and unattributed quotes. Did Ramon or the Jerusalem police decide anything? No, of course not...

World Pride should not accept any move .. It can not appear to be partisan politically ... World Pride is a call to action in every country ... and there is not a country yet where lesbians and gay men are not looked down on for wanting to be visible as people who love members of their own sex. We should not be surprised that we a re not wanted by homophobic religious and politicians ... we must stand together.. On this one issue regardless of what ever, other differences we may have as a world wide diverse community. The most important aspect of this World Pride in Jerusalem is the gathering of open lesbians and gay men of faith in one conversation across culture and religion. No one should have ever thought Jerusalem would be a party.. It is not .. It is like Stonewall itself: a rebellion .. a rebellion against bigotry ... anywhere,... I was present the first night of Stonewall ..it was not a riot ..it was a rebellion motivated by love and self-respect. Blessed be qrone

Undoubtedly, the prayers to the G-d of Yerushalayim have been answered. As (without doubt?) there are homosexuals and immoral heterosexuals in any population, even Eretz Yisra' el's, I hope that gentle christians and gentle Jews may take the opportunity to be persuasive to gay's (for repentance) should there march not be prayed away from Tel Aviv.

I see talk back #62 ending with "blessed be". "blessed be" is the salutation of an adherent of "wicca" and the "wiccan" "religion", otherwise known as white magic. It's god is none other than ha satan. FYI

should be called " worldshame " -- dont stop at Tel Aviv --- move them all to the moon !!

i can't believe some of the hateful things coming out of people. how can you say that your fellow jews, who were forced to wear a pink triangle just as jews were forced to wear a yellow star, are not worthy of dignity and respect? i applaud and appreciate people like the person who said he and his family would march in solidarity. thank you to the honest and brave who can recognize human rights when we need them.

statitics show heterosexual MALES are spreading aids though ignorance.

"It is not the private property of men in long black beards and big black hats (or knitted kippot)." Why do you insult Jewish, religious leaders ? As a Christian, I respect them MORE than you. "Your religion is based on a lie and sucking in Jews won't succeed in perpetuating that lie". you said that not long ago. After slandering Christians, you are now at war with your religious people showing them not much respect. Deserts are more appropriate for such parades than Jerusalem considered a holy city to Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Move the parade to Mecca

Israel is too sacred a place to have such goings on there, but I am glad that the parade is not going to be held in Jerusalem, the most holy city in the world.

They dont even have parades for regular people on these kinds of things. So Keep Your Stinky trash in your Own Filthy House. Dont Push your Perverted open Mind on everybody else.

How can anyone take "pride" in being a homosexual. That's like taking pride in being a murderer or a thief. Talk about sick!!

If we have to accept all lifestyle choices, then must also accept the lifestles of Murderers, Serial Killers, Petafiles. Drug Addicts, Alcoholics, etc., etc. These ARE ALL LIFESTYLE CHOICES. If you excuse one then you have to excuse all.

YOU MUST BE A FIRST CLASS LOW LIFE NOT TO RESPECT JERUSALEM AS A HOLY CITY YOU WANT GARBAGE GO TO RUSSIA OR TEL AVIV

NEED A PLACE FOR YOUR GAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS GO TO A HOSPITAL AND SEE A DOCTOR FOR YOUR LOW LIFE STYLE THESE ARE SICK PEOPLE MADE HEALTHY BY SOME CRACKS THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OTHER ISSUES JUST TRYING TO INSTIGATE SOME RIOT OR SOMETHING GAYS ARE SICKOS THAT NEED HELP JERUSALEM WOULD BE A GREAT BREACH TO THE HEALTHY MIND. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LONG COATS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TORAH AND IF THE TORAH BELONGS TO YOU THAN FOLLOW IT'S COMMAND!!! YOU CAN NOT SAY I AM JEWISH AND ACT LIKE THE SECULARS GOOD LUCK TO YOUR CONCOCTED BRAIN.!!

JERUSALEM IS A CITY TO BE KEPT SACRED CAN NOT LISTEN TO SECULARISM JERUSALEM IS A HOLY CITY AND SHOULD BE KEPT AND REPECTED AS SO GO TO TEL AVIV OR MAYBE BUDAPEST. JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF HOLINESS!!!!

You get reincarnated, and your parents die in an accident when you're a few weeks old, so you're up for adoption. You could be adopted by a married man-woman couple, or a married same-sex couple. What's your preference, if any? What does it matter as long as it is someone that loves and cares for you?

the evil one has much power, as we see in the creation of gay rights and civil liberties. I can only speak the Pure Gospel: 'Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord!'

'it must needs that offenses come; but woe unto him by whom the offense cometh!' King James Version. It truly is sick how these people desire to march to show their 'pride.' its bad enough they march all over the world, but in the holy City of Jerusalem. Dont lose hope, God will have his vengeance.

Hey Robert, give it up man. This will never be justified in the eyes of the Living God.

I am not sure about this, however it could well be the gays that Iran doesnt want to see exist.

Golem, repent ye you sinful man. The wrath of God will be upon you and all those who are with your mindset of thinking. God will have his vengeance. I thank God that He has not allowed such a horrible parade to occur in the Holy city. It is people like you and these filthy obominable sinners that defy the Living God. Repent oh ye wicked, or else God will not have mercy.

I would like to say that #73 has a point that can not be marred. Excellent point. It is as having pride as a sinner, drunkard, molester, murderer or a thief. Could not have said it better Avraham.

SODOM AND GOMORRA.

To those I offended with sharp words, forgive me. I stand firm and steadfast in what I believe in. I dont believe gays will go to heaven, in fact, they wont. I simply ask you supporters and sinners to repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

You have to believe in something, or you will fall for everything!!!!! Now who is ignorant.

No body can prove that these cities existed, why do you insist on dwelling on ghostly imaginations?

Hi Jim, to some of us your jewish view of being the chosen one is deviant enough, so don't judge too harshly or you shall be judged. Let God, if there's one, be the only judge.
