1. Israel and gay pride? Should be gay shame...
RMSe17 ,   Gainesville USA   (09.18.06)
Oh come on Jerusalem, do not forget what your God told you... of all the nations, Israel, you should know better.
2. Parade
Brod ,   USA   (09.18.06)
Parade of no shame is also an abomination to GOD.
3. GAY??? parade
Miriam Davidowitz ,   South Africa   (09.18.06)
Why don't they just break all records in their haste to defy our beautiful sacred Jerusalem and have this despicable on Rosh Hashana or better still for these spiteful gays on Yom Kippur?? I cry copious tears for what we Jews have become.
4. gay parade- g-d forbid
sara ,   brooklyn ny   (09.18.06)
a gay parade - g-d forbid
5. Good news for Olmert :p
fadi ,   lebanon   (09.18.06)
at last his daughter can go and demonstrate for a reason other than against war on lebanon lol
6. Anyone remebers the story of Lut in Thorat!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (09.18.06)
Shame on you israel.. wheres the truly religous orthodox people ? why they dont move to stop this? why in the middle of jerusalem ... its a disgrace not only for jews but for muslims to have this parade in the same city of the holey mosque of Aqsa ..... At least shift it to Tel aviv ... During Olmerts days nothing of this happened... he should go back there ... seems he was much more better as a mayor fighting gays rather than PM to lead a war !!!
7. Gay parade
Avraham ,   USA   (09.18.06)
Fadi, of course this homosexual parade is a disgrace, and these beasts are planning to carry out this filthy deed in the holiest spot on earth according to Jews - Jerusalem. An outpouring of Orthodox Jewish pressure stopped this parade from having materialized last month. Of course, the Orthodox Jews are against this outrageous insult to the holiness of Jerusalem. Still, we value human life and try to prevent such travesties in legal, non-violent ways. Do you expect us to violate our principles and peaceful nature of Judaism and start threatening or killing people?
8. Pray for rain
Oded ,   USA   (09.18.06)
If they have such a good relation to god, as they claim, why don't they pray for rain instead of threatening to start a holy war?
9. Jews don't want this in Jerusalem
Daniel van Dalen ,   Jerusalem   (09.18.06)
We Jews don't want this in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a holy city. Not only to Jews, but also to Muslims. Many Chareidi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews like me are very much aware of the results of this 'gay parade': incredible anti-Semitism amongst Arabs. Arabs: please know that it is not Jews, but secular Zionists who are behind this. Religious Jews (whether ultra-Orthodox or modern-Orthodox, whether anti-Zionist or pro-Zionist) HATE this parade as much as Muslims do. We, Jews and Muslims and Christians also, should cooperate in kicking this abomination out of our city. The Badatz of the Edah HaChareidis (the highest rabbinical court of Jerusalem) ruled that we must fight a 'MILCHEMES KOIDESH BEMESIRUS NEFESH'. This translated as a 'HOLY WAR WITH SACRIFICE OF THE SOUL'. My rabbi is one of the leading figures of the Badatz and one of the signatures of this declaration, and I definitely plan to follow his instructions regarding this. We will fight them, verbally and if necessary physically, and we will throw them out of the Holy City, so that the Holy City will remain holy, to all those involved.
10. Hatred of sin...
Susan Smith ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.18.06)
It is not enough to hate sin with the "hatred of G-d" (as some teach). We must love the sinner with the love of His Son, the Messiah.
11. MAYBE THE REASON ISRAEL FLUNKED IN 34DAYS WAR
SAM   (09.18.06)
12. MEN BE YE MEN gay people say no
truth   (09.18.06)
13. MARZEL FIGHT THEM 4 GOD IS WITH U
Concerned ,   Israeli   (09.18.06)
14. As irritating as you can be Fadi, you're ultimately alright
(09.18.06)
15. Scheduling a disaster
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (09.18.06)
It seems like every time they arrange for a gay parade in Jerusalem, some other catostrophic event happens preventing the parade. If Olmert really seeks peace he should step in to stop this. Jerusalem is a city embodying the word holy. With all due respect to the privacy of homosexuals and anyone else, this parade should not be held in Jerusalem. It would be like holding a Christmas parade in Mecca or a Hapoel Tel Aviv victory parade in Teddy stadium (a Rangers Stanley Cup parade on Long Island.) The point is, there is a place for these things and a place where these things do not belong.
16. This Jerusalem Parade Is a BIG Mistake!!
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (09.18.06)
It offends far too many residents of the Holy city. It should have been prevented. This is a clear indication of the idiots that continue to run the country from Olmert on down.
17. Ynet: the official gay site - STOP it please
(09.18.06)
18. Tired of you Fanatics
Ronen Noy ,   Modi'in, Israel   (09.18.06)
Jerusalem is a CITY. The fact that you all think it's a symbol of whatever is very touching, but civil law is above religious law, as it should be. I recommend any Haredi or Rightist or Leftist or whoever tries to disrupt this parade, be shot if caught displaying even the slightest provocation to this parade. Don't cry about anti-semitism if you're homophobic, you blatant hypocrites. And by the way, I'm jewish.
19. What to expect?
Lon ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.18.06)
Although Jerusalem is definetly the holiest city in all of Israel, it is also where the Knesset or a secular government sits. Therefore it is expected that there will be secular protest and parades. As long as the pride parade stays far from the Old City, may it be. They will be judged in G-ds timing, not ours.
20. Would god be really ashamed?
Mati ,   Buenos Aires   (09.18.06)
"I cry copious tears for what we Jews have become". We have become a very racist people who do not accept the rights of everybody! Shame on us, if the reaction to a gay parade is distate!
21. From art: " two lions riding one another"
ilana   (09.18.06)
This just about says it all as to what this group is about. Degredation and distain on Israel, the Torah and society as a norm. They are a wretched lot of despots. Let them ride their animals in their filthy houses! I can only hope someone will do what is right and get these maggots off the streets of J'lem. This is a sign that the world has indeed reached its lowest point and the "gays" have broutht it there.
22. WE WILL ALL BE PINCHAS!!!
LEE ,   NY, USA   (09.18.06)
23. Shame parade
MGS ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.18.06)
The police invoke their right to restrict Jewish access to the Temple Mount citing the risk of violent behaviour. Yet this parade which will in all probability lead to violence is OK from their point of view. Could it be that the arab might is regarded as right but Jewish sensitivities can be ignored?
24. Let them march - but we keep the Lions
Kate ,   Jerusalem   (09.18.06)
Okay - Nov 10 is a good day. Let the Gay orgs march. The religious will be preparing for Shabbat and I'll be watering my garden. But the LIONS.... No one, gay or straight or smart or stupid, can call defacing a symbol "freedom of expression". Defacing a symbol is more than an act of disrespect - it's a rebellion against it's meaning and those and who identify with it. Jerusalemites, whether straight, gay, religious, secular or otherwise really do need to DEMAND an apology from the Open House. And the Open House owes us one. Lions have been the symbol of Jerusalem throughout history. Our Municipal symbol today reflects our connection to those many meanings. Not one of those "meanings" have anything to do with sexuality. Open House can have their march - but not the LIONS - those belong to ALL of us collectively.
25. Ronon NOY or Goy?
ilana   (09.18.06)
Wasn't sure if it was a typo. However any JEW who abides by Torah understands you suggested the WRONG group to be executed. Have a "gay" ole time at the parade.
26. Gay Shame?
Scott Caetano ,   Fort Lauderale , USA   (09.18.06)
By no means should any gay person feel ashamed ! Gay 's and Lesbians are born this way. It's time for your third world mentality to get with the program!
27. Gay Parade
Scott Caetano ,   Fort Lauderale, USA   (09.18.06)
I dare anyone from stopping me from expressing my freedom to do so! If you don't like it, then leave!
28. Jews
Scott Caetano ,   Fort Lauderdale, USA   (09.18.06)
The Jews should be compassionate on this issue, Remember the Holicost? I'm tired of hearing the Jews complain and whining! As it is without the USA, they would be shit!
29. Feigele Parade
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.18.06)
Public display of feigele-ism is the antithesis of Yiddishkeit. Feigele-ism is immorality by definition and an affront to the sacred natures of the Jew and Jerusalem. Feigele-ism is perversion of nature and G-d's intent to create a world of healthy, ethical human beings. The destruction of the world in the Great Flood and the demise of Sodom and Gemorroh are but a few examples of what G-d does to societies which accept the legitimacy of feigele-ism. Anyone who fails to cry out against this debaseness will bear the burden of the punishment the Almighty will slash out upon the wicked ones who engage in these dreadful acts.
30. No Wonder...
rs ,   US   (09.18.06)
Jesus revolted against Jewish laws. You are all so "righteous" that you sound like bigots. Quite frankly the more I read the less I care for the "jewish" cause because it is filled with hypocrisy and how can I take that seriously?
