So typically Jewish.The State is facing its final solution,and this is what you are busy with.Am not disturbed by the Chareidim as they are the largest single source of foriegn curreny income for Israel.Rather for all your bitter letter writers Who if they had the chance the the religious have plus their resouces would have probebly have left long ago.P.S. half your army officer corps are religious.Wake up!!

See, I can do it too!!! Here's a few more War was a failure because: 1) Elian Gonzalez was sent to Cuba 2) Washington Redskins lost to Dallas Cowboys 3) Rabbis make things up about random stuff and claim that it causes things to happen. WERE FREAKING HUMANS!! God did not guide the Anti-Tank Missles...God did NOT go BACK IN TIME to give Hezballa missles....or wiat.... and alternative future..If all Gays stopped being gay, the Messiah would come and all the arabs will say, "oops our bad, you can have the whole middle east, we'll just go somehwere else....btw, you jews can have the oil too"

RO 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." RO 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. RO 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. RO 1:26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

Through the prophet Ezekiel (written a thousand years AFTER God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) God tells us WHY He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah . . . "This was the iniquity (sin) of your sister Sodom: She [Sodom] and her daughter [Gomorrah] had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy, and they were arrogant (haughty) ... Therefore, I [God] took them away as I saw fit." [He utterly destroyed them with fire ...] (Ezekiel 16:49-50) In these verses, God links open homosexuality in a society to the ultimate in sinful 'pride' and 'arrogance'... Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed ('cleansed' with fire) because they were filled with pride and arrogance while flaunting their sexual immorality and their homosexuality openly before God. They mocked God and they had no fear of God. They were also found guilty of having 'an abundance of idleness' in the land (probably ate, drank, watched TV, and allowed their 'Gay Pride' parades ... the people had become so de-sensitized to sin they even stood by as THEIR 'gays' tried to 'take' the two men/angels God sent to warn Lot ... while their Biblically blind priests, rabbis, ministers, and 'reverends' were assuring the people in the pews that God's Word and God's Law didn't really mean what it said and didn't really apply to them and they could continue to do whatever felt right 'in their own eyes,' even when in direct opposition to God's Law ... All of this reflected their lack of belief and their arrogant and rebellious attitudes toward God and His Word. Sin meant nothing to them and there was no fear of God ... God's judgment against Sodom was was also given as a warning! The Bible warns the coming 'Apocalypse' will be like the judgment against Sodom (only worse), and this time it will come against the whole world! God is now pleading with us to stop (repent of) our sinful ways and return to Him before it's too late. With open arms and with tears of joy He will welcome and forgive any and all who will return to Him through the One He sent forth to save us sinners ... Yeshua-Jesus ... the promised Messiah.

From here, I read on the news about scandals in Israel...the abominations of organised crime elements firing rockets at each other in the cities, rapes of young girls, accusations of rape and corruption from within the government, even a scandal from within the Haredi community ....and all that can be protested against is a gay pride parade? Wake up! Yes, I also feel like maybe this parade should not be in Jerusalem, however where are the protests for this other horrendous behaviour ????

I applaud the efforts of the Hassidim to stop the wholesale marketing of sexual perversion to the children and the community. Gays are no a "minority" than people who like skydiving. It is just a preference and the right to decorate the city in their flags is wrong on all grounds. G-d will recognize the Jewish effort to prevent such blatant disregard for not only Torah but the wishes of the community not to have a sexual orientation paraded in a place where it is not only offensive but clearly an outright planned and leveraged attack on the senses on the people Gays don't like. I think parades such as these intentionally put in religious places, surmount to a hate crime against people's belief systems. Hate against G-d and his people. Heterosexuality doesn't need to be sold its natural. Only perversion needs such marketing tacktics.

RO 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

STOP THAT SHAME ! EVEN ANIMALS ARE NOT DOING SUCH " STUFF " .

Christians read Torah, Tanakh and the New Testament and so have great love and good-will for Israel; but it's heartbreaking to see more Christian's than Jews imploring Jews (on a Jewish site) to remember and do God‘s word. When Israel cries, true Christian’s cry; allow parade and we’ll both be crying for God’s wrath on Israel.

PRAY AGAINST IT! FAST AGAINST IT! OBEY [THE BIBLE] AGAINST IT!

best friend. They have rights, they pay tax (which is more than the lot seen in the above picture do) let them have their parade and don't judge anyone.

Nobody is talking about homosexuality, what people are against is A PRIDE PARADE and that is all. So please keep the discussion inside the real issue, no one is attacking people because of sexual abberations.

Their pride that they want to show off is that they !@#$%^ a different way. Why do they care? They don't, what they want to do is sell the idea to perverts that its ok and create peer pressure on the world to let them continue to sell the idea – advertising. The heterosexuals don't have a need to let the world know they are proud. Why do gay's need this boost at everyone else expense? If your not proud of yourself, reexamine or get a shrink, I don't think a parade will help.

Who is this Ha-Shem? Who is he to tell us that he will bless those who bless us? Since when does he have the power to do that? He can give us his blessing but not God's. You may be a nice person, a man who wants peace, but we cannot have that peace unless all the lesbians and gays in Israel have come to realize that there is NO SANCTITY in Jerusalem because of Gays!!!! And yes! The 2006 Pride Parade must never happen again or to be excecuted succesfully! Where is the holiness in finding attraction in the same gender? Ask youself this question: If we do have others liking the same gender, even marrying the same gender, then why did God make man and woman, two very differe very opposite genders? Where is the point in having sanctity in gays and lesbians? The Devil has certainly pulled his cover over your eyes, keeping you from seeing the true value, virtue, chastity, love, charity, and holiness of a marriage and attraction between Man and Woman. Do you not belive in Adam and Eve? For SHAME!!!! SHAME!!! And the "Prophet " you have is not a prophet. What does he do, recieve prophecy from a stone like Hyrum Page? True prophecy comes from God. A man of holiness he is not. Lies are all that he spews from his mouth.

This world, and ALL of it is worse than it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. The end will come soon.

'tis better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and prove the same. Or, to quote an old friend of mine, "May the baby Jesus shut your mouth and open your mind." If black hats believe this hooey then they are as deluded as the schmata heads who followed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem into Hitler's bed are when they say that Israel is illegitimate. If the loudmouths were to live honorable lives and set an example...and defend the widow by getting real jobs, not sucking off the taxpayer, and serving in the military maybe I would be more willing to see them as grown ups.

Hebrews 2.6-7 and Tehillim 8.5...are you looking for perfection, #65? Are you trying to hold others to the highest of standards? And do you observe all the mitzvohs? Or even the Noachide laws?

yes HE loves all people,..but hates the sin that HE so desperately HAS warned us over and over again against!!!!!! dont be stupid on purpose man!!!

you are unholy and you mock all that is HOLY! Dont use your weak lustful flesh as a cover up!! and dont add HIS name to yours. HE commands holiness of body.......no gays no whores no liers etc.... readdddddddd your torah!!!!!! may someone slap u back to reality!! lol

I was just sick when I heard the original announcement that the parade would be held in the Holy Land. It is just like spitting in God's face to hold such a thing there. I thought immediately that we would suffer from God's wrath in some way. Interesting article.

Under scientific scrutinity, the 'therapy' to help gay people become straight has been shown to be crap. Some manage to live in denial, some become celibate. A better point yet - why is it a 'disease' that they should seek help for?

I hear this sort of question all the time: "Why do those people need to have a parade based on who they have sex with?" In reality there's a LOT more to it than that. The better questions to ask are: Why do people get fired from their jobs because of who they are in a relationship with? Why are people deemed to be unfit parents because they call themselves "Gay?" Why are people prohibited from marrying the person they want to pledge their love and support and faithfulness to? If Gay and Straight people were indeed treated equally under the law, there would be no need for marches and political movements. But that is NOT the case, certainly not here in the United States, supposedly the Land of Freedom.

You say rabbi's have a great power . Why did'nt they use this power before the Shoa ? Every one defending the "holy" city of Jerusalem talks about Thora , god and so on . There are many non believers , with reason [ who can believe after the Shoa ??? ] So do'nt use those "religious" arguments . We , non believers , are just good for you when your "schnorrers" ring at our doors . I have religious friends , tolerant also , and those people dessrerve respect . The non tolerant haredi world do'nt desserve this , they just preach hatred .

SHEMA ISRAEL! Blinded by your own judgements you manufacture words for the Most High. At your computer you delude yourself; believing you sit on The Throne. Banging your keyboard you assault the Children of the Promise and call it truth. Save yourself! Read the Word again and See! For all the Law and the Prophets can be reduced to this: Love G-d with your whole heart, with your whole mind, with your whole strength. And Love your neighbor as yourself. SHEMA ISRAEL!

"#9 Hashem loves all his children Gay,Straight,Bisexual,Asexual, and Transgendered I know that for a fact. " "#12 Can you back that up with research? Have you studied gay behavior? " How can you back up your own statement that God loves homosexuals? Is it because the Torah explicitly forbids homosexuality? You are a hypocrite.

Just one word for this parade. It shouldn't be held inthe Holy Land . You who organise & you who participate you don't realise the damage you bring to the Humanity by yours sins. Beware of the Eternal JUdgement

Freedom should allow gays to do what they want, but in their own environment. They insist on forcing on the rest of us some absurd notion that what they do is either normal or equivalent to heterosexuality, and that they should be mainstreamed into society as if it is not noticeable that what they do is so different and so screwed up. Let them do what they want among themselves. The Haredim don't march through the streets Amsterdam as far as I know to demand equality from the hookers and drug dealers. They live in Haredi communities and generally work and socialize with their own. Why can't gays simply do that? Why do they need to force upon the rest of us the lie that we should look at them as if there is nothing wrong or irregular about what they do? It's just plain illogical. In the end, they will pay the price, because straight people who were willing to just leave them alone are getting fed up with their in-your-face behavior. Me included.

Your photo caption with the Haredim is misleading. The main headline in the sign being held up reads: " Jerusalem is the Holy City ". Your editor only translates the rest of the sign, which is completely misleading and biased. Pretty typical for a leftist paper.

I want to love everybody, but I don't want to be defiled by their filth or conduct. People should keep their sexual preferences in their bedrooms. Why are the gay people allowed to offend others, when others can not even mention their beliefs? I'm sure that I would not want to offend G-d in this matter, and what I think is really going on here is that these "gay" people are really angry and haters of G-d and WANT to spit in His face! I mean, come on, to hold a gay parade in the city of our great King! Why there? Why not in Gaza? I'm sure the gay communities in Israel and Gaza could find a cease-fire for a gay parade, right? This they could agree upon, no? Why bring it upon our people? G-d has always punished Israel with death and war when there was sin in the camp! Are you people insane? Do you want to be destroyed, have you lost hope? You know that "gay" does not mean happy! Gay's are very miserable people, alcoholics, druggies, abused, used and confused. There can never be any real happiness for those who offend G-d, He will not allow you to prosper in your filth, especially when He has told you what is acceptable and unacceptable in His sight! On this one I must agree with the Ultra-Orthodox. Although I usually don't since they tend to be haters of everyone that isn't like them. That's very offensive in G-d's sight also. G-d did say that Israel was to be a light unto the Gentiles and that His house would be a house of prayer for ALL people! Those who call upon the name of the L-rd shall be saved, and those who continue to seek Him until they find Him. If you don't want to please G-d and give up your rebellion, then move out of His land! Let the righteous enter in!
