1. sodomite parade
stephen ,   ludlow usa   (10.22.06)
And the Jews poked g-d in the eye for the last time! The christains quit supporting them, the muslims rampaged. All in Jerusalem who are true desendents of father abraham should go look in the book. On the same day the angels announced the birth of the nation they were on their way to destroy sodom!
2. Disgraceful..........
Avraham ,   Netivot   (10.22.06)
It is a disgrace that these queers be allowed to pollute our holy city of Jerusalem. The date they choose showes their utter contempt for the survivors of the Shoa & for Yerushaliem Ir Hakodesh. It must be stopped! Our children must not be exposed to this evil schmutz!
3. Why do they need the parade?
Oleg ,   Milwaukee, USA   (10.22.06)
What are they promoting? Why do we need to see them all the time? They are either sick or perverted.
4. to mrs Fenton
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.22.06)
Do all the haredi people stand still on Holocaust remembrance day ? NO . So don't bring in the cristalnacht argument to try to forbid the gay parade .
5. And Olmert says all fine at home front loool
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.22.06)
this explains a lot the photos and recording of israeli soldiers crying and weeping during the last war in lebanon :)
6. Could we pls finish with this parade!!!!
Enuf already ,   with this Parade   (10.22.06)
I am sick of hearing about it every single day when i read ynet there is an article for gay liberation, gay dating, gay parades...look its all very well to be liberal etc., but enought already. Gay people are wonderful talented and colourful people no different than most, for the most part...still this gay parade thing is starting to get annoying, everyone is finding an excuse to fight it..people are whingeing complaining etc., why not hold the venue somewhere else and be done with it..who needs all the negative publicity and whatis there to be gained if some neurotic madman decides to attack some gay people on parade, a stabbing, a murder maybe..leave Jerusalem alone. Its not about Haredim its about respecting all the religious orders that congregate in Jerusalem..the same way as you all want to be heard and respected..maybe you should take a leaf out of your own books stop for a minute and think, do I want to be heard, do I want to gain respect, well then listen to the masses, have your parade, but have it elsewhere.
7. "In your face" is not democracy
Lea de Lange ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.22.06)
Racism? If any group of people could never be a race it is this group that sees themselves mainly through "sex", what kind of sex they prefer. Sex that cannot produce offspring, so let's not talk about a "race". Democracy, freedom of expression is enjoyed by all inhabitants of Israel (or by none). This does not at all implicate that any small interest-group can shame the whole nation. Quite the contrary, democracy is about respecting one another.
8. Gay Parade
james bailey ,   Adelaide, Australia   (10.22.06)
It is sad that for a people who have been harrassed, murdered and treated as less-than-human for so many centuries, can show no empathy to another group who have suffered so much. Has the Holocaust simply become an event in history which some Jews use to obtain sympathy from others, or does it really mean something. Show some compassion to others who are oppressed and victimised - regardless of whether you agree or disagree with them.
9. Kristalnacht
Revuen Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.22.06)
The Hebrew date for Kristalnacht is the 16th of Marchesvan which corresponds with the night of November 6 this year. Historically, that was the true start date of the Holocaust and should be observed as such. (The date chosen for Yom Hashoa makes no historical sense whatsoever. If any date should have been chosen as Yom Hashoa it should be the 16th of Marchesvan.) It is very odd that a Jewish "religious" legislator should be so concerned with the Goyishe date.
10. Why the parade?
NC ,   Canada   (10.22.06)
There is no doubt in my mind that homosexuals are entitled to all the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. They should not be discriminated against. But why the parade? Wouldn't the best way to change the minds of people who morally oppose homosexuality be to live as normal contributing citizens, rather than cross-dressing and flaunting their sexuality? I don't parade down the street letting everyone know that I'm a man who likes having sex with women. The best way to be accepted by society would be to integrate into it. A person's sexual orientation is their business. The gay community should definitely continue to fight discrimination, but the parade is just viewed as incitement by people who oppose homosexuality, and probably by some who don't otherwise oppose it.
11. Excellent photo postings by Ynet !!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.22.06)
this site is changing to a porn site but with photos of gays !!! pleeeease be fair and post more girl photos !!!!
12. March in your own captial city - Sodom
Fyt ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.22.06)
The Torah states that the act of a man lying with a man is abominable. Why have a parade about having PRIDE in this act? And why have it in Jerusalem, the HOLY CITY? Seems to me the Gays are pushing the envelope and are showing a lack of tolerance and being 'in your face'. How about they march in their own capital city - Sodom. No one will bother them there.
13. Just change the date, show some respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Israel   (10.22.06)
It seems that the organisers of this parade are selfish nasty people. How dare they hold it on such an eve. I don't care if they parade, it doesn't bother me, but at least choose a day without throwing more petrol on the fire. They are are selfish minority and that is why they are doing this, to get noticed.
14. to all of you gay-hating freaks
Intedi Nensak ,   Bräkne-Hoby, Sweden   (10.22.06)
You're the worst hypocrits in the world. Don't you dare cry over something that happened to someone else before you were even born while at the same time discriminate against your fellow countrymen just because they're homosexuals. in any case gays were just as oppressed as jews in nazi-germany. i pray god will send a couple of drag queens to have sex outside your house the entire day kthx.
15. What gross hypocrisy!
Marlene ,   New York   (10.22.06)
The only insult to Holocaust survivors is not the gay parade, but the brutal, racist and oppressive policies carried out against an entire population because of their identity with no distinction made to man, woman or child. This is what should carry shame, but it doesn't. It is nothing but callous indifference. to the wanton destruction and apartheid going on just miles away where the lives of Palestinians must revolve around sick, fanatic settlers who can do what they want at will to the population while under the protection of an army while in the very state of Israel, a supremacy exists of one identity of people over the others. Kristalnacht has been carried out many times over but this time to the new victims by the destruction of Palestinian homes ongoing for decades, and Palestinian businesses not only by an army, but also by Jewish settlers. This is tantamount to Holocaust denial.
16. Torah & Tanakh say J'lem is Holy
(10.22.06)
Torah & Tanakh say "GOD'S WORD DOES NOT CHANGE" Torah & Tanakh say sodomy is "ABOMINATION" Torah & Tanakh show God gives many WARNINGS! prior to judgment WARNINGS: --Iranian hostility --Hez / Hams complicity --Recent Lebanon war --Syria on war alert --7,500 UNIFIL troops at So. border --UN / world / media hostility WARNING!!! KRISTALNACT WAS THE BEGINING OF SHOA GOD IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!!! PLEASE LISTEN!! CAST THE SODOMITES OUT & WIN AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES! INVITE-ALLOW THEM IN & GREAT CATASTROPHY WILL COME ---------------- TURN BACK ISRAEL! Prophet Jeremiah
17. Israeli Jewish Society Intolerant
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (10.22.06)
It's pretty sad to see Jews hysterically going crazy because gays want a parade. It shows the dreadful hypocrisy and intolerance of Israeli Jewish society. So what if they want a parade. The fact that it's now on Kristallnacht is just a pathetic excuse to stop it. My mother was in Vienna during Kristallnacht and she does not care a hoot if gay parade is on the same date.
18. Forgotten Foundations
David ,   Jerusalem   (10.22.06)
And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally. How much longer will our nation continue to spit in the face of Elohim? To all Jews: to the politicians, to the business men, to the Religious leaders, and to the most favoured of, all the common people. How long will you reject the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. It is written: ‘You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination…. ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled. ‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants. ‘But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the alien who sojourns among you Leviticus 18:22-26
19. we want fadi..at least he has
Long noses from ,   Norway   (10.22.06)
more intelligence is witty adds a bit of color to our daily talkbacks and lives in the region...not like #14 over there. what the hell was that? who asked for his opinion anyways, go stick it where the sun dont shine.. racist maybe ...maybe not, we are practical, its offends not only the jews, but arabs and christians alike..so BUTT OUT and maybe with a bit of luck u might draw the attention u so crave.
20. #19 appreciate ur talk back :)
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.22.06)
21. No, YOU disgrace hashoah!!!
Michael Steiner   (10.22.06)
I have reservations to say the least about the parade but let's be real. Who's disgracing hashoah: those who are "different" from what is considered mainstream and want acceptance and equal rights, or those who'd pin pink triangles on them? And this comment says all about this Mafdal's freak: "How would the secular, atheist public in Israel accept a parade on the day marking Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination?" So, it means Fenton does not consider the assassination of an Israeli prime minister a matter of concern. Trash.
22. Zion should not be treated like a homosexual Disneyland
Defend Jerusalem ,   Perth, Australia   (10.22.06)
This desecration aimed at the Holy City is an act of galling defiance against HaShem, but what else can you expect from these wicked men? Comrade Peretz and the Sodomite Socialists are carrying out Pogroms against the Jews of Judea and Samaria, even today. This has emboldened his army of backstabbers to assault Jerusalem and the Holy Temple which good King Josiah expelled them from. Why do the Arabs still have our abducted soldiers? It is because all of the resources of the internal security forces and the army are directed against Jews, or wasted upon the protection of fairies. Peretz is the spitting image of Stalin, but he should not flatter himself. Stalin won wars, while Peretz is only good at the Pogrom. In fact he is such a loser that he may as well shave his moustache down to a Hitler. Perhaps he might also find a pair of testicles, throw one away, and pin the other one between his legs. Then we could stop calling them the Sodomite Socialists and just refer to them as the plain old SS. Why not? They love to dress up and march around yelling slogans at people. They are a perverse mob that persecutes anybody that dares to act like a Jew. Observe how in a recent propaganda piece some little Goebbels-like bastard dared to equate the way in which the Haredim dress humbly to please HaShem to the outrageous costume of a catamite! The Reform Movement is too hip to tell these sick degenerates that they are in need of help. Yet thankfully in the Torah we always have blessed Moses plainly telling us that to HaShem they are nothing but an abomination. If Moses got it wrong, then there would be no point in even being a Jew. I look forward to the day when the Haredim can expel these scoundrels from Jerusalem, and when the rising tide of religious Zionism washes Israel clean. Every dog has its day they say, and I pray that the day of the faithless dog persecuting the Holy Land is almost over.

24. #14: Intendi in Sweden: YOU'VE GOTTA B KIDDING
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (10.22.06)
"...in any case gays were just as oppressed as jews in nazi-germany..." HOW COULD YOU MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH STATEMENT? NO ONE WITH ANY SENSE WOULD AGREE WITH IT.
25. HEY #15, IN NEW YORK: WAKE UP!
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (10.22.06)
NICE TRY, LEFTY. BUT ALL OF THIS SO-CALLED PALESTINIAN OPPRESSION IS BROUGHT UPON BY GUESS WHO? THEY THEMSELVES. DON'T EVEN TRY TO USE THIS AS A FORUM TO BLAST THE 'SETTLERS'. YOU ARE AN IGNORAMUS WHO CANNOT STICK TO THE SUBJECT. BUT NICE TRY.
26. You allow sodomites in OUR HOLY CITY.
Mahmoud ,   Jerusalem   (10.22.06)
You Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to defile and desecrate OUR HOLY CITY by allowing sodomites to parade their sin and perversion. While claiming the Jerusalem is your Jewish capital, you Jews are demonstrating for the world to see what you really think of Islam's Holy City. You are fooling no one anymore.
27. MAHMOUD: IT IS OUR (JEWISH) HOLY CITY

28. #20 tfadel my dear Fadi
Ah if making peace ,   was this easy!   (10.22.06)
We may come from different religions, countries etc., but basically underneath we are all human beings. I read your talkbacks and u always manage to put put a smile on my face..i even noticed to my delight that you have a fan club... so u see that its not yours or my religion or our countries that is the problem it is the fanatics on both sides who dont listen to the people, but run/ruin the countries anyway. Regardless of all the above I am always willing to be open minded and hope that the diversity that divides us will one day bring us back together. Meantime, Have a good one!!
29. Send Them to Arabia
Mary ,   USA   (10.22.06)
This is not about tolerance, it is about evil. The marchers dont have the guts to go to Mecca and march, I wish they did. What a news story that would be. Respect for God is what the issue is and the atheists who promote evil in the guise of freedom use"intolerance" as a means to garner legal precedent to march. No matter, Thanks be to God ,that he will judge, and he will in his own time. Even so come Lord Jesus
30. Gay & Lesbian Jews
Holly in Cincinnati ,   Cincinnati OH USA   (10.22.06)
There are lots of us. The percentage of Jews who are gay or lesbian may be even higher than that of the population as a whole. Many of us are religious. Some Holocaust survivors are/were gay or lesbian Jews. To learn more about gay or lesbian Jews, visit my resource page at http://jlresources.blogspot.com/2006/03/some-resources-for-lgbt-jews.html
