1. There are no gay beasts
John ,   Singapore   (10.31.06)
How degrading to the animals! But at least it shows that God has in the beginning create male and female, and it will be this way. Every gay parader comes from a male and female parent.
2. HaShem will break these beasts at Jerusalem
Prayer Warrior ,   Perth, Australia   (10.31.06)
After being enlightened by the Torah in the Holy Temple one of the first actions of Good King Josiah was to break the houses of the Sodomites and expel those beasts from Jerusalem. Whenever the land groans under oppression you will always find a herd of Sodomites trying to trample on the Covenant, but instead they are the ones who are always broken by HaShem. Are you a defender of the Covenant, like Good King Josiah? Get to Jerusalem! Are you ready to hammer the followers of abomination, like the Maccabees did? Get to Jerusalem! These are mere Greeks, victory is assured! To the barricades, defenders of Jerusalem! For every thousand on the ground there will be a million other righteous souls praying with them in other places. In every corner of the earth, decent men and women are outraged at the thought of the desecration of the Holy City. The Christians are already with us, and the eyes of the Muslims will be opened when they observe how we can stand united against abomination. Pray every day that HaShem will deliver Zion and then the entire Holy Land from the tyranny of the Sodomites.
3. No, they are only Human and they need help
John ,   NZ   (10.31.06)
To them it isn't a choice. They need to get the devil out of their body.
4. Hysteria from Religious Intolerant Right
Semsem ,   New York   (10.31.06)
The hysteria by the intolerant religious fanatic right is no different than the Mullahs in Iran.
5. a right wing parade led by PIGS
jonathan david   (10.31.06)
6. Bravo...God will see
Craig Payne ,   USA   (10.31.06)
God will see and all who take part in the protest will have absolved themselves of this affront to the Almighty. God knows the heart...the complicit will be held accountable.
7. Uncovered meat
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.31.06)
I object to the abuse and exploitation of innocent cows, donkeys and horses. Who will protect them from the horny gay mob?
8. Israel is no longer a free democracy if it lets this happen
Daniel Bleiberg ,   Los Angeles, USA   (10.31.06)
If I were Jerusalem's police at the moment, I would try appeasing both factions by canceling both the Haredi parade and the gay one. I would transfer the gay parade to Tel-Aviv, where people would not be as offended. Even though I object to holding a gay parade in the holy city, I still think the way these religous fanatics are reacting is dispicable. Calling fellow jews cows and threatening to kill human beings is in its own sense beast like behavior. Both the gays and the Haredim are extremly offending each other. If the gays want to be accepted, then why fuel a violent backlash from the religous community? And if the religous community wants the gay parade to be canceled, they should simply refer to more sane, democratic solutions. After, isn't Israel still a free, Jewish democracy, or has that been lost as well?
9. PARADE IN JERUALEM A TASTELESS PROVOCATION
TAL   (10.31.06)
10. Prayers Should Be Held DAILY Before This Abomination
H ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
We need Hashem's help to stop this abomination from taking place in the first place.
11. Cruelty to Animals
John ,   Maaleh Adumim,Israel   (10.31.06)
Great, in addition to the religious being homophopes and hypocrites, they are going to be cruel to animals (transporting them in crowded conditions through the city, walking in areas that are not natural for some of the animals, like cows, who will be intimidated....probably neglecting to provide them with water, etc.) BTW, bravo to remark #4.
12. A gay march in Jerusalem is exasperating stupidity. Gays
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (10.31.06)
want acceptance but a parade in Jerusalem brings only hatred separating Jew from Jew. The gay groups know this is not a parade but a monumental in-your-face against religious people and for what purpose? To promote hatred against them? Such stupidity is seldom seen. They are welcome to parade in Tel Aviv and yet they feel a blood lust to spit on Jews who do not share their views. I count gays and lesbians among my friends and acquaintances, and I don't believe any of them would be so blatantly stupid and hate-filled to parade in Jerusalem just to be provocative. It is sad, Jew against Jew, with absolutely nothing to be gained by any Jew.
13. What a sad, sorry bunch of mishaps these
Gay Day ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
people are. There can be any other sort of parade, but not a gay one? They have rights, they are just different. At least they don't swing chickens around their heads.
14. God created "adam and eve"
nmf ,   usa   (10.31.06)
not "adam and steve" is this another sodom and gomorrah?
15. To Kyle - Super funny!
Lisa Simpson ,   Springfield, USA   (10.31.06)
You are always right on with your talkbacks!!! Keep it up!
16. So it's Like with Like
Elokim ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
So then each parade will have the participants marching with their own kind!!!! Gays with Gays.... Haridem with the heifers and jackasses.... Although the gays will have cows with them in the form of chaps and vests..... :D They are Gods children as well!!! Haridem are no better then the next human in line....God will tell you that.
17. #7 Kyle Great!!!
Elokim ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
You state "I object to the abuse and exploitation of innocent cows, donkeys and horses. Who will protect them from the horny gay mob?" I believe you will be since that's where you cum from on their farm. As #5 says you will be a leader of that parade and #11 "in addition to the religious being homophopes and hypocrites" that means you will want first dibs at the animals. May God open your sad little eyes to the truth. Arrogant Ignorance!!!!
18. to #'s 4,13,16
jack ,   jerusalem   (10.31.06)
Simply put, the vast majority of the residents in jerusalem, whether its Jews, muslims or christians are all opposed to the parade. Is this considered intolerance ?? Maybe show some tolerance for the people who live here.
19. Intolerant are all those who oppose opposition
Jew ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
Amazing that all the Yofi nefesh here and so-called tolerant people are not tolerant to when it is against their views.
20. Anti-Gay Protesters
NYC Girl   (10.31.06)
First of all, you have no business abusing animals just to make a point about how stupid and intolerant you are. Secondly, if you're so offended by the sight of homosexuals, stay in your houses, pull down the shades, and hide your children.
21. #7, 15 & 18
Elokim ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
You say "Simply put, the vast majority of the residents in jerusalem, whether its Jews, muslims or christians are all opposed to the parade. Is this considered intolerance ?? Maybe show some tolerance for the people who live here." How is it intolerance on behalf of the parade?You are trying to tell me a one day parade is to much for you to handle? Get real....better yet ...plan a trip with your family away from the city that day. You will not see it and it will not exist since you never saw it. That is how you arrogant right-sided people work right....???? Please open your mind and let people co-exist in the same city. You might be surprised who you might see at these events. It may be your brother, sister or even you rabbi. God bless you...and your small mind. Arrogant Ignorance!!!!
22. GENERATION OF NOAH CONTINUES!!
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.31.06)
Those of us who keep up learning the portion of the week know that the generation of Noah was not known only because of intense robbery but also because of its sexual abnormalities( i.e. bestiality, homosexuality etc.). In other words, even after the great Flood, man, as a species, still maintains itself by excusing and justifying behaviors for which the world was once destroyed. Modernism has taken its toll. Progress has progressed nowhere. Man's illusion of justice and greatness continues blindly through history. Today the right to have an illicit parade is justified with democracy and human rights. They thought that way in Noah's time,too. The lesson we can learn is that each family must make its home an ARK by infusing it with the correct values of our tradition and pitching it with material that can withstand the evils of our time. Noah had no opportunity to pray for the people of his time because they were too deeply enthralled with their hideous deeds and it was too late for prayers to be effective. There were not even ten righteous men among Noah's generation that the prayers would work. Start building familial arks and help save the next generation from the sins of the previous one.
23. Stop the parade! Woooooooo!!!!!
Rick Flair ,   USA   (10.31.06)
24. #5 Right On! PIGS Are Very Suitable For This Event
H ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
25. #22 huh???
Elokim ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
Cum on now...."They thought that way in Noah's time,too." Where you there? I didn't think so. So please take what is said from that time with a grain of salt. It will make for a much happier ARK!!! Arrogant Ignorance!!!! Please open you mind and your heart to God!! All humans are created equal!!!
26. wasting my money
taxpayer ,   Israel   (10.31.06)
What a waste of my hard-earned money. Both sides! And I pity the police, as if they don't have enough to do with organized crime, terrorist threats, our leaders abusing their power, etc. etc. All the money and time wasted on parading and protesting and guarding paraders and protesters could be better spent on feeding the hungry, protecting battered women and children, eliminating organized crime, getting bullet proof vests for our soldiers, etc. etc.
27. #25
Abdul   (10.31.06)
"All humans are created equal." Thats true, but all humans are created straight too..thats why guys have different sexual organs than girls. But hey, you'll say that u have the freedom and right to choose whichever sex you prefer. and I'll tell u yes..but u don't have the right to oppose God..do u? God does not make mistakes...God has created humans to flourish in this world..with gays and lesbians, who will deliever babies?? God created everything for a reason..u should thank God that ur HAVE parents, and by parents i mean biological parents, coz if they were gay they wouldn't have gotten u. If Jerusalem tolerates gay parades around the holy sites, us Muslims will not tolerate it..it's not only holy to u, but to christians and Muslims too..so take care, we could have a religious row over it
28. Acting Like Beasts ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.31.06)
The Haredi community is acting like a beast by being so intolerant. What a crazy & essentially childish idea to parade animals. You ever hear the expression " people who live in glass houses" - many would consider the Haredi life-style less than normal & I'm being polite. They are hardly a group that should criticise anyone elses life-style, especially since their life-style is by choice which is not the case for gays. The parade is not the problem - the Haredim are the ones creating a problem with their threats. Their reaction is irrational, not based on any scientific understanding of human sexuality, & pandering to prejudice to gain influence. And it is shameful to enlist the support of Muslim & Christian clerics, people who are hardly an example of tolerance towards Jews. This is not Iran or Saudi Arabia & we don't need a "religious police" - secular Israelis already put up with a lot of crap because of Haredi interests.
29. #7 Kyle: Don't worry. Gay Pride is providing condoms
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.06)
Don't worry about the animals. The Gay Pride people are providing condoms for all cows, donkeys, sheep, monkeys, etc. They have also developed an informed consensual sex form for all animals to sign.
30. Gay parade
charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.31.06)
I'm not gay , nor religious [ how could i believe after the Shoah ] but tolerant to every one who is also tolerant to my opinions and way of life . This said what the haridim are doing can bring only more hatred towards them from the majority of Israel's citizen . I'm sure the gay's do'nt hold this parade to offend anyone . They want it to take place in Israel's capital . Jerusalem is not only a haridi city [ they did not much for her Liberation in 1967 ] but belongs to all Israeli citizens , also to gay people . We are living in a democracy , not a theocracy of intolerance . So DO NOT SPRAY HATRED
