Hope they , those rabbi's , will agree that this parade , who happened each year since 2002 , is not a provocation . The open house will have no problems not to act violently , not to act as the haridim are doing for the last couple of days .

the police's "forcibly dispersing the crowd"? They act as violent as they did in the Amona Expulsion.

THIS STUPID " GAYS PARADE " COST A LOT OF PROBLEMS , ISRAEL NO NEED THAT ! STOP "PARADE" NOW !

This display of violent hatred happened on a day that Haredim do not acknowledge, but that is a major event on the modern Jewish calendar, the anniversary of the assassination of Yitchak Rabin z"l. His assassination was the direct result of incitement by misguided religious leaders against those who represent other ideas. How much blood has to flow before all Jewish leaders realize their responsibility to teach their followers that the sancity of human life is the greatest value? Kol HaKavod to those leaders willing to meet with the leadership of Open House and to all those who speak out against the use of violence.

Any extreme religious person who tries to push his/her beliefs onto others is bad for everyone. These fanatic, extreme orthodox Jews are no different then the taliban (except they don't go around killing people), but in principle, they are the same. Jews here in the US look down upon these people.

Anyone who wishes to be intellectually honest realizes the protest against the defilement of Jerusalem is about righteousness, not hate. The only hate involved might be on the part of the Gays who so hate God & the religious because he proclaims their lifestyle an abomination. Jerusalem is God's city...How dare the perverts insist on this affront to the Almighty! What utter selfishness. Keep demonstrating...and may all righteous in Israel join in and cause the 'gay' parade to be stopped.

all this is doing is inflaming violent passions. the cancellation will hardly cause a ripple. but the violence that will be caused by this public flaunting of sexual proclivities in jerusalem will be endlessly noted. israel does not need more division amongst its people.

There is a phrase I learned in yeshiva: 'Chilull Hashem', which means embarassment to God. These Haredim are an embarassmant to the Jewish people. They are no better than those on the other side of the fence who use similar tactics to achieve their goals. Like all fanatics, they do not tolerate other ways of living, they do not respect the freedom of others.

Gays can dress and behave like haredim and haredim can't dress and behave like gays.

its about dictatorship and forcing your views on other people who want to assemble peacably, modestly (yes, there isn't any excessive skin at these events) and respectfully. The violent protests must stop. We will march next Friday one way or the other. Its our beloved Jerusalem too.

In Israel the highest law authorities are High Court, Knesset, Government who act in accordance with Israel's law to which they swear an oath of a lines. The protest reach rebellion, which should be dealth with full force of law.

Is the state of ISRAEL so corrupt that even the 7 Noahide laws is too much for them to observe?

speaking about forcing, dont force on the 100% jerusalemites anti paraders the private usage of your ass religious, seculars traditional, black white, jewish arab, christian, old, and young DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS :_))))) Shalom shalom

I don't know about gay parades in Israel...maybe they are much less offensive than in America. But regardless, why do you feel compelled to march in Jerusalem of all places? Isn't there a yearly 'gay' parade in Tel Aviv? Regardless of your personal lifestyle choices (and I don't care what you do behind closed doors), you must acknowledge that Jerusalem is "special" to tens of millions of people...isn't it you who insist on "forcing" your views on others by attempting this parade in a city many view as God's own - regarless of the upheaval caused? Andy, I don't understand your lifestyle, but I do know Scripture condemns it; you have a heavy cross to bear which I wouldn't wish on any one...but I think you should think very hard about the true motivations for this event.

Israel, the land where Jesus walked is now allowing gay parade. If this is allowed to hapen, it simply means that it is receiving God's curse. Because the story of Sodom tells that God destroyed that city simply for this type of sin. Let this evel be stopped immediately so that people can find the peace of God.

FIGHT THE REAL ENEMIES OF ISRAEL: IRAN, HAMAS, HIZBULLAH, AND ANTISEMITISIM--NOT EACH OTHER.

Craig is a well-known missionary Talkbacker.

i think religious people should focus on respecting and love, not in hate and violence. eventhough if the gay parade doesnt happen gays already won, churches gave it too much importance. and if they kill people at the parade that will show how sick those churches are by killing in name of god, thats stupid.

No, Debra. The real enemy is the G-dlessness. And that is what makes Israel vulnerable to to any extern enemy. By giving green light to this abomination Israel is provoking the Almighty and withholding His protection! Only have the past transgressions and the consequences in mind!

for me the only one who have posted honest and valid comments base on what he really believes. he shows us that humans have the capability to think and not be guided like sheeps. certantly i belive he has gave himself the opportunity to study the bibble and meeting gay people and by that he made his own opinion. most of you are so closed minded that wont never give yourself the chance to prove you are wrong, simply because ignorance its safer (sorry about the mispelling i am still learning english)

You breeders do all the "hard labour" (ha ha) of bearing and raising the brats, while we get to choose the brightest, the most talented and attractive to join our elite class of creatives. We are your overlords!

If you want to know whether G-d wants homosexuals in His land or His holy place, read Deuteronomy 23:17 and 18. It is not a pretty picture. If you choose to reject it as untrue, it is your word against G-d's...

You think all we do is raise "brats" - weren't you born to a mother also!? Someone raised you...!...And the hardest job in the world is the work of a parent. A parent has to be a doctor, social worker, mediator, teacher, cook, babysitter, housekeeper, accountant, artist, counselor, judge, etc. - and still work his/her actual profession in order to make money for the family. Studies and research have shown that a stay at home parent works 3-4 times as much as a person who goes to work every day. And I'm sorry, but why don't you first try giving birth to a baby or two and let's see how you come out of it!!!

The jewish people should congratulate and support the ultra-religious they are sacrificing there lives to help save there brothers and sisters from the world hatred and war that can erupt if god-forbid the parade goes along as planned.The latest war showed that the Israeli army dosn,t have the strength to fight any wars (They are just trying to show off there strength on harmless unarmed haredim)

I know that God is weeping over Jerusalem. Repent, before it is too late. "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in our sins: for if ye believe not that I am HE, ye shall die in your sins". It is a fearsome thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.

I would like to hear from you after you meet a Haredi jew. Your anti-"semitism" or anti-religous feelings are in the same lines of some people in Borat's movie

Reminds me of Khristallnacht. Being Jewish, I find it amazing how predjudiced many of my orthodox brothers are. Makes me fear another Holocaust.
