1. Gay marriage
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.21.06)
If anybody gets pregnant, I want the exclusive!! Oh, all right, I'll be nice. Congratulations everybody! Don't do like most of the rest of us and end up divorced.
2. Well Done: Israel is a civilised country
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (11.21.06)
Well done. This shows that Israel is a civilised country that believes in Human Rights for all.
3. #2 Marriage means tax cuts to these gays
(11.21.06)
Tax cuts and marriage benefits belong to those human beings that will create children thus increasing society and benefits. Gays cant have children within themselves, they may adopt but that doesnt increase the amount of Jews in Israel, rather decreases.
4. Corruption Is Only Temporary
(11.21.06)
Vote in every unG-dly rule in the book, we will overturn them in good time, we will become the majority. Coming Soon: The Real Eretz Yisrael
5. Israel indeed is a democracy!
Gabriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (11.21.06)
They used to say "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East" and indeed it is:-) Congratulations!
6. What a Chillul Hashem (Desecration of G-d's Name)
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
from an Israeli so-called "High" Court who "thinks" they know and understand "everything" better and have more "compassion and love and tolerance" than G-d Himself. What a disgrace to this country! Shame on them!!!
7. Congrats!
The Raccoon   (11.21.06)
8. Another truly sad day....
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (11.21.06)
for Israel and the Jewish people. One more step towards Jews becoming irrelevant in a world of insanity.
9. What a bunch of girly men
Arnold Scwartznegger ,   Los Angeles   (11.21.06)
Israel is being led by a bunch of girly men. Are these soldier gays protecting Israel.
10. Where is the gay Herzel?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.21.06)
Gays need their own state.
11. Mazel Tov! Israel is a light unto the nations!
Abraham ,   Jerusalem ISRAEL   (11.21.06)
All Jews who unite as couples will now be recognized by the State of Israel. HaShem is proudly smiling!
12. HaShem (G-d) is Proud and Smiling
Baruch ,   Yerushaliem, Israel   (11.21.06)
All Jews are created in the image of G-d, and all Jews who marry deserve the same rights and respect. Siman tov v' mazel tov!

(11.21.06)
Whats next ... Aharon Barak marrying his Mother or Father
14. Will Aron Bark Take the Blame of G-d's Wrath Too?
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
15. #12 This nut doesnt even live in Yerushalayim
(11.21.06)
Its spelt Yerushalayim not Yerushaliem. What a POS, have fun explaining that line to the Heavnly Court
16. #11 Mazel tov!
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.21.06)
"All Jews who unite as couples" Abraham can marry his little sister now.
17. The courts does it again!
dovid ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.21.06)
The authoritarian court does it again! They rule on a law that they have no legal jurisdiction over. This is not over yet we will pass a bill in the Knesset and hopefully the Geheime Staatspolizei in the courts won’t over rule the duly elected officials in the Knesset. Let's respect the Jewish tradition that Israel was founded under. Marriage is only between man and woman. Any other hybrid is like a bond between an animal, tree or rock to a person.
18. To the Religious and the homophobes
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.21.06)
Instead of condemning the Gay Community you should look to your own and deal with sexual assault on children by "hetros" and Haredim as we saw on TV today! Live and let live or do you want to enact the "Jerusalem Laws" modeled on a city in Nazi Germany in 1935? Denial of the right to a union with a partner of your own choosing is an infringement of Human Rights. If you do not regard Gays as humans then we know where you have a have stood in Nazi Germany!
19. Nuremberg Laws Were Also Human Made Laws By The Third Reich
Eli ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
The enlightened Germans (who were known as compassionate and merciful towards animals), just like the enlighened Bagat"z (High Court) and their chief Aron Barak, passed laws in a democratic fashion in accordance with their personal feelings and beliefs, discriminating against Jews which led to the Holocaust and murder of 6 million Jews. This is to prove that human beings can err and the consequence followed later. How does history judge these Nuremberg laws?
20. #18 As Seen on TV!
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.21.06)
If seculars and homosexuals assault children and it is not shown on TV, does that mean it never happens? Gays have a huge domestic violence problem among themselves that can't be blamed on "intolerance" and "homophobia." Go ahead and call Kyle a "homophobe" but don't deny reality, all you lovers of tolerance out there in TV-land. Don't take my word for it: Google GLBT domestic violence.
21. Re #18: What whacked TV coverage
Steve ,   USA   (11.21.06)
B"H I am not sure what TV you are watching, but I recommend shutting it off. It is not helping you see clearly. Quote: Instead of condemning the Gay Community you should look to your own and deal with sexual assault on children by "hetros" and Haredim as we saw on TV today!
22. And Moses weeps....
Darren ,   Tampa, FL USA   (11.21.06)
For this applauded "Human Right" only puts further emnity between them and God and their sin, which they now applaud, will be the very sin that one day condemns them. This sin is no different than any other sin, but it is sin none-the-less.
23. Today's Ruling is CLEARLY a REVENGE Against the Prohibition
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
of the recent Gay Parade. Whoever doesn't see Aron Bark's sweet revenge is quite blind.
24. Gay Marriages
miri ,   ashdod   (11.21.06)
Great News! Congratulations to the country for finally showing some courage and to all those who directly benefit from the new ruling. And to those of you who see this as a desecration of G-d's name and the end of the world, you are truly pathetic and primitve. It's 2006 and we live in a democracy. Wake up and stop spewing hatred!
25. In case anyone still takes Kyle seriously ...
sk ,   USA   (11.22.06)
... just review #29 & #33 on the article below. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3329063,00.html Now he's trotting out his domestic violence "argument," which he has "supported" by an airy assertion that some web site agrees with him. Is such violence more prevalent among gays? Well, Kyle not only has not established that it is, but he did not establish it any of the 5 previous times he brought up the same bogus argument, which comes from the same fellow who claims that gays must "recruit" to fill their ranks (odd - who recuited Kyle?). This is also the guy who manufactured gay gangs in San Francisco in order to establish that gay people are somehow born hooligans. Amazingly, after absurdly misrepresenting the article he used for his "evidence," he insisted that he had not done so, but then dropped off the radar, no doubt to prepare for the next drive-by. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3329063,00.html
26. Um, H (23), do you think you might get SOME facts right?
sk ,   USA   (11.22.06)
It's "Aharon Barak," and he is no longer on the court.
27. Revisionists in clown suits (e.g. dovid, 17)
sk ,   USA   (11.22.06)
"Let's respect the Jewish tradition that Israel was founded under." What "Jewish tradition" was that, Dovid? The one that all citizens need to flight in the military and be loyal citizens of the Jewish state, as opposed to being burdensome shtetl-dwelling draft-dodgers and moochers? Israel was founded by secular Jews, and the early leadership derived disproportionately from the moshav. However, I wonder what you object to regarding authoritarianism, given your devotion to the rabbinate. After all, the rabbinate is hardly a manifestation of democratic governance. For that matter, if you want government by halacha, what is your problem with authoritarianism? Your real complaint is not authoritarianism per se but what the Court's substantive agenda is. Why don't you have the intellectual integrity to say what you really mean? As for your comment "marriage is only between man and woman," isn't this merely a fatuous tautology? Of course "marriage" in Israel currently is limited to man-woman couples. The issue is whether it *should* be. Do you understand the is/ought distinction? Maybe all that Torah study, coupled with the fumes from those burned garbage cans, have dulled your thinking.
28. 3rd try!!
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay   (11.22.06)
First, y-net would not publish my comment on this news story. Second, Y-net would not publish my complaint about not publishing my comment. NOW, 3rd try! By refusing to post my comment and then not even posting my complaint about not posting it... YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS IN MY ORIGINAL TALKBACK!!!
29. Y-net censorship!!
Richard ,   Open Range, USA   (11.22.06)
It is amazing, no, disgusting that I read comments with words like "fuck you!" that get past you censors, yet to quote G-d's Holy Words here get stopped!
30. #24...It is hate, and Scripture indicates God doesn't change
Rich ,   usa   (11.22.06)
Why do you insist on mischaracterizing the opposition to gay marriage as an indication of hatred? Those who oppose on religous grounds such legal unions being called 'marriage', do so out of sincere motives. The religous don't hate gays. The religous simply believe that "marriage" is an institution ordained by God to be between a man and a woman. The immutable or unchanging nature of God is established in Scripture and accepted in Judaism and Christianity. God has not changed His mind regarding the practice of homosexuality, any more than He has decided that liars are acceptable. It has nothing to do with hate.
