http://www.CarPartMaps.com is all about peace in the mideast too
2. WHAT!!!
ilana   (04.10.07)
YNet! You should be ashamed! You have brought a new (low) level of degredation to the media. Huw could you print this article, especially the photos which belong on a pron blog?? I think you owe all your readers and explanation. Let the "gays" do as they wish, but do NOT subject your readers to a view of their perversions!
3. The homophobes are going to like this one but...
Rainbow In the North ,   Karmiel, Israel   (04.10.07)
Let's get one thing straight. This is not the view of all Gays! Yes, let's talk but first the Arabs must stop killing Israelis, denying our right to exist and working to destroy our country! Once they do this, if ever, then I don’t care whether they are gay, straight, green, blue or pink and only then can we start a dialogue! These Yanks forget that their Arab "friends" are holding Gilad Shailt, Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev and are also holding Ron Arad, Zacharia Baumel, Zvi Feldman and Yehuda Katz. Let them go and then and only then will there be time to talk!
4. Nobody forced you to read it
Chas ,   UK   (04.10.07)
Why read the article and look at the photo if you're so offended by people who are different to you?
5. Their flag is the rainbaw flag
Forrest Gump ,   Bubba Land   (04.10.07)
I am no homophobic and I do not give a flying f... about what they do in their bedroom but this if we follow this stupid idea then mix marriage between J ewish and Arab heterosexuals would be the solution. Thanks but no Thanks! People who have adopted the rainbow flag as their flag do not belong to our people anymore, not because they are gay but because their allegiance go to another flag and people... the gay people. SO thanks BUT no thanks.
6. Oh, the irony. It's almost funny as 'Gays for Palestine'
(04.10.07)
7. These sick people are the main cause for terrorism in world
Moshe ,   Israel   (04.10.07)
A good Jewish education will enlighten you with the facts.
8. yNet turning into a scandal rag
Suzy ,   San Diego USA   (04.10.07)
yNet, you're losing your credibility. I'm not here to read about a group of confused people whose repulsive behavior you are using to drum up business. I will be going elsewhere for news.
9. well, what the hell, why not
Cameron ,   USA   (04.10.07)
10. Does Ynet try Promoting Homosexuality?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.10.07)
That is the question one must ask when such homos kissing each other. There is no need to show such man kissing man photos for sucha news and if it is shown it means there are homos in Ynet who try to promote Homosexuality. Think other sexual deviances like those who only have sexual intercourse with Animals, Death bodies. if there was a news about any of them would you show a deviant intercoursing animal or a deviant doing something on cadaver? I would say Get worser ! you are Israelis! but I cannot as Homosexuality is a threat to all humanity and it must not be promoted anywhere. It must stay a shamful and sexual perversion.
11. only the women are complaining
john ,   nz   (04.10.07)
maybe, they are losing a few good men
12. CLOSE THE SITE!
(04.10.07)
13. To #7 Moshe Oh Yes, Moshe sick
Rainbow ,   Galilee, Israel   (04.10.07)
Yes, Hitler called the homosexuals sick as he did the Gypsies and the mentally retarded. But don't forget, Moshe, that he called the Jews sick too and he killed 6,000,000 with all the other “sick” people. Live and let live. I would suggest you join with the Muslim Fundamentalists and the Catholic Church in their hatred of Gays! I suppose you are more at home with wife beating and child abuse, so rampant here in Israel, than you are with two people of the same sex doing what pleases them and not hurting anyone physically or mentally? You’re a real asset to the homophobic community, the Ku Klux Clan and the Christian Red Necks in the USA. They really “love” Jews you know.
14. I am Gay but against this stupid initiative
GAY4Israel ,   Milan, Italy   (04.10.07)
This is the most stupid thing I have ever heared about! Go and look at Middle-East Gay board, all the Arab gays are against Israel and the Jews! There will be neither PEACE nor SEX on a daily basis between Jewish Gays and Arab Gays. They (the Arabs) hate us, so Israeli or Galut Gays should be careful when they let in a Muslim guy into their home. This is not racism, this is reality! There are many Gays in Israel and in the disapora who think that the interests and security of the Jewish state are more important than sex with those who hate us!
15. YNET GOING GAY
jo falafel ,   CANADA   (04.11.07)
i am ashamed of reading that there are so many AT ynet pushing the gay agenda .gays should be treated the same as everybody else and behave like normal heterosexual couples instead of promoting there way of life .keep it in the bedroom and no special parade for gays let's have a parade for gays and heteros united and celebrate as a jewish people
16. gayness is not deviant behavior
ilan ,   rishon   (04.11.07)
sexual deviance? some think Judaism is religious deviance. In fact, it once definitely was when it introduced the idea of monotheism. Think about that when you think homosexuality is deviant behavior - remember that if you're a Jew, you're a former deviant (and some think current deviant).
17. Gay article
American ,   USA   (04.11.07)
Just like any other type of religion that I don't agree with, I can take limited amounts, but when someone starts shoving it in my face and trying to force me to somehow convert to their way of thinking, I get upset.
18. Can you people even hear yourselves?
Vitaliy ,   Brooklyn, USA   (04.11.07)
"Keep it in the bedroom" - we do, but we want equal rights! Why don't you take off the kipa, shave the peyes, and take that menorah off the window? (I mean why do Christians have to see your Judaism?) As for the insane who claim that gays and lesbians are the cause of terrorism - I will not even comment on that - get treatment! Suzy! Where do you get off? Let me guess - nowhere... maybe, instead of complaining you should get your husband to the bedroom. If from your hate we conclude that you are not getting enough sex - quick - get him into bed before your husband decides that he'll be happier with a man :)
19. Sickening
Brod ,   USA   (04.11.07)
This is shameful and sickening.
20. "MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR" for the new millenium
Israeli Jew ,   Israel   (04.11.07)
To all you bigots out there: Have you learned NOTHING from Arab-Muslim reactions to heavy-handed anti-terrorist zeal? Disenfranchising people only makes them more vocal. Take this opportunity to mind your own business about something that can't actually hurt you, and there will be no need for public "pride" displays.
21. To#15 Jo Falafel: Gays DO Behave like Hetros
Rainbow ,   Galilee, Israel   (04.11.07)
They dance, they flaunt their sexuality, the drink and sometimes do bad things. In other words, Gays do the same things, good or bad, that hetros do. After all, Jo Falafel, we are human beings! When one sees the crimes committed by hetros and gays, well maybe the huamn race should get their own house in order. No one is perfect but we are all entitled to our views and way of life. What, its ok for a straight couple to stand almost naked in public, swallow one anothers' tongues and virtually copulate in the street while Gays are restricted to the bedroom? This is discrimination and as a Canadian, coming from the most holier than thou country in the world, you should know better! Live and let live!
22. Concentrate On Islamic Intolerence
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.11.07)
If this group has any intellectual honesty, they will concentrate their efforts on showing how intolerent Muslim society is towards homosexuals (& every other minority) - the dire circumstances of gays in Muslim countries is often life-threatening. Gays are jailed, often abused & beaten, & in some countries, can be given a death sentence.
23. MidEast P ie ce
Kyle Michel Sullivan ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.12.07)
The only way anyone will ever be able to get along is by opening themselves up to other people's viewpoints and needs and desires, and that is what this website strives to do. It is to be applauded, not condemned. This is the way of hope. This is the way to build our future rather than just tear it down. And only those who believe in complete annihilation -- not just of others but also of themselves -- would attack it. I pray Leonard and Lebow succeed in their endeavor.
24. STOP
Or ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (04.12.07)
You are crazy! You cannot compare two living, loving adults, no matter their sexual orientation, to people who have sex with animals or the dead. What if I was to say that all Arabs are nothing but dogs? Would that be true? No. Why can't people understand that hating people, regardless of why you hate, will never help society! And our religions, whether we be Muslim, Jew, Christian, or other, teach us that hating, no matter the reason, is completely wrong! You need to grow up and treat people as they deserve to be treated, AS PEOPLE!
25. mideastpiece.com article
les ,   new york   (04.14.07)
Hello ynet, I think you did and amazing job by highlighting this blog. I think these guys do a great job and have a wonderful aim. I am amazed at the anger and frustration in reaction to it. Not in the big general sense, that Gays are the unwarrented subject of unchecked bigotry and prejudice the world over, much like the experience of Jewish and Arab people, that goes without saying. But the idea that any energy spent on a way to try and find a solution to the mid-east conflict is honorable. Yes, I am a Gay Caucasian American. Uneducated,superficial, and unaware of the world outside of my small consciousness. That being said, I do believe that a voice outside of the sanctioned dipomacy could actually be of use, or lend a different voice to this conflict that is affecting the entire world. Let the people who have positive suggestions have their say. How can this hurt? Things don't seem to be getting anywhere as it is, what is one more voice? I urge people who spend their time on negative posts to think about using that time to help people who truly need help. You will feel better in the morning, I promise.
26. Dialogue for Peace
teddydouglas ,   new york, ny   (05.28.07)
The most common space for Jews and Arabs to interface in Jerusalem is the capital city's only gay bar. There, race doesn't matter and the theme is indeed "make love not war". Outside those doors, Jews and Arabs are careful to steer clear of one another. MidEast Piece has great potential to do good.
