Unworthy of any serious response. By the way, is it a mere coincidence that Mahmud Ahmadinejad's picture appears directly below this story? Benizri & Ahmadi, perhaps this is a match made in heaven...

I am sure that earthquakes happen when spiritual leaders become crossdressers in skirts

Perhaps the best way to prevent further earthquakes is to prevent hateful ignoramuses, such as Benizri from serving in the Knesset.

Since the two gay guys who redecorated my dining room last month couldn't even move a china cabinet without help, should I assume that they could have accomplished the task without lifting a finger had they only been Jewish or does it take a certain number of gays for different magic tricks, regardless of religion or national origin? Since I'll need to have a couple of heavy pieces moved in the living room next week, a quick reply would be appreciated. As much as I'd hate to find another crew for that living room, but if we shipped all the gays in the US to Antarctica, would that do away with earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes around here? If that's the case, will science then acknowledge what really made the dinosaurs disappear? Since there were no humans around back then, maybe god simply got seriously upset with all those abominably gay TRexes. A grown and supposedly educated man spouting such BS would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

I am truly surprised that you did not say that he was calling for the deaths of all gays, as the culling (killing) of poultry with bird flu is how he SAID he wanted it dealt with.

When the Talmud tells us that the Second Temple was destroyed because of baseless hatred, we all nod our heads and agree. But when the same Talmud tells us that other disasters have their root causes in other sins, as in this case, we say, "Can't be. Nonsense." It is axiomatic in Judaism that G-d rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. One way of punishing the wicked is via natural disasters such as earthquakes. But, what about all the innocent and good people who are affected by the same disaster? The Zohar tells us that when the Angel of Death has been given the green light to do his business, he will not make any distinction between the good and bad, and everyone in the way will be game for him.

Its sheer chutzpah coming from a person being investigated for having taken bribes which the Torah says blinds the ''just'' which Benizri is far from,and the best he could do to prevent earthquakes, would be to apologize and resign, he won't be missed

especially before you start making with the crazy. Typos just make you look more insane.

If one is Gay; one is Gay. One is what one is. It more unfortunate that this unrestrained fool of a Keneset Member, Slow-Mo Binizri, who also happens to be a corrupt Shas(as any and all who are similarily situated, is) member. One would think that anyone who is a party unfailingly willing to risk the status of Jerusalem and the nation itself, would refrain from bringing attention by blazingly stupid and unsolicited comments. MK Member Benizri's remarks cause a bright light to shine on his roachlike persona, and call into question the legitimacy of Shas as a polotical entity. Blame yourself Slow-mo, and anachronistic masters at Shas HQ for high stakes crapshooting, with Jerusalem and even the nation safety it'self as your double down fool's bet.

He can't wait to be sentenced to jail for the corruption he was involved in. He is sure to get a good dose of jail house rock.

It is far more likely that the cause of the earthquake is Shas remaining in the Olmert coalition. Actually, I'm surprised Shas MK's have not been struck by lightning - that they have not is surely proof of G-d's infinite mercy even towards religious hypocrites, bigots, & deceitful advocates of intolerence towards fellow Jews.

rough sex!!!!

We have been getting screwed by these devil worshipers. They have sold us out time after time. They will hopefully be banned by the next government and their leadership exiled from our Jewish land.

the first does not have the power of the second to enforce very similar things

why is it that when a natural disaster happens in Israel it's god's work, but everywhere else in the world it has no special meaning? GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE! an earthquake is just a f***ing earthquake! Stop looking at the world through the blinding religious eyes and wake up to reality already!

The fact that a member of the Knesset, someone people voted for and managed to elect, really believew this creepy nonsense scares me a lot! What kind of person, living in 5768 / 2008, can even remotely conceive of a link between homosexuality and earthquakes? A lot of things going on, urgent matters to be debated and properly adressed, and he waste everybody's time speaking such nonsense! It's medieval, kind of a jewish taliban!

Ahmedinajad claims that there are no gays in Iran. Does Iran suffer from earthquakes?

I never understood this whole thing about fault lines causing earthquakes. Now I get it. If you "sin" the fault lines are activated and the ground shakes. So I ask Shlomo Benizri, why hasn't this happend for other "toayvot" that are ongoing in Israel??

God does punish sin, and He sends warnings such as weather disturbances, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. to bring people to repentance. God hates all sin, and homosexuality falls into that category. 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 clarifies this, as well as Leviticus 18:22. Jesus warns in Matthew 24:7 in particular of signs of the end of the age, and earthquakes in various places is one of those signs. Here in America, we have had a rash of tornado outbreaks, both in January and Feb. The globe is witnessing strange, extreme weather; just as Christ foretold 2000 years ago. The total devastation and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was an example of God's hatred toward sin, the sin that brought this destruction just so happened to be homosexuality, sexual immorality of every kind. This man wasn't far off the mark in saying that God sends wrath because of sin, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. People everywhere need to repent of wickedness and sin and cry out to God to save them. It will get worse before it gets better.

But Sodomites parading in the Holy city is not helping. G-d will destroy that foul golden pimple on the mount by His own hand!

...are caused by geological stresses, not childish myths. Also, the sun isn't a giant burning egg, even though lots of people were REALLY sure that it was.

THIS,.....from the lips of an MK ? I am stunned !!! Before any more good comes to Israel, the Knesset will have to purge itself of its fanatics, flakes, goons, bufoons, shm*cks and dumb clucks. Ahhh, .... feh !
