1. Please, Please Israel!, can you take all of them, for good

2. "All I want is to be with my boyfriend"
5th generation ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
So he comes to this side of the fence. All you pro-Palestinians out there - do that math for a minute. This story could not, of course, have worked the other way around geographically.
3. "Temporary permit" ?
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (03.25.08)
Not a very secure basis for a relationship - they should both get the hell out of Israel, before they get separated; come to the UK!
4. And you wonder
chaim ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
Why this country is in the state that it is in? What is an abomination in Vayikra is still an abomination in 2008. God's Word does not change.
5. Choice of lead photograph
Shalom   (03.25.08)
YNet - you really know how to choose your pictures, don't you? Do we really need to see two men kissing with our morning coffee? By the same vein, there are so many photographs of an angelic looking, Rabbi Eliashiv, yet you managed to dig out a photograph makking him look like every anti-semite's icon.
6. t.el-aviv lover
mike T ,   jerusalem , israsel   (03.25.08)
please put them back into the closet .. there they can do whatever they want to do.
7. ... prior mail continued.
mke Tg ,   israel, jerusalem   (03.25.08)
I always thought YNet was a family website.
8. # 4 Chaim, thats your religious belief not theirs
Simon ,   TA Israel   (03.25.08)
Gods Word? Well thats your belief, so do you think that because of your so called religious belief that gives you the right to slander and judge and incite hatred toward others that do not agree or accept your religious belief s? It seems that this couple is setting the example, all they wish to do is to lead their lives in peace and love regardless of nationality or religious faith. Where as you can only condem and slander and incite hatred.
9. good move!
Jeannie ,   Beersheva   (03.25.08)
Alast, someone who's not afraid of making a brave descision. I wish the couple well.
10. mechigene YNET putz
Charles   (03.25.08)
IS THIS NEWS ??
11. YAFUT NEFESH
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.25.08)
Here is a prime example of how our Herzelists push their secular hellenist ways down our throats. What people do in their bedroom is their choice and their business. Ynet and media co are constantly pushing their lifestyle choices dafka in everybody's face in order to show their disdain and dislike of anybody with a Torah based lifestyle. We can look forward to articles reporting to us that reversing circumsission is the next trend that is popular among our Herzelist. This is the real 5th column in this country with as only goal to dejewadise this land in order promote their hellinist agenda.
12. LET'S SEE, FRUM PEOPLE ARE NOT....
(03.25.08)
SERVING IN THE I.D.F. ,GEE I WONDER WHY ? THE VICE P.M. SUCKS TOUNGUE AND ASHKANAZI ASSERTS THE MILITARY IS NOT POLITICIZED!
13. Next time Pals rant about Israel denying them human rights..
Tahl ,   Israel   (03.25.08)
They should take a good look at themselves, and at their own atrocious human-rights records. Ordinary citizens are beaten up and terrorized by goons and armed militias, women there are routinely murdered for "family honor", gays are murdered for "sinning against Allah", and the "oppressive, murderous, occupier" of Israel, all of a sudden is their safe haven!
14. Be glad we live in a society where this is possible.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.25.08)
Believe me, none of you would want to live in a country where this would not happen. You can approve or disapprove of anyone's life-style & that is your personal right. But I think you would all agree that living in the inhuman, intolerant, barbaric countries that make up our region would not be pleasant. You would not be pleased, I think, if a friend, a cousin, perhaps your own son or grandson, was condemned to death, beaten & abused, imprisoned, or otherwise mistreated because of being gay. Be very, very glad that we live in a far more humane society.
15. !@#$ THEM ALL IS ONLY A STATEMENT
(03.25.08)
THAT YNET IS ALLOWED TO MAKE EVERY DAY BUT, METIPHORICALLY OFCOURSE !
16. HEY # 8 YOU TELAVIVE SCHUMCK
DIANE STEIN   (03.25.08)
ONLY A TELAVIV RESIDENT COULD MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT!
17. What an idiot that...
David ,   USA / ISRAEL   (03.25.08)
What an idiot Maj- General Yosef Mishlav is. He has no clue of the tricks the Palestinians would pull. They will try anyway they can to flood Israel with their people, gays, sick or dying. Why didn't you send the one from Tel Aviv to Jenin instead. Stupid Israeli leftists love sensational media news, world opinion is not going to change, you are wasting your time endangering Israeli lives with your poor choices
18. gay in jenin
rama ,   jenin???   (03.25.08)
gays in jenin with israeli counterpart is a strange story.jenin which had bitter experience in april 2002 camp war cannot host palestinian gay.The news are fabricated, or the said gay could not find a husband(boyfriend) to him in PA.Hence he seeks asylum in tel aviv, for his satisfaction which could permit him to live with his beloved man????
19. To Chaim # 4
Hiram ,   Sfat   (03.25.08)
Chaim Adolph Hitler held the same reasoning ( although not based on religious grounds) . This resulted in homosexuals being amongst the first prisoners to be incarcerated in Dachau ( along with communists, petty thieves etc....) Live and let live Chaim..Who are you to decide what is fit and what is not fit ?
20. To David, 11
Hiram ,   sfat   (03.25.08)
David....you are either to young to fully understand understand or to old and you have forgotten. If it was not for all of those "hellenists seculars" ( who gave their lives for the country) there would be NO ISrael. Israel has NOT Been created by religious congregation, it has been built by seculars, on the basis of a JEWISH concept which certainly included religious basis but was above all a Jewish Ideal ( see the Basel congress ) Your post looks like the one we can see from Teheran to Malaysia, in which Islamist of all kind explain to the world the basis of Jihad......Mind your own business and try to be an authentice Shiner Yid yourself before you comment on other people's behaviour.
21. YNET IS SICK. WHY DISH THIS OUT ?
SAM ,   RAMAT CHEN   (03.25.08)
22. CHARLES, SURE IT'S NEWS !
CYNTHIA ROMAN   (03.25.08)
HAVEN'T YOU SEEN ONION NEWS NETWORK ?
23. it's a very good first step !!
Ben ,   MontrĂ©al, Canada   (03.25.08)
Wonderfull, it`s very encouraging to see that IDF is able to make diffrence between terrorist and 2 personns that love each other and want to live together. As long as the decision doesn't treath Israel security . it is a good step.
24. shame on u IDF AND ISRAEL
HAIM ,   MTL CANADA   (03.25.08)
25. The gay lobby
Raphael ,   Netanya   (03.25.08)
remains a staunch supporter of the palestinian cause and of the arab ethnic supremacy, despite the deadly prejudice and persecutions they face in muslim countries. Guess the reason?
26. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
GRRLOZ ,   Sydney, Australia   (03.25.08)
What a wonderful story to come from Israel. Bravo to all involved in giving this man a new life with his partner in Tel Aviv. If only this could happen for so many more Palestinian Gays - to be able to live, free from the dangers of fear, enforced marriage and hatred. Thankyou and behatslacha to you both......today the world seems like a better place.
27. DISGUSTING, SHAMEFUL, OFFENSIVE!!!
Tom ,   San Francisco   (03.25.08)
AND WITH A PALESTINIAN!! DISGUSTING, SHAMEFUL, PURE ABOMINATION!! Could you spare your readers from this junk type of article with this abomination? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, WE DO NOT WANT TO READ THIS DISGUSTING TYPE OF ARTICLES ON THIS ABOMINATION!!! Israel needs more inhabitants! It is not with this kind of abomination and sick values that this goal of repopulate Israel will be achieved! Put more articles of this type on your site and I stop completely reading your online newspaper! Is it clear? Do you get the message? I challenge you to post this message.
28. God dammit stop with gay articles!!!!
Igor ,   Munich, Germany   (03.25.08)
Ynet is running out of stories again...
29. YO, WHERE'S CLICKY AND YACKOFF THE RESIDENT MUSLIM GAYS?
petra ,   USA   (03.25.08)
THIS IS THEIR 'LOVE STORY'. THEIR CONSTANT ATTACKS ON ISRAEL MAKES ME THINK THEY MUST BE ASHAMED TO POST SEEING HOW 'THEIR' SIDE MURDERS GAYS. EACH ONE IS A FLAMING HYPOCRITE.
30. to 27. Tom San Francisco
Hiram ,   Sfat   (03.25.08)
Dear Tom, Like it or not , this is a piece of news because it has political implications. Judaism, like Islam has a special appreciation of "moral stuff" because for people like you, and those other "mollah type" tolerance is a word that has no application.....Please, in memory of those who died in the Shoah JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS, measure you words .....Gays were one of the first target in Nazi days, just because they were Gays, just like you are Jewish. Do not , i repeat, do not give lessons....I am not convinced you , yourself lead a life fully in line with the teachings of the torah , or even in an easier fashion , with the Noachite basic laws of life in society .
