1. Will the Deputy Mayor
Sagi   (07.28.10)
march symbolicly at the head of the parade ?
2. Maybe these people should be made aware of what is going on
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.28.10)
http://www.safehaven4donkeys.org/about_us/index.php There is plenty of animal abuse in the fundamentalist communities, both Jewish and Moslem. Both consider animals filth.
3. If the Donkeys desire this then they can say so
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (07.28.10)
If the Donkeys desire this then they can say so, otherwise leave the bigotry at home.
4. Donkey Parade...Gay Parade.....VERY CONFUSING !
Benjamin   (07.28.10)
5. We had them already last year
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.28.10)
when those mea shearim guys were assembled . Now then can mount their homonymes . Will be funny !
6. The Deputy Mayor makes an ass of himself.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.28.10)
Has anyone ever tried to count how many idiots we have in gov't.?
7. thanks for confirming who the ass is, who? why the leader of
ralph   (07.28.10)
of the ass parade
8. wondering
salt n pepper ,   mothership   (07.28.10)
I just wondered how many gay donkeys there are and if they would start a parade oposing the deputy majors rally
9. Too bad, I am not in Israel. I would surely attend parade.
USA   (07.28.10)
What a great idea. A donkey parade. I love it. LOL. Another great idea put some rainbow flags on top of the donkeys.
10. I would also attend a straight pride parade.
USA   (07.28.10)
Because I am straight and proud. Please organize a straight pride parade.
11. Not a very clever move to use innocent, oblivious donkeys.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (07.28.10)
what did they do to this radical homophobe? I think Ahmadinejad, mashaal and nazrallah and co would get along very nicely with the likes of these Israelis. Israel is leading the way to a better future for the entire Middle East, why can't even some of their own see it FFS?! Idiots like this are doing Israel an injustice in other circles, Israel = EQUALITY 4 EVERYBODY, in direct CONTRASTS TO IT'S BARBARIC NEIGHBOURS - that is a BLESSING. G-d bless Israel and EQUALITY EVERYWHERE!
12. 10 - I'm sure the White Pride movement in the USA...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.28.10)
... would organize one if you suggested it. But somehow, I don't think a Nice Jewish Boy like you would be invited!
13. Perhaps they should up the ante
Gustavo ,   Brazil   (07.28.10)
and do an IDF parade.
14. You miss the point the DM is making
OJ ,   USA   (07.28.10)
The necessity of the parade is long gone. These people are determined to shove their way of life in everyones' faces, so the DM is saying donkeys have pride as well. There is no reason the parade should be in J'lem of all places. The place that the Orthodox Jews consider most holy. Why there? Do it in Tel Aviv, where more people will enjoy it.
15. Gay donkeys?
Shimi Kalev ,   Boston, MA   (07.28.10)
Wait, are the donkeys gay or straight?
16. 10
Israel   (07.28.10)
Agree 100%
17. Don't Rain On my Parade
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (07.29.10)
What a stupid idea the Mayor is making a donkey (Monkey) out of himself. Let the parade go ahead and let them enjoy themselves once a year.
18. STRAIGHT PRIDE PARADE- IF THERE IS ONE i'LL BRING MY DOG
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (07.29.10)
ARE YOU'LL DOG FRIENDLY ?
19. Gays
Moshe R ,   Ariel, Israel   (07.29.10)
I have a brilliant idea for the gay people. Why don't gay men and gay women get together and live happily ever after?!? Isn't that brilliant??! I mean their both gay right? Perfect fit. If you couldn't tell, I'm just being silly.
20. As a straight from gay West Hollywood -- it is kinda funny!
(07.29.10)
Being proud of being gay is like being proud of being lefthanded. Who cares?
21. Makes Israel look intolerant and primitive like Iran
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (07.29.10)
This makes Israel look intolerant and primitive like Iran.
22. goodness! all the children want to do is have a little fun!
straight granny ,   Jerusalem   (07.29.10)
so why does everyone want to turn this parade into a political victory? Perhaps it has to do with their fear and lack of understanding. These children come out in beautifully colored clothing with their bright pretty flag. They are spirited and happy...I'm going to the parade...I'll be the wiry haired granny with the big multicolored flag! to all the gay and happy children have a wonderful time!
23. Ronen Madzini...are you GAY?!!
Israeli 2   (07.29.10)
I have a very negative impression of gays especially with their attitudes and censorship. They are not only on the biggest inferiority complex trip they are very evil doers too. Too bad you have very few supporters
24. #4 Confusing?? Not at all. It's just one jackass looking at
another jackass walk ,   in a parade!!!!!   (07.29.10)
25. #22 Disagreement w/ones life style does NOT=fear/lack of un-
standing, nor discri ,   mination. Agree?????   (07.29.10)
26. Question Please ?!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.29.10)
Why does United Torah Judaism need the donkeys?!! isn't enough they will be there?!
27. oh you are all a bunch of jack-asses!!
(07.29.10)
28. Itzhak Pindrus is a despicable and vile excuse for a man
Talula ,   Israel   (07.29.10)
29. #26 Absolutely correct Salma!
Talula ,   Israel   (07.29.10)
Not sure why they need to take poor donkeys with them when they do a great job making asses of themselves - they don't need props. I can't say I'm shocked - what do you expect from a bunch of primitives who swing live chickens around their heads. They have no respect for anything - they are a lower life form.
30. 21 seems we are heading that way
ISRAEL   (07.29.10)
However, you should know that a large majority of the Israeli population support our gay community.
