Sorry to disappoint you. I am as heterosexual as they come, am very happily married and have children. I am compassionate towards people who are deserving of compassion. Most ersatz "Palestinians" are not that deserving, but that is really not relevant. My political views are based on international law and history. Do you have a problem with that? Why?

Are you a homophome, Mark? Or are you merely trying to suppress feelings you'd prefer not to have? It's okay; you're among friends here. You can tentatively open the closet door. No one will think the less of you. You seem to be full of hate. "You and his likes." I guess you mean the State of Israel (or the Jewish people) and homosexuals. My, my. Freud would have an absolute field day with you. It's okay, dear. Reach out and touch the one you love. Even if it is yourself.

This may come as quite a shock to you, but the majority of Israelis do not think that we need to have "people" like you in Judea and Samaria. Surprise, surprise.
34. He should stay
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (05.25.12)
To send him back would be like the British who ignored the holocaust and let 6,000,000 Jews die plus homosexuals when they new what was happening. A life is a life no matter what.
35. What confuses me
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (05.25.12)
When the argument is against the Haredi, Israel is and must remain a Democracy. When the argument is against homosexuals, Israel has lost its way as the Jewish state. I'm not arguing either way here. I just love to watch how the beliefs of some of the people as to what the State of Israel is supposed to be change depending on the subject.

Dont send him back, dont let him stay! But ask for supporters in other countries to take care of him!

That's actually perfectly natural and serves to underscore the most important aspect of Judaism -- we are encouraged to think for ourselves. It is quite normal to have conflicting opinions, or to feel one way about one topic and to feel quite another way about another topic. Judaism is not like Roman Catholicism, where free thought is actively discouraged (the pope will tell you what to believe, and anything else is heresy), and it is certainly not like Islam, which relies heavily on indoctrination with severe punishment for those who do not strictly obey the "teachings" of Islam, which are very narrowly construed. Free thought is good. Jews are not sheeple, nor are we easily cowed.

OF COURSE IT IS. IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A CRIME AT ALL IN THE JEWISH RELIGION. we jews do not decapitate and hang homosexuals in public squares as you arab muslim animals do. we are a humane religion. yours is barbaric and intolerant. period. enough said.
39. Proof
Lauren ,   USA   (05.25.12)
That islam does not prevent homosexuality, as muslims may claim.
40. Will there be any room left for Jews?
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
Let's see, Sudanese, gay muslims, any old everybody can claim any old thing and expect Israel to save them. Why not just give the land to a more liberal wing of the pals and be done with it Either keep what is yours and keep it Jewish or, lose it to any and everybody.
41. Sarah B is that you or another fake??
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
Would you also give the illegal Sudanese a permanent home? I'm thinking there are many gay muslims... Israel hasn't enough land for her legal citizens. mush less a crowd of raping non Jewish banditos.
42. # 20 Iian
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
I respect gays but, these people are not legal. What about those people who legally apply for visas? Are they not important enough to be given their fair turn while these illegals are skipped to the head of the line??
43. # 20
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
Male homosexuals were once stoned to death by Jewish laws. Interestingly enough, not females.
44. Male Muslims are circumcised.
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
It doesn't make them kosher or Jewish!!
45. # 16 Yossef
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
better to lack compassion than to lose your land and life. Agreed?
46. They can go to Iran and "Hang out"
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
whadda ya say?
47. # 19 LOL thank you!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
48. #26 - I see you haven't been paying attention
William ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
Because he arrived in Israel illegally, it negates any future benefits and decisions in his favor. While he claims him and his partner signed an agreement together 10 years ago, the cancellation of the right for Israeli citizens to bring family and relations into Israel occurred 12 years ago, thus over-riding their personal agreement. The only way he can win and stay in Israel is if there was no doubt he would be killed upon return to the hell they call the "Palestinian territories". And then, only on the compassion of the courts.
49. #27 - hmmm, anti-semetic AND a homophobe
William ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
Good to see you don't bottle your racist hate up inside you. Have you kicked any old ladies on the way to work today?

Ron ,   Philly   (05.28.12)
