31. #3, you realize it was a gay PRIDE parade
Aaron B ,   Israel   (06.15.12)
"What gays do is their own buisness." Thats obviously true.. unless they are doing it in the public arena at a gay PRIDE parade. The Israeli government isn't using the gay community. Gay rights in Israel are very liberal (as well they should be). We shouldn't celebrate that fact in the media? You're right when you said it wouldn't make the Muslims like us. Thankfully, we don't compromise our western values to appease our enemies. The Muslim world hates gays far more than they hate Jews. Sodomy is still illegal in almost every country in the world Muslim world. The only 7 countries today, where homosexuality is punishable by death are all Muslim states. I'm proud that my country protects its minorities. If you have a problem with that you should just mind your own business.
32. Thank G-d Haredim do not join this immoral SODOMITE army.

34. To # 29: Please accept my intervention,
Israeli 2   (06.15.12)
corrections to you and "challenge". First my correction: I noticed that you use "pedophile" as a pejorative. The etymology of "pedophile" is one who loves children. Therefore all those who love children are pedophiles. What you probably meant is "pedosexual." One who sexually abuses children. Otherwise, call a "homosexual" a "homophile." Conclusion: A pedosexual is bad. Not a pedophile. Second, when you point to Hamelech David Hakadosh alluding that he was a homosexual, I must ask for your proof...simply becausethis is getting personal. The Torah is pretty clear on the disallowance of "mishkav zachar". I personally do not give a hootenan whether Alexander or Putin Badass is a homosexual. Also, in case you get your information from reform judaism or any other source, I would definitely suggest and reccommend getting the information from the Zohar. Shabbat Shalom, Sarah B.
35. To # 29
Orli ,   Jerusalem   (06.15.12)
You post on Ynet so often they ought to pay you per article. You are an opinionated big mouth and it never bothers you who you offend. Let's face it Sarah B...you haven't done anything noteworthy in your life but marry a plastic surgeon and hence the attitude of superiority. It's only money and the leisure time that gives you so much assertiveness. Try working. Your comment on David And Jonathan is lamentable. What on G-d's green earth causes you to believe they were gay? Did it say they were in the Tanach..no! Did it say they were in the Gemara...no! The Tanach is at least 2000 years old and the gemara a little less. The commentators didn't miss too much and not only that chazal assembled the books of the Bible. Considering that they were all religious men writing about religious men..what is it in your undeveloped brain that causes you to think that they would have injected homosexuality into these holy works. OH, I get it...because later day reform and conservative and atheist "commentators" have rewritten modern day sickness into the Bible to accommodate their gay friends. How intellectually dishonest can you get! I'm sure that you and your friends "wish" that David and Jonathan were gay....however nothing supports your twisted view.
36. #28, unless your peace plan is to annihilate every Arab...
Jake ,   USA   (06.15.12)
...you should care how Arabs perceive their Jewish neighbors.
37. #32
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (06.15.12)
"Thank G-d Haredim do not join this immoral SODOMITE army." Yea but some of these Haredim have been seen to frequent gay bath houses and gay porn theatres...so what's your point ?
38. Regarding # 29
Efrat ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (06.15.12)
Anyone can claim anything they would like about themselves and their life online with total impunity. Take everything with a grain of salt,at minimum. Do you truly think that people who have full lives spend a significant amount of time writing about what they supposedly have online? You do not even know that this "Sarah B" is a woman,much less whether ANYTHING she writes is true at all. One thing for sure,she knows absolutely nothing about the Torah! Efrat, Israel

Nobody likes you. One of Many
41. Homosexuality
RC ,   USA   (06.16.12)
If we believe in God (YHWH), and in the Holy Bible, then we cannot say that sin is good and deceive others into thinking sin is good. The Old and New Testaments clearly tell us that homosexuality is wrong (Genesis 19:1-25, Judges 19:22-30, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13), (Romans 1:24-27, 1Corinthians 6:9-11, 1Timothy 18-11, 2Peter 2:6-10, Jude 1:7). If you believe in God, then how can you condone what God says is wrong and sinful. If we are true believers then we should not cheer on what is bad. If we condone this sin we might as well condone all other sins. We all sin in one way or another, but we are told to repent.
