1. I apologize in advance, but it seems to me that...
Robert ,   USA   (08.02.12)
with Israel being concerned with "existential" matters, with the Bible speaking so clearly about LGBT, and with Jerusalem being "the City of G_d", this parade is dangerous in many more ways than it is helpful.
2. nice to see
twice blessed   (08.02.12)
i hope next year I can join my gay brothers in Jerusalem
3. gays
samuel ,   kansas city, usa   (08.02.12)
as a christian i am disgusted by your gay parade in the holy city of jerusalem. i think the ultra orthodox are right and this event shouls be far removed from jerusalem. death to sin!!
4. Pagan Pride
Brod ,   USA   (08.02.12)
At a time when Israel is facing existential threat, it should be focusing its eyes on its Source of Strength-the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe-the GOD of the Bible. There should be NO Pagan Pride in the Land of Israel.
5. Then you wonder why Arabs are trying to attack us
HOW SHAMEFUL ,   in the holy land   (08.02.12)
6. At PRECISELY the same time as
(08.02.12)
Orthodox Jews worldwide are celebrating with holiness the Siyum Hashas Secular Jews are parading their tuma and immorality in the holy land of Jerusalem. May the merit of the holy Jews at the Siyum Hashem protect us from the evil and danger the immoral ones are causing.
7. disgusting
motty ,   usa   (08.02.12)
8. Ferocious Faygelach
The Prophetess ,   FL, USA   (08.02.12)
Suppose you Ferocious Faygelach strap on some ammo and direct your "prideful" energies to defend your country; instead of parading around like a bunch of chorus girls.
9. Proves my point!
Belinda ,   Texas, USA   (08.02.12)
The LGBT are out for nothing more than to offend others and put their rights above everyone else's! If this lifestyle is what they want, I can't change that. However, you don't see straight couples all but have sex in public but I see LGBT ALL the time! I would be offended with that type of behavior from gay or straighy couples. But, if you complain about a LGBT couple they're gonna scream discrimination & sue! I'm SICK of sitting in silence thinking they'll get a life & go away because they're not. Now they're taking it to the only place on earth that G-d specifically put His name! You can only poke your finger in G-D's eye so long before judgment falls! Hold on for the ride!
10. Thy shall not judge
Marcelo Freitas ,   Sao Paulo - Brasil   (08.02.12)
Thy shall not judge!Religion came up with gay judgement in a time when people lived merely 30 years, needed to reproduce before they die, for the sake of survival!Now in the year 2012 people live more than 100 years, orphan kids number millions, no parenting provide for them, in Africa,Asia,Latin America.Isnt it the time to religion stop caring about human being who are not gonna breed in a same sex marriage and start caring more about the world having 7 billion people of whom I believe 2 thirds live without ANY dignity!Wake up religion, either jewish,muslim or christian...there are far more concerns Hashem wants you to put your effort than a Parade to celebrate the pride of a few about their sexuality.Shalom!
11. No. 5
NYC Girl   (08.02.12)
The Arabs were trying to attack you long before there was a gay pride parade in Jerusalem.
12. What could they possibly be PROUD of????
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (08.02.12)
That a man has sex with another man???? That a woman has sex with another woman?? That a man or a woman changes gender to something not given at birth?? That bisexuals have mixed gender sex orgies?? That sex has no real definition. Whatever you want, you can be?? This movement is the most ridiculous thing ever conceived. It's disgusting and provocative to force themselves into Holy Jerusalem. And we wonder why there used to be laws against their behavior. It's becoming easier to understand.
13. 1 Thick, ignorant and dumb - that's what you are
Talula ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
14. Light up the city - be who you are and walk tall
Talula ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
You are all Gods creation. People who don't understand that, are probably in the closet gays and lesbians - or they are simply ignorant. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
15. #4 then again what is pagan?
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (08.02.12)
16. today they are up, tomorrow... wait and see
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (08.02.12)
OK, the gay have their day today, but we know that this life style is not acceptable even though it is politically correct. Tomorrow we go back to real life and it is the normal couples who will enjoy life in this world and also in the next. These 'gay' people will not only suffer in this world, they will suffer in the next. They are not 'gay' - meaning happy, but just the opposite, they are sick. Those who maintain proper man-women marital relationships come out the happiest. Those who today are 'proud' will tomorrow be crying!
17. I am ashamed of all this
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (08.02.12)
So we must all be enthusiastic about homosexuality or we are bigots and bashers? I do NOT advocate vioence toward homosexuals, nor do I suggests that they be ridiculed or humiliated. But why is it that so many social liberals act as if it is a settled matter that we must all "celebrate" homosexuality, or we are prejudiced. We were warned about trying to be like the nations. It can't last like this...
18. no fear of G-d at all !
emanuela Weiss ,   svwitzerland   (08.02.12)
I feel sorry for my own people who play with fire and thinking no one gets burned! my my...quo vadis Israel ?
19. No 3
(08.02.12)
What the haredim also want to be removed from the holy city and the rest of eretz israel are those places of avodat sara, like your churches, where you worship your wooden idols. That by the way is true chillul Hashem. So better THINK before you support intolerance.
20. Why do these gay people feel the need to provocat the haredi
Shalom Shalom ,   Yerushalayim   (08.02.12)
Seriously, alright, you are gay now what? No one cares, they just don't want their kids to see that kind of stuff and you have to respect it. You have tel aviv where you can be yourself, don't go because you get no attention to Jerusalem just to cause trouble. Besides,they use the taxpayer money for all the protection meassure ahead of this event.
21. A truly disgusting provocation by the cultural fascists
Jake ,   USA   (08.02.12)
22. Do Good
Carl ,   Lincoln, NZ   (08.02.12)
Allow the people to express their antagonism towards our Creator. Mankind can only perpetuate on the basis of a heterosexual relationship. They have decided to become extinct, and thus try to persuade many more to follow. Although they are the enemy, we are ask to do good and pray for them.
23. I'm glad...
AF-22 ,   Jerusalem   (08.02.12)
I'm glad to see my fellow brothers and sisters fighting for equality. "Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity.. The grave will supply plenty of time for silence." - Christopher Hitchens "Beshana Haba be'yerushalayim"
24. how devilish are gays in holy land
seka shalom ,   png, goroka   (08.02.12)
Israel u've bee a covenant people through obedient of your forefathers regarding torah now practicing wikedness that against torah. Same on u bigbro. .small bro. Png
25. Nir Barkat's to blame + No5 & No11
tarbouche ,   aswan   (08.02.12)
The mayor is a mere puppet , parades at shows, opera first nights and the like He is NOT in control, else he would not allow this antagonistic mob to parade their oddity and for many in Jeruslem , abomination. No % & No11 Both wrong ; most Arabs are raging homosexuals who sodomise their youth; Saudi is the gay country of the world.
26. Rather Ironic of you to judge from afar #8!
GalileeGal ,   Galilee, Israel   (08.02.12)
What makes you think that these "Ferocious Faygelach" don't serve in the army, many in combat units? The Israeli army, unlike the American one, is not homophobic and I would be very surprised if these young men and didn't serve. DO YOU??????
27. be proud LGBTQ brothers and sisters
Avramele   (08.02.12)
The majority of the straight Jewish world stands with you and affirms that you are and always will be part of our larger collective.
28. interesting how many fruitcake commentators this event
Henry from New York ,   Currently in Israel   (08.02.12)
brings out on YNet. They're here. They're queer. Get used to it.
29. It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!!
Jack ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.02.12)
30. "We have yet to reach normalization." Sidi noted.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.02.12)
Too True.
