Why do the Haredi feel provoked? They can stay in their Yishivot and homes. It is not as though the parade goes through Mea Shearim. As for your comments that gays have Tel Aviv, are you suggesting they have no right to live everywhere in Israel and be treated with respect? Or are you suggesting that the political capital of Israel move to Tel Aviv? After all the embassies of almost every nation are in Tel Aviv. Let's give up Jerusalem as Israel's capital and just make it a religious center.... As for you comment on taxpayer dollars...that's the most laughable and rude comment you've actually made. Haredim are basically shnorers of the State. Refusing military service getting social welfare money and doing nothing in return. If you want to start harping on using taxpayer money...let's start a real conversation on who is spending more and contributing less as a group. Gays serve in the IDF and protect Haredi butts from having J'lem as part of Palestine and or Jordan.

You're right it was Adam and Chava. It was also David and Jonathon: "צר לי עליח יהונתן נעמת לי מאד נפךאתה אהבתך לי מאהבת נשים" or in English : "I am heartbroken over you Jonathon my brother you were my great delight. Your love was more wonderful to me than the love of women." So frankly your bible thumping is bumping into a major tree

I never had gay friends nor have any love for them BUT Israel is a Democratic country thats close to EU and USA in its lifestyle and NOT Muslim countries that surround us. If Israel wants to be like the west, then gay parades should be allowed, its called freedom. And ANYTHING that makes haredi angry is Welcomed by me, if I knew that they get a heart attack if they sae naked men/woman parading in their neighborhood I would happily arrange a fully naked parade just to see them suffer and get heart attacks. The only REAL danger to land of Israel is the Haredi vermin that sucks up our tax money, wastes milliards of tax payers dime on their stupid, useless and primitive "education", brainwashes secular kids to join their sect, not contributing to ANYTHING (army, science, tax payments). The future of Israel is in separation of religion and state, and separation of Haredi from the normal hard working majority. peace

People will do what they want to do, right or wrong in the eyes of Hashem! But do we really need a parade? Do we need to celebrate and accept things that are against our beliefs in the name of "tolerance"? I think the answers are obvious.

serving in the Army or paying taxes does not allow you to sin. This is an abomination ! They should all get back into the closets and run to get mental help !

what an antisemitic boor.

There is no god. Stop believing in children stories and basing you life and morality around them. You claim you religions are religions of love, yet all you right here is hate. Such vile people you are. I am glad I am no longer one if you.

many have fought and died for Israel do some research before you spew garbage.

Love and sex are two very different things. To say one loves someone dearly does not necessarily mean you have sex with them. You might want to check out: Was King David gay, at (Tektonics.org). Maybe you will have second thoughts about the way you are interpreting the scriptures. The Holy Bible does not condone homoseaulism. Also you might want to take into consideration that homosexualism was an abomination to God and in those times carried a death sentence (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13) so why would God choose David to be king of Israel and also a prophet of God if he was bi-sexual? That would be totally contradictory. King David was a sinner but I doubt that he was a homosexual. I’m tempted to get funny and imagine a queer David confronting Goliath, but I won’t.

"Do we need to celebrate and accept things that are against our beliefs in the name of "tolerance"?" Yes, you do. Your opinion isn't god-given and infallible, and you are not the only human on this planet. To answer otherwise to the question is the essence of nazism and fascism. Who are you to deny others their rights and opinions, especially when considering our history, just because they're different than you?

This bizarre event is a shame for every god-fearing man and woman in the world.

It is you that should run for mental health help. Your overt homophobic reaction indicates that you have a real problem, that is in addition to your self advertised ignorance.

This so called "commandement" doesnt exist you lier!!

What proof do you have that there is not a god or higher being of some sort?

I might find your comments immoral whereas you consider LGBT people to be immoral by their very nature.

I am not spewing hate and telling people to hide who they are. I am not one condemning people to hell. The burden of proof is on you. And some random old book of stories is not proof.

business..I couldnt care less what you do, to whom and with what.

I appreciate your sentiment, but I do add a qualifying caveat. I do not care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom or kitchen. The operative words being "consenting" and "adults." Children -- that's another thing. Curiously enough, that extends to the heterosexual community, too. Someone being gay or lesbian or bisexual does not bother me in the least. Sexual preference is sexual preference, and I would not impose my views of sexuality upon anyone else. Transgenderism -- I confess I have a problem with that. A significant one, actually, but that's neither here nor there.

In response to your talkback regarding the proof there is no god or a higher being, perhaps we could begin with the Holocaust. If that isn't proof enough.....I can't imagine what is.

I merely believe there is a god, but have no concrete proof whereas you do not believe there is a god and also have no concrete proof. We do not have the means to prove or disprove the existence of a higher being. So saying with all certainty that it doesn't exist is just silly.

The old fashioned circus, with it's bearded women etc has been replaced.

How can you hate your people ? Homosexuals are part of the society. They work, ; they pay taxes and some of them only want to have a decent family and live in peace with their neighbours. Guess what ? Some of them, crypto homoes are hiding in your families... and chose to suffer in silence.

Homosexuality is a biologic question not a theologic one.

to intervene? Just because we want and maybe even expect x to do y does not mean that x has to do indeed do y. As for existence, unfulfilled expectations have nothing do with whether or not a being exists. It simply means you were incorrect in your expectations and this is regardless of the being's existence.

This event separate gravely Jews at the moment we have to be united more than ever. Can these people forget their egoism and understand what happened to Israël when we became deaf and blind ?

Love and sex are different. Yet the bible is filled with euphemisms for sex. Lots and lots of sins carried a death sentence. Yet today the only time that is brought up is when gay people Are concerned. Shall we put to death breakers of Shabbat or people who covet another mans wife or how about people who presume to speak for G-d? Face it Israel is a western facing nation where the majority of people believe in full equal rights for homosexuals. Until this is achieved there is a place for the Pride parade in Jerusalem London Paris Washington Athens Rome and any other political capital. Religious arguments have no bearing on legal rights. Religions can opt to becomeore accepting or not but employers housing and states can not be allowed to discriminate

Most of those opposed to this parade and this kind of lifestyle simply see it for what it is, stupid, unnatural, and something they just don't want to associate with. The "haters" are the supporters who continually use the words "prejudice", "bigotry", "homphobia" and "hatred", as a way to deflect honest criticism of their twisted lifestyle, which is an obvious fact. No-one spews "hate". Just an opinion that the GLBT's don't like. They are the agressive ones. Watch the "kiss-in" at the Chick-Fil-A restaurants in the US to know who is "hateful".

Rebecca , you are both ignorant and stupid. Some may even think that your remark is typical of those living Modiin.
