Not Adam And Steve , or Guy and Tzach .
2. so what else is new?
les ,   canada   (06.03.14)
i am sure this will endear her in the hearts of most israelis, specially the orthodox ones.
3. Schoyn, great: how about finally bringing civil marriage to
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.03.14)
Israel of 2014?! Please spare me the dribble about being a "Jewish" country. Poland is a very much Catholic, but they can marry at the magistrate just the same. Then you can proceed to marry gays to your heart's content.
4. CHILLUL HASHEM
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (06.03.14)
Two men married in the holy land? an abomination .And Livni has no authority to bless anybody .
5. Livni marries same sex couple
Randy ,   Canada   (06.03.14)
Sorry to say but Livni is not a team player with her government nor her country. Regardless of where one stands on the gay issue she should not publicly disagree with the law in this way. She is in rebellion and causing dissension. I hope she is discipline accordingly for her immaturity. May the Lord demonstrate his judgement.
6. Livni
Memo ,   Atemajac   (06.04.14)
Now that the "peace farce" is dead, Livni has found her real vocation; to attack The Torah: READ VAYIKRA 18: 22; "You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman: it is abomination".
7. If she united them it sounds nasty.

9. T. Livni is an evil woman
Avi Sion ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (06.03.14)
T. Livni is an evil woman - it is shocking that she not only disregards governmental policy, but even the laws of Israel.
10. Civil partnership
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (06.03.14)
Anyone able to read the Holiness Code in Leviticus, that we read at Mincha on Yom Kippur, knows that Jewish marriage cannot involve male partners, but there can be civil alternatives such as civil union or civil partnership, which confers the same legal rights as marriage. As chief negotiator for the Jewish State of Israel, Livni should avoid such controversy.

12. This is equality?
Chris Perver ,   Bangor, NI   (06.03.14)
Does she really want any couple, brother and sister, mum and son, father and daughter, to be able to tie the knot? Come on. Stop giving us this equality nonsense. It's not about equality, it's about changing God's order of creation.
13. What a fantastic news story
Stuart ,   London   (06.03.14)
Well done Ms Lipni, what a fantastic news story and congratulations to the two gentlemen in question. I am married to an Israeli man and we had to do it here in London because it was not possible in Israel. I am looking forward to our life together and we hope to move to Israel too - things like this hearten me and make me love Israel even more than I already do.
14. How would Moses view this ?
Galut i a ,   Selah   (06.03.14)
Has Israel walked away from Torah ?
15. Livni and open Judaism
jouko ,   finland   (06.04.14)
What is this - open Judaism??? Never heard before! What is then closed Judaism??
16. Mrs. Livni refusal to serve her tummy for surrogacy
Miron ,   USA   (06.04.14)
is a humiliation of everything decent on our planet. Livni, the hater of gay community, should be ashamed of herself!
17. There you go, ITA. All talk backers are
Israeli 2   (06.04.14)
against this ugliness. Mine will just be in your face....subconsciously drilled...perhaps I may yet cure you and your kind.
18. Surely the homosexuals in Israel -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.04.14)
- will vote for Livni. Livni selling out Israels Legacy for Political gain. She has gone to pakt with the Evil One. What a disgracefull Woman. Arn.Sweden
19. Hahahahaha! @1
Mathilde   (06.04.14)
Daring & funny Are you Steve?
20. the TRUE agenda
ben Ish   (06.04.14)
The TRUE agenda has nothing to do with the gay population. This issue is brought up by evil men intent on destroying religion in general, esp., Torah. To define gay marriage as a human right. Once they define gay marriage as a "human right", then gay couples can demand to be married by any Rabbi, in any location. Including YOUR Rabbi and YOUR synagogue. If your Rabbi refuses, then he is denying them their human rights, and can be imprisoned. Beware, and watch how it plays out in the US, coming to Israel next.
21. Turn away from this as a nation.
ben Ish   (06.04.14)

Mathilde   (06.04.14)
Be realist, this is Israel miracles happen every day!! In politics though, it could be perceive as one incredible political advantage for her, (Livni)
23. Reply to 10 Mr Holmes from London
Mathilde   (06.04.14)
Such controversys are common in Israel history & politics. For instance, after Munich, who went to Beirut dressed like women do, Ehud Barak or the Prime Minister Golda Meir ? ;-)
24. This woman is a failure in every sense of the term...
Anna M sedda ,   Rome,Italy   (06.04.14)
This woman is not only a politica failure; she is also a social failure,a personal failure,a religious failure and finally,a " natural" failure....Becouse in Nature,gay do not exist...God made a male and a female of every thing,even animals....she is s total failure...
