    In a directive publicized Tuesday, Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Saar told immigration authorities not to differentiate between married gay and straight couples.

    Israeli law grants citizenship to Jews and close non-Jewish relatives who move to Israel. In a few cases in recent years, Israel only naturalized non-Jewish same-sex spouses of Jews following threats of Supreme Court petitions, says Israeli immigration attorney Nicole Maor.

    Israel does not permit gays to marry in the country, but recognizes same-sex marriages if they were performed legally abroad. It is generally tolerant toward gays.

    Gays serve openly in Israel’s military and parliament, and Israel’s Supreme Court grants gays family rights including inheritance and survivors’ benefits.

    Gay parade in Israel brought us this war and, now this will bring us more problems. Does anyone see the light or is it only me ?

    Dumb life is dumb life. Let the little shickers have their immunity. Torah could care less if they get the fate they deserve.

    Another step in the right direction to destroy Israel, it has no sense to exist others than to protect Klal Yisroel , once the government the so called protectors of its citizens not the protectors of Klal Yisroel kills two birds in one shot announcing there is no Klal Yisroel and there is no Torahs Emes its setting the base of destruction of Israel. Bilom gave this idea to Bulok thousands of yiden perished as the results of this koach hatumo.

    Zionists, you should read the tochecha!

    They’re probably making this move to make themselves look better in world liberal eyes after their gaza incursion.

    This is one of an endless row of burning acts of wicked leadership.
    Who still believes that these leaders are meant to be the leaders of God’s country?
    they make laws in agreement with the lusts of the flesh, this is madness.
    They bring a shame to Israel.

    It would be nice if vin readers would worry about the mishkav zochir in their own neighborhoods instead of a couple of gays in tel aviv. Another Tzadik in Monsey molesting little boys….

    Israel spent millions advertising in Germany the Gay parade in Tel Aviv in the hope to boost their tourism. Then the low lives all of whom sunk below human nature and ground level paraded in defiance openly in Tel Aviv. The gay parade in Tel Aviv ended on the very same day as 3 innocent boys were kidnapped. Then came a bloody war with attacks from an enemy also sub-human that came from below ground level.
    Do you think there is possibly a message from G-D being conveyed to the Jewish people?
    I hear it loud and clear.

    Why are they referred to as spouses and not partners? What if they never married in a jurisdiction legalizing such marriage?

    What did you expect of Israeli leadership, most of whom don’t lead a Torah life style themselves?
