Jerusalem – Anti-gay protesters gathered Thursday next to several hundred gay activists preparing to march in the eighth annual Jerusalem Gay Pride parade, calling them to “get out of Jerusalem.”

The protesters, led by extreme rightist activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben Gvir, hoisted banners reading “sick perverts – get out of Jerusalem.”
“It is a disease of choice, and a man can change his taste and his ways,” Marzel said, adding “when someone has AIDS they tell them not to infect others, so why are these people allowed to march here in Jerusalem and infect us with their disease?”
The parade, which for the first time is expected to march all the way to the Knesset building, marks a year since the deadly shooting at the Tel Aviv Gay youth center, in which two people were killed and 13 were wounded.
Meanwhile, rightists from the United Torah Judaism party organized a “donkeys’ parade,” expected to gather outside the Supreme Court, under the banner “the marchers who do what beasts do.”
its very heartbreaking for me knowing that there are jewish people my brothers with this mental sickness.and then trying to publicize theyer weakness
that is all we do pray for the. For tsuhva always help
hashem(God)help these lost souls
What will be in Jerusalem??? getting worse & worse every day, think in a few years a yid will not be able to live there any more,the satmar ruv zy”u was right
Hoping that these degenerate chutzpa filled animals will get the message to get lost or do teshuvah. ENOUGH
#1 Very true. But with help and treatment they can be cured and live normal lives. Of course, it might mean getting rid of the outlandish clothes, the bizarre private practices and the rest of the unnatural lifestyle.
But even Charedi bigots can be reformed and live meaningful lives as decent human beings.
#6 – If all the childmolesters came to have a parade through town wed for sure hold hafgunos. what are you comparing?
We may find a “gay lifestlye” repulsive and most will also agree it is contrary to halacha but eretz yisroel is a democracy and there is no right to impose our beliefs on others. The chareidi also have the right to demonstrate without police interference as long as they do not violate the legal rights of the gay community.
#5 Precisely. I’m throwing a milder form of the bigots’ trash back at their supporters to see how they like it. It even uses a lot of the same words and phrases.
The Chasidm aren’t going to change any minds by these hysterics.
