t’s worse. tens of thousands of sheqels in funding is awarded to LGBT organizations, and if I’m not mistaken the parade is underwritten also, from tax money paid by Yerushalmim. We had a religious mayor who tried to at least pull that funding, but the courts came to the rescue of the abominators.
From 2005…
3rd Night Of Anti-G#* Riots In Jerusalem
(Jerusalem) Police were pelted with stones and bottles Thursday night as members of the Haredi ultra Orthodox Jewish sect engaged in a third night of rioting over next week’s planned g## pride march in Jerusalem.
More than two thousand members of the sect jammed into streets in an Orthodox neighborhood in a show of force aimed at pressuring authorities into canceling the parade.
As in the past two nights the protestors rolled garbage cans into intersections to block mounted police from getting to the demonstrators. The garbage was set on fire and some protestors engaged in fist to fist combat with police.
Three police officers and a TV news cameraman were injured – none seriously. That brings the total number of people injured in three days of violence to nearly a dozen.
Twenty-five protestors were arrested but leaders of the sect vowed that after a break for the Jewish Sabbath they will continue to demonstrate.
The Haredi’s leaders appeared again tonight at the head of the protest wearing sack cloth, a Biblical sign of mourning.
The Haredi do not believe in a secular state and that all laws should be Biblically based. They frequently clash with non observant Jews who drive cars into their neighborhoods on the Sabbath.
In the Samarian settlement of Eli a homemade bomb was found at the doorway of a police station. The device, which had a sign attached to it saying “Sodomites Out!” was disarmed.
Earlier in the day members of other branches of Judaism also opposed to the parade met with representatives of Open House, the LGBT center that puts on the parade, in an effort to maintain a dialogue.
The meeting was described as cordial but the two sides remain far apart on whether or not the parade should be held. They did however jointly condemn the riots, calling them counter productive.
Police and government officials also met today behind closed doors but emerged an hour later declining to say if they would cancel the parade.
Earlier on Thursday the controversy over the parade spread to Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city where a synagogue in a neighborhood shared by gays and Orthodox Jews.
Windows at the Geulot Israel synagogue were smashed and the words, “If we can’t march in Jerusalem, you won’t walk in Tel Aviv,” were spray-painted on the outside of the building’s walls.
LGBT groups in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem immediately condemned the vandalism and some said they believe the attack was actually the work of members of the Haredi sect to vilify the community.
Also on Thursday a motion was filed with the High Court of Justice to try to block the parade from taking place on November 11. The motion, filed by Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, the leader of an Orthodox community group, ZAKA, says that the threat of violence puts the whole city at risk.
Last year when the city refused to issue a pride parade permit the center went to court and won an injunction forcing the city to allow the march.
The parade was marred by a series of violent attacks in which more than a than a dozen protestors were arrested and three people were stabbed.
Almost 1,000 protestors lined the parade route. Bottles of urine and bags containing feces were hurled at marchers.
This aberration is becoming so pervasive and has captured government and nearly all of Israel, that I am at a loss for what in the world Hashem could do to punish them? Are we all doomed to His Retribution.?
They talk about their “identity” as a way of convincing the public, along with themselves, that this carnal desire which is forbidden to be acted upon is their essence and there is no choice but to accommodate it.
No words, this in our holy city.. kol hakovod for all the yidden expressing their condemnation
disgusting. shame that this goes on in Israel, much less in the holy city of Jerusalem.
These disgusting perverts who spread HIV and AIDs should go to Hollywood where they can spread their diseases and live like perverted goyim that they envy.
While its true that its disgusting I`m just wondering where all YWN`s slurs and headlines are. usually they come quick and fast, like NEW THREAT (used when hamas started using drones), chillul hashem (when 2 jews had a struggle on a Turkish airlines flights, and no one knows if they were right or wrong), EXTREMISTS ATTACK CHAREIDY MAYOR (the headline was clearly made to denounce the atackers, but for these attackers of everything we hold dear – for some reason they are silent), etc. all of which should be used here. i`m not trying to prove YWN supports toeiva parades, but its disgusting that only when only when it comes to fellow yidden, who are shomer shabbos, who do things (which are supported by some gedolim, just not ywn`s) which are not 1% as bad as this, then YWN is out to get them. and by the way THESE people are the cause of all the terror attacks, and all the arab hostility, and then they say we need a tzahal. tzahal is useleess the only thing protecting the eretz hakadosha is ponovezh and the like.
Where is the ywn SHOCKING headlines? Btw we will have these perverts in mind in a couple of weeks as we pray כי תעביר ממשלת זדון מן הארץ
Where are our so-called Charedie Knesset members? Where are Litzman, Gafne, & Deri??? Checking over their pension plan?
Why don’t they have term limits in Israel?!
BTW @Not getting involved, now you will at least be able to be dan lkaf zechus when you see the eitznikers and the satmers protestind againts Litzman, Gafne, & Deri, and you wont just say “they are just Extremists” (like YWN) when you see clearly that it deosnt quiet seem like the are doing jobs. (not saying i know this for sure, just wondering)
This is Netanyahu’s fault.
Although this entire business is utterly revolting, we should realize that the state is merely upholding what was enshrined in its declaration of independence 70 years ago. That the state will “ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex.”
They’re only doing what they said they were going to do.
“daass torah”
Satmar doesn’t oppose the parade, the only ones protesting it in Israel right now are the daty liumi (chardal, Kach etc)
The last time the charadim protested this parade was when rav Elyashiv was alive.
If anyone in Yerushalim sees this I beg you to protest this bizayon.
If 200,000 gays can come together in tel aviv we should have 600,000 jews fighting against it in the ir hakodesh.
