Rabbi: ‘Holy Land, not Homo Land’
Israel Today ^ | Friday, July 14, 2006 | Nicole Jansezian

Posted on 07/17/2006 4:46:40 AM PDT by IrishMike

The international gay pride parade is set to take place in Jerusalem next month, much to the ire of groups that had, up until now, little to unite them.

Orthodox Jews, Moslems and Christians have banded together to try to prevent this convergence of gays and lesbians from all over the world for a week of activities in Israel’s capital.

Believers in Jerusalem have held several citywide prayer meetings regarding the parade, while rabbis and Moslem sheikhs held a mutual news conference decrying the event, including Levin and Arab party Knesset Member Ibrahim Sarsur. At least 45 parliament members signed a petition against the parade.

“This is the holy land, not the homo land,” Rabbi Yehuda Levin, a moral activist from America, who came to Israel to stir a charge against the parade, told Israel Today. “The militants are as dangerous as Hamas. And they’re every bit as dangerous as Nazis to religious people.”

But the city is bound by a Supreme Court ruling and has no apparent out. Levin blames liberal politicians and secular Jews, such as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert whose daughter is a professed lesbian, for allowing the parade to go forward.

The sin of homosexuality could cost Israel its land, Levin said. The Bible instructs the Israelites to not emulate the acts of the Canaanites and the Egyptians, which includes homosexuality according to the rabbis, lest they lose the land.

Noa Sattath, chairperson of Jerusalem Open House, the organizers of the event, countered Levin’s argument.

“The sin that caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was that the stranger was rejected,” she said. “I would hope that Israel doesn’t make that same mistake again.”

"The sin that caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was that the stranger was rejected,” she said.

Utter nonsense! Hey lady...thats why its called sodomy.
For YEARS, millenia, even it has been understood that the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah was caused in part by faggotry, among other sins.

I know you queers fight it and try to weasel out of it but if it was "because the stranger was rejected" don't you think God would have rained down ettiquette books instead of fire?

“The sin that caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was that the stranger was rejected,” Noa Sattath said.

Genesis 19:4
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them."

That doesn't sound like rejection... Actually, they wouldn't take no for an answer. While I have no problem with homosexuals, I do have a problem when anyone tries to twist things.

Have we finally found something that the Jews, Christians, and Moslems can agree upon?

To: IrishMike; All

Are Jeruselum businesses allowed to post no homosexual signs?

What happens when homosexuals trying to intentionally "defile" holy places?

With recent events, this is a perscription for ugly situation.

Bzzzt. Oh no, I'm sorry. That's incorrect.

So homos are strangers now? I guess that explains why we teach our kids not to talk to strangers.

And while you teach your kids not to talk to strangers, the teachers are teaching the kids about understanding homosexuality and tolerance of Islam.

"shoot and stack'em for bunker padding"

"grease the tracks of tanks with them"

Both are great ideas, s_f!
