In recent days, rabbis have called on young haredim not to protest violently against the parade, but to recite prayers instead.

They'd do better to advise them NOT to vote for Shas, the "religious" political party that has enabled Armillus Olmert to come to power and forcibly remove and persecute peaceful settlers - all for some money for their schools. What good is educating kids if you're going to betray their families and their heritage?

As for the queers, I'd like to know what reason there is to march in Jerusalem. Clearly, since about 80% of the Jewish population is quite religious, it is to be in-your-face offensive to them. Tell me, queers, how do you like it when people offend you on purpose? Why couldn't you go somewhere else, and just leave the people of Jerusalem alone to live their lives as they see fit? Well, I know the answer: you're scum - and you'll ultimately get your just reward.

“I’d like to know what reason there is to march in Jerusalem.”

And I’d like to know why they are proud to be homosexual.

That was probably the primary point.
