Israel’s Right of Return also gives citizenship to spouses of the same sex when Jews choose to immigrate to Israel together, Interior Minister Gidon Sa’ar (Likud) decided Tuesday.
According to Sa’ar’s decision, gay and lesbian Jews married abroad wishing to immigrate to Israel could do so—even if one of the partners is not Jewish—and both would receive Israeli citizenship.
“The gates of Israel will be open to every Jew and his family without any discrimination against his lifestyle,” Sa’ar stated, in the precedent-setting decision. […]
The landmark decision surfaces amid ongoing tension over what defines a “family” in Israel, and as debate rages over whether or not same-sex marriages should be recognized in Israeli law.
Gidon Sa’ar’s Likud has a Mizrahi and traditional voter base, but he and other members of the faction toe an extremely liberal line on family values that is no different from that of Meretz. …

Ten million rockets raining down from Gaza every day couldn’t do the damage to Israel that Israel does to itself with this kind of nihilistic sh!t.
Yep, not a day goes by that a gay couple doesn’t explode, killing dozens.
LGBTU will think “right of return” is a form of reach around.
Absolutely right. (Although I don’t endorse swearing). A God honoring culture is our only hope of escaping a fallen world. Israel has no reason to hope for their defense, save the hand of God. They, above any other country, should see how perilous their situation is.
Has always been thus - peruse through I and II Kings and we can see how God continually warned them about their tragic embrace of pagan rituals - they rarely listened (each King seemingly worse than the one before...)
That said - they are still the apple of His eye - and we can be blessed as gentiles to be adopted into His family, (I am an adopted son of Abraham, redeemed through the Blood of Jesus).
uh oh... NOW what are the libtards going to do?
“The gates of Israel will be open to every Jew and his family without any discrimination against his lifestyle,”....

Meanwhile, as I have been praying for God to protect Israel, they thrust this in His Face?
Looks like you need to read Israel’s history, starting with 1 Kings 11 for starters. Do you really want God fighting Israel?

Maybe they were throwing a bone, so to speak, to Obama. He loves anything LGBT. /S
I think it needs to be known—especially to conservative-Christians—that Israel is one of the most secular countries in the world. Orthodox Jews are a small (though influential) minority, and probably a majority of Israelis are non-observant religiously.... either agnostic or atheist—very much like you’ll find the nations of Europe.
The people of Israel are NOT, by in large, the fiddler-on-the-roof-devout-chosen-people of fundamentalist Christian imagination. Of course that doesn’t mean they are not a 1st world democratic republic (though also very socialistic), which respects liberty and human rights—in a sea of violent wretched dictatorships.... who deserves our whole support.
