A prominent right-wing rabbi was invited to speak at an event organized by a faction within Education Minister Naftali Bennett's Jewish Home party, and promptly outraged most secular Israelis.
Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira (pictured) is head of the Ramat Gan Yeshiva, and has often spoken out against homosexuality, insisting that such tendencies can be overcome with proper therapy.
At Tuesday's event, Shapira let loose:
"We are not homophobes, and we are not phobic. We do not live out of fear, and we are not scared. We are courageous people, we are the Land of Israel's heroes, and we are not scared of the LGBT trend.
"I have invested many hours in helping people with difficulties in this area. But no, we're not homophobes, we're believers and we're healthy people. And there is an illness which is growing and spreading, and more and more, we are becoming a country that looks like LGBTistan.
"Anyone who speaks about a believing and healthy family is immediately classed as someone who has phobias. He's an extremist. Why? Because he said something that has always been the basis of all of humanity and all of the Torah. It's insane to see this as the problem with Religious Zionism's image.
"When there is an atmosphere of LGBTistan, we don't belong, and they hate us because we're sane."
This Rabbi ROCKS!!!!
LGBTistan. What an awesome word!
Political correctness is destructive self delusion.
Cultural Marxism is intended by design to produce cultural, national and civilization along suicide.
There’s a reason why scum like Bill Ayers went into teaching educators.
Music to my ears.
+1
That needs to be a new phrase here at FR.
Prime quote: “They hate us because we are sane.” That’ll preach.
That is the situation distilled into seven words. Amen
BRAVO RABBI! God bless him!
The sane, fearless rabbi speaks the truth!
RE: HOMOPHOBIC
The word is defined as DISLIKE and PREJUDICE against homosexuals.
Does this describe Orthodox Jews?
Im adapting that as my new tag line.
No, liberals wont die by the millions. They have no problem with OTHERS dying by the millions to make their delusions come true, but never themselves.
This is a mania. It’s one thing to allow homosexuals and the perpetually confused to live in peace, it’s another thing to force this decadent stuff on nations that must keep on the righteous path to avoid falling into islamic chaos.
I just re-read my initial post and I goofed.
I meant that they would rather die a million deaths than be told they are wrong.
But yes, they have no problem forcing their lifestyle & culture choices on the rest of us, which means millions of innocents do die from those results.
The wisdom of such Rabbis is the essence of how generations of an ancient people of Israel have survived.
New tag line
...and a cancer that slowly spreads, destroying and killing everything it touches.
I like it! LOL!
