Well, seeing that LGBT rights in Israel are better protected than almost anywhere else in the world, and definitely better than in the USA; not to mention the extent of scary, violent homophobia in America and in some European countries, which is unheard-of in Israel – indeed, those stabbings in 2005, that ended in minor injuries, are pretty much the only physical attacks on gays in the country’s history; your comments don’t make much sense.

Yes, sure he is not Homophobic. Just like Bush is born again, – maybe that is true, but he is missing the little narrow dark mustache he had in his previous life.

But while we are Jewish, and my wife (female btw) wants to go see Israel, I guarantee you that if he wins and does his disgraceful dead, I am not going, and the wifes passport will be shredded the night before she is scheduled to leave.

And talk about Jewish Nazi’s… What the real issue here is we need a world in which conservative, right wing religions are disgraced and left to die. And their fates should be recorded in the history books as one of mankinds greatest failures, and they are nothing but an abomination before God. Whatever their creed.

Jewish Nazis…the term is not so ridiculous it seems.

My how the wheels have turned. From victims of one of the worst crimes in human history to perpetrators of the same prejudice and intolerance that led to those crimes in the first place. I guess the term Jewish Nazi doesn’t seem so ridiculous.

OK, so he said that. Even if he did stand a chance to win, which he doesn’t, it’s not his decision to make. For a few years now Jerusalem’s current mayor (a Haredi guy) has been trying to block the parade, but the Supreme Court not only frustrated his efforts, but also made city hall pay for it and hang rainbow flags along the route.

Gaydamak knows this well, which is why he has no problems trying to woo right-wing voters (who are a majority in Jerusalem) by his inflamatory rhetoric, knowing full well that he won’t have to be taken for his word, since the decision is out of his hands anyway.
