Rabbinical Alliance Of America: Israel Is The "Holy Land Not The Homo Land"
Rabbi Yehuda Levin Slams Frum Parties For Silence Over Shame Parade
Yeshiva World News
In advance of the July 29th Toeiva parade scheduled to begin in Jerusalem and conclude with a reception at the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the 850 plus members of the 70-year-old Rabbinical Alliance of America, issued the following statement:(Press Release By Rabbi Yehuda Levin for Christian Newswire)For years now the imperial judiciary of Israel has demonstrated a clear bias against things and people religious and the traditional values and heritage of a Jewish people described in the Torah (Bible) as a “Nation of Priests and a Holy People”. The Israeli Government aided by a socially libertine Supreme Court, which may be to the left of Elena Kagan, constantly denigrates the religious sensibilities and faith concerns of not only traditional Jews worldwide but global inter-religious faith communities that consider Israel to be the “Holy Land not the Homo Land”.
Most recently the mayor of Tel Aviv joined the Israeli Minister of Tourism to announce the funding of an initial 6-month outreach effort to attract “Towiva” tourists from France and Germany. So while the Torah state in Leviticus 18:22-30: “Let not the land vomit you out for having contaminated it” (with these abominations)…, the Israeli officials import as much deviance and immorality as they can, worldwide.
The latest outrage, the sodomy celebration in Jerusalem, specifically planned to begin in an ultra-religious neighborhood, is nothing less than the spiritual rape of the Holy Land with the active support of the Israeli State, her courts and her police. This is just the next stage of confronting and silencing religious opposition locally and worldwide.
This Perversion Pride Parade would never be countenanced in Mecca, the Vatican, Karbala, or Moscow, where the mayor and Russian Orthodox Patriarch vigorously oppose it. The “brave” “progressive” Israeli Government and Supreme Court would never dream of allowing the parade route to include Arab East Jerusalem or the Al Aqsa Mosque. The Moslem community locally and worldwide would never tolerate this. Just ask Arab Knesset member Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsur. Thus we see the Israeli elite treating religious Jews with less respect than their Arab co-citizens.
We are further outraged by the deafening silence of over 30 religious members of the Knesset including: the Shas party, Agudath Israel, Degel Hatorah, and the National Religious Camp. Their taciturnity demonstrates de facto acquiescence to abomination thus spiritually endangering the residents of Israel who are surrounded by terrorists and enemies. This also spiritually jeopardizes Jews worldwide.
Several years ago, Knesset members Meir Porush and Uri Ariel laid down in front of the parade to demonstrate at least token opposition to this sacrilege (disgrace). Why can’t all religious and traditional office holders, national and local, gather for the glory of G-d and send a worldwide message of Defending the Holy Land? They are also guilty of not addressing this blasphemy with appropriate legislation. Shame on them!
We turn to Christian groups and leaders worldwide, i.e. the Vatican, the various Patriarchs, Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, etc., to stand up and defend G-d’s Courtyard by bombarding the Israeli Prime Minister, Government officials and the mayor of Jerusalem with constant protest.
I don't get it. Why can't they date broads just like everybody else?

Just wait until he finds out about the Asian invasion!
Masses of gay tourists from Taiwan and Hong Kong are slated to visit Israel soon thanks to a new Chinese travel guide which highly recommends visiting Tel Aviv - a "paradise for members of the gay and lesbian community,".

Harold, they don't have to go to Israel. Any mikvah in Boro Park, Midwood, Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Monsey, and yes, the 5 Towns will satisfy their needs.

Not the Homo Land and turning to Christians?
"Ecce Homo"

"Rabbi" Yehuda Levin, who sits on the advisory board of Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation, served as co-chair of Pat Buchanan's 1996 presidential campaign. Apparently it is not ok to defame Christians, but perfectly fine to defame Jews. And gays.

yehuda levin is a crackpot.

What can we really expect from the "Rabbinical Alliance of America"? Former President Rabbi Abraham Hecht (spritz Chabad), who called upon Israelis to assasinate the evil "rodef" Yitzchak Rabin?
Is Yehudah Levin also connected to Chabad?

I found this piece and the one about the women who wish to wear tallisim at the kotel an interesting juxtaposition. Israel is (seemingly) a nation that falls over backwards to demonstrate their "openess" to gays yet they will harass & arrest women who choose to worship "differently." I'm at a point where my next opportunity to go to Israel may end up taking me to Belize.

When you have a parade you make it everyone's business.

Let's hope Chabad answers the call and open up an shul in Province Town.
Does Chabad have a franchise open for business in Fire Island.

In the good old days one would have labeled this guy a "shmagegi".

You have a parade to get your message across: Stop denying that homosexuals exist and do not oppress individuals because of their orientation.
We as Jews should from a cultural standpoint stand with any community that is oppressed, after all, until just recently most countries in the world competed to see how fast they could oppress us and wipe us out.

"We as Jews should from a cultural standpoint stand with any community that is oppressed..."
Like the Palestinians?
