Benjamin Netanyahu, Right-Wing Jews and the Gay Agenda in Israel
By Julio Severo
Jerusalem, the Holy City, has been a
stage for one of the unholiest act on the Earth according to the holiest Jewish
traditions: celebration of homosexuality.

The Knesset, Israel’s Parliament,
officially designated February 23, 2016, as the State of Israel’s LGBT Rights
Day. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely appears in the Knesset on
Tuesdays, but he arrived especially to participate in the “first designated
LGBT Rights Day.”
He spoke to homosexual activists
who were gathered at the Knesset.
“I came here in the middle of my
schedule, which was no less busy, to say one sentence to the members of the
LGBT community: ‘Every man was created in the image of God,’” he said, according to the Jerusalem Post. “That is the idea brought by our
nation to mankind thousands of years ago, and it is the principle that must
guide our national lives today.”
Everybody was created in God’s
image, but their behavior is not always reflective of God’s image.
The ancient principle, engraved in
the Holy Jewish Scriptures (known as the Old Testament among Christians), is
that people created in God’s image should not engage in behaviors contrary to
God’s image. Among these behaviors is homosexuality, which the Jewish
Scriptures call “abhorrence.”
“Do
not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorrence.”
(Leviticus 18:22 The Jewish Study Bible: Second Edition. Oxford University
Press. 2014)
To use “God’s image” in people to
glorify their homosexual behavior was not God’s original intent for Israel and
the world. Homosexuality affronts God’s image.
Reinforcing
Netanyahu’s words praising people for their homosexual behavior, his Israel
Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a public international video
that it is proud that Israel is the homosexual capital of the Middle East.
MK Amir Ohana said at the Knesset
that the LGBT community is 10 percent of the Israeli population and is
discriminated against under law.
In 2015 Netanyahu noted that Ohana,
who was Israel’s new Interior Minister, was the first openly gay representative
to be elected to the Knesset from Netanyahu’s Likud Party, which is a right-wing
party. He predicted that Ohana would be an excellent MK.
In his inaugural speech, Ohana, who
lives with his homosexual partner, mentioned the different components of his
identity: “Jewish, Israeli, Mizrahi [Sephardic], gay, a Likudnik,
security-minded, liberal, a supporter of the free market, and a father.”
Ohana,
who is also a veteran of the Shin Bet security agency, has promoted the
homosexual agenda as the founder and chairman of the Likud Pride Group, which
is the largest right-wing homosexual group in Israel.
Ohad
Attya, a gay activist in Likud, said, “The idea that if you are gay you have to
be a leftist is false.”
The absurd figure of 10 percent of
homosexuals in the general population defended by Ohana was invented by Alfred
Kinsey, but it was scientifically debunked by the Jewish-American researcher
Dr. Judith Reisman.
Homosexuals are no more than 2 or
3 percent of the general population. If this number rises someday, it is
because the massive homosexual propaganda in the social media and schools has
been successful. But without propaganda, their numbers are insignificant.
Yet, is not the Torah, the Jewish
Scriptures, enough to debunk lies about homosexuality? In fact, the Torah has
been exposing and condemning homosexuality for thousands of years.
Even so, modern Israel is in
direction contrary to its most sacred traditions.
More than 200,000 people packed Tel
Aviv’s streets on 2017 for the annual LGBT Pride Parade, making it the
largest-ever gay parade in the Middle East and Asia, according to the Tel
Aviv-Jaffa Municipality.
“Tel Aviv Pride Parade is not just
a celebration, but also an important declaration of support. Tel Aviv, which
has already been acknowledged as the world’s ‘most gay-friendly city,’ will
continue to be a light-house city, spreading the values of freedom, tolerance
and democracy to the world,” said Mayor Ron Huldai.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
addressed homosexual activists and participants in Jerusalem’s 2016 gay pride
parade in a video message, saying that they are an inseparable part of Israeli
society.
“The march today in Jerusalem isn’t
only a march of the LGBT community,” said Netanyahu in the video posted to his
Facebook page. “It’s not a march exclusive for a specific group. It’s a march
for us. It’s a march for unity. Our brothers and sisters in the community are
part and parcel of us, of Israeli society. We are all one family. We respect
one another and accept one another with respect and equality. We all have the
right and obligation to accept one another without exceptions, regardless of
religion, race or sexual preference. We are all created in the image of God. We
are all Israelis, we are all citizens of the state, we are one people.”
In two versions of a video posted
to Facebook, one in English and the other in Hebrew, Netanyahu clearly positioned
himself as a vocal supporter, endorsing the sentiment of the marchers and
slamming critics who painted their efforts in a negative light.
“Sadly, some elements of our
society are still not yet ready to accept the LGBT community,” he said. “My
solemn promise to you today is to continue fostering respect for all of
Israel’s citizens, without exception.”
Netanyahu’s
public addresses on the subject are fascinating because he is the leader of the
most right-wing
coalition government in Israel’s history.
A right-wing administration in
Israel not only has not saved Israel from the gay ideology, but has actually
joined the Left to support it.
One of the best barometers of the
homosexual activists’ rising influence is that right-wing politicians are
shifting their perception of the gay agenda. In the United States, leaders of
the Republican Party have been attempting to convince their base of Christian
conservative constituents that a pro-homosexuality realignment is needed.
In
the Republican National Committee’s now infamous “autopsy
report,” compiled by party elders after Mitt Romney’s loss
in 2012, they said: “We need to campaign among… gay Americans and demonstrate
we care about them, too.” Senator Marco Rubio, who is a Catholic neocon, warned
his party of the costs of non-adherence to the gay agenda.
Following this neocon stance, the
Trump administration has been marked not only by non-opposition to the
homosexual agenda but also by efforts
to pressure other nations to accept it.
Put
another way, the LGBT activism and its demands have become too important and
financially too seductive for right-wing politicians to ignore.
Israel,
as no other nation, knows that the homosexual behavior brings total
destruction, because it has the valuable testimony of the Jewish Scriptures,
which are not legend, but a faithful and divine reminder. Even so, Israel and
its left-wing and right-wing leaders seek alliances with homosexual activists
who celebrate their immoral lifestyles.
The Israeli economy gained at least
100 million shekels (around $28 million) from the influx of foreign homosexuals
who traveled to Israel to take part in Tel Aviv Pride Parade in 2017.
Nadav Peretz — owner of OUTstanding
Travel — told that these homosexual tourists “become ambassadors for the
liberal and progressive Israel.”
“It might sound weird,” he said,
“but they are the ‘new evangelicals.’ They speak well about Israel and can’t
wait to return.”
Homosexual
activists have even been officially invited, by Israel, to visit Israel. In
January 2016, Brazilian congressman Jean Wyllys, the most prominent homosexual
activist in the Brazilian Congress, gave a lecture on “homophobia” in the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His lecture equaled
“homophobia” with anti-Semitism. Wyllys, who openly advocates the homosexual
indoctrination of Brazilian children in schools, was officially invited by
Israel.
Meanwhile, an Israeli poll
published by the Hiddush NGO found that 90 percent of secular Israelis support
same-sex “marriage.” Among the religious, 77 percent of traditional Jews, 46
percent of national religious Jews, and 16 percent of the ultra-Orthodox Jews also
support the “marriage” of same-sex couples.
During the meeting at the Knesset
in the first official LGBT Rights Day, the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) Chief
of Staff’s Adviser on Women’s Affairs Rachel Tevet pointed out that
18-year-olds are enlisted without regard to sexual orientation.
Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense
Subcommittee chairman Yoav Kisch (a member of Likud) asked the IDF to hold more
homosexual workshops on the subject for commanders and to improve its work to
integrate transgender soldiers.
“I was glad to hear the conditions
in the army are good [for members of the LGBT community], as it should be,”
Kisch said. “At the same time... the improvements must continue.”
“The IDF is the army of the people
and everyone must feel comfortable and certainly not have concerns based on
their gender identity,” he added.
IDF is, in fact, a socialist
“paradise.” It has accomplished a feat that U.S. socialists have fought for
many years to impose on American women: compulsory military draft for young women.
The socialist “dream” has been fulfilled in Israel: all 18-year-old young women
are obliged to enlist.
If
Cuba and North Korea have female soldiers, conservatives and right-wingers say
that it is ugly, because this is communism. But if Israel has female soldiers,
they consider it beautiful, just because it is made in Israel — regardless if
it is socialist or not. There is an idolatry rampant among conservative
evangelicals hindering their eyes to see socialism in Israel. They are able to
see it in Cuba, but they are unable to recognize as socialist the same
impositions in Israel.
Israel is the only nation where
socialism has been successful. Israel, which was founded by Marxist Jews, has
one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. It has also banned parents’
authority to spank their children.
Even so, the same conservative evangelicals
who condemn socialism in Cuba celebrate it in Israel.
A
conservative Christian should balance his necessary support of Israel,
especially its inalienable, untransferable and divine right to the Promised
Land, without compromising his values by supporting everything Israel does. Sometimes, Israel does horrible things,
including supporting Islamic terrorists at the expense of Christian victims.
A true Christian should never support such things.
Legal abortion, ban on child
discipline, celebration of homosexuality and feminism, including compulsory
draft for young women, are not conservative or Christian values. They are
socialist values, and should not be tolerated, even for Israel’s sake.
Evangelicals
talk about Israel as if they were talking about the Holy Land itself. They
think Israel’s rulers and its inhabitants have the utmost respect for God and
His laws.
They
think that Israel’s rulers and its inhabitants
practice and celebrate family, not abortion and homosexuality.
They think that Israel’s rulers and
its inhabitants practice and celebrate the Bible, not socialism and feminism.
They think that Israel’s rulers and
its inhabitants have close fellowship with God and that they are saved, that
they are brothers and sisters for Christians, having no need to hear the Gospel
of Jesus Christ.
No. They have no such fellowship
and Israel is not living according to God’s laws.
Yes. Left-wing, right-wing and
religious Israelis and Jews do need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Modern Israel courts tourists,
whether evangelicals or homosexual activists, just for the sake of profits.
And
right-wing Israelis, including Netanyahu, are courting homosexual activists the
same way they have always courted evangelical tourists.
Of course, they do not embrace the
gay ideology in the same radical way that left-wing Israelis do. But their
“moderate” embrace of sodomy (the sin of Sodom: homosexuality) is a far cry
from God’s commandments to the Jews:
“Do
not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorrence.”
Sodomy brings death, as warned by
the Jewish Scriptures. It is an abhorrence that left-wing and right-wing Jews
have been celebrating this deadly sin in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and throughout the
Promised Land.
Sodomy destroyed Sodom — and the ruins of Sodom are today in Israel, as a memorial to Israel and the world about the graveness of the homosexual sin. If Israel
and its left-wing and right-wing politicians keep celebrating sodomy, what will
Israel gain with it?
