Thousands of LGBTQ+ Israelis Received Text Messages to 'Repent' or Face 'Death'

[TexasTowelie]

The Jerusalem Post has reported that thousands of LGBTQ+ Israelis received text messages saying they “deserve severe punishment, death and deportation” and calling on them to “repent.” The Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel confirmed the news Monday.

“You are LGBT and an apostate. You deserve severe punishment, death and deportation from Israel,” the message read. “Come to Yeshiva Ohr Elhanan in order to repent. We would be glad if you undergo conversion to faith.”

According to The Jerusalem Post, “The message included a phone number and a Telegram account to contact and stated that it was sent by Rabbi Chaim Aryeh Hadash, the rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ohr Elhanan. The rabbi has denied that he has any connection to the message, saying he has never talked about the issue and the issue is not addressed in his yeshiva.”

The Agudah and the Havruta organization for LGBTQ+ religious Jewish men invited Hadash to a dialogue with the LGBTQ+ religious Jewish community. They also called in a letter for Hadash to publish a public condemnation of the messages sent in his name and to “prevent the further great desecration of God that has already been done.”

1. Sick and disgusting

2. Seeing as how homosexual tendancies are inherent in perhaps 5% of the population,

it would appear that this is part of God's plan.
I know, some of you don't like the "God's plan" part of my statement. But, DNA is definitely part of what makes us what we are. Like it or not, homosexuality is in our genes.
And, of course, DNA is part of God's creation.

Those who condemn homosexual behavior don't know God, and don't understand love.

Whether or not you believe in God, the physical DNA that makes us unique as humans is real.
I personally never saw a conflict between Science and Religion. It's only Scientists and Religious types who lack the ability to understand creation that can't see this.
So, homosexuals are just wired a little different. And, in the final analysis, Love is Love.
It's not important who the lovers are, it's the love that counts.

Heterosexuality is needed for reproduction, but it isn't the only path that lovers can take.
