Message | "While we feel homosexual realationships sohlud be illegal, we feel that issue is one that sould be punished by God, not men. For the sake of the homeland it must remain illegal, but we believe God shall deal with such heathens Himself." -Av beit Din David Frankin |
Date | 17:23:50, October 02, 2007 CET | From | Pharaoh's People's Party | To | Debating the Homosexuality Ban |
Message | There is no need to ban homosexuality. It will continue in spite of any efforts on our part, and it poses no threat to us whatsoever. If there are people who live in such a way that certain religious groups think they will soon enter hell, then that is thier buisness, not ours. |

Message | "But why should we offer our approval of such action through our laws? We agree that these people will ultimately be judged by G-d, but any state which doesnt show its disapproval of such actions while ultimately fall into moral decay." Av Beit Din David Frankin |
Date | 20:02:02, October 02, 2007 CET | From | Ma'avak | To | Debating the Homosexuality Ban |
Message | "In regards to the comments of the Mizrachi Ligat would they prefer the law be altered to "Homosexual relations are illegal, but are not prosecuted." We considered this proposal yet felt that if they were not prosecuted it would do little to discourage the life choice of homosexuality as sometimes more than a slap on the wrist is required. We do not wish to institute the death penalty for homosexuality merely a jail term." -- Udi Har-Zahav, Minister for Education and Culture |
Date | 21:32:53, October 02, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Homosexuality Ban |
Message | "It is not so much we fear homosexual relationships will not be punished, for we know the suffering such relationships will bring, we just question whether it is indeed our job to be punishing them. However we will support the current proposal, as it is better than the current de facto approval we give to homosexual relationships, but may look to have the law reviewed in the future." -Mosche Shkolnik, Minister for Justice |
Date | 12:03:24, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Robotic Anarcho Syndicalistic Party | To | Debating the Homosexuality Ban |
Message | "Persons such as Mahmoud Amadinijad can claim their nation is free of homosexuals, and that homosexuality is illegal, however, we are unwilling to stoop to the level of such Islamic Extremists. If you wish to support The same beliefs that deem all Jews unworthy of life, you may do so, but we cannot and shall not." --Representation Unit 001 |
Date | 12:19:15, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Ma'avak | To | Debating the Homosexuality Ban |
Message | "Who is Mahmoud Amadinijad? Some kind of Kafuri maybe?" -- Udi Har-Zahav, Minister for Education and Culture |
