'Bounty' For Killing Gays At World Pride in Jerusalem

[metaphorge]

Charming:

(Jerusalem) Hundreds of leaflets distributed to homes in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox area and other parts of the city overnight offer 20,000 Israeli new shekels or about $4,500 US to anyone who kills gays marching in next month's World Pride in Jerusalem.

The flyers bore the name Red Arm for Salvation and said the money would go to "anyone who will cause the death of one of the Sodom and Gomorrah people."

"During this parade, 300,000 corrupt animals are anticipated to march through the holy city of Jerusalem, waiting avidly for the chance to put themselves on display before our children and our sacred Torah. They will try as hard as they can to defile as many of our innocent children as they can," the leaflets said.

The flyers also gave detailed instructions on how to make a Molotov cocktail, an incendiary bomb using a bottle, to be lobbed into the parade.

It's nice to see that the Christian fundamentalists don't have a total patent on reactonary hatred. I wonder if they're also planning on murdering shrimp loving tourists as well...I hope not, as Tel Aviv would be mighty deserted afterwards.

Yeah... I understand the oint behind it, but I'm not so sure that holding World Pride day in Jerusalem was the brightest of plans....

I guess "Thou shalt not hire others to kill for thee" isn't one of the commandments.

What the hell is wrong with these people? I think they all missed the part about love and compassion that's in pretty much every major religion.

I am so glad I escaped the traps of being raised Catholic, and I feel really bad for people who don't -- and end up like this.

As if the God of the Torah or the Bible would smile upon people paying large sums of money to kill others simply for being different. Or even for breaking "his laws", of they existed?

I have a sneaking suspicion they skipped that part and went straight to Leviticus.

I could easily pony up $4,500 to put on the head of one of these skullfucks.

cuz nothing ends a cycle of violence like more violence.

In this particular case, I'll take it.

Yeah, note to self: the most conservative orthodox enclave in Jerusalem is homophobic; avoid going to Meah Sharim in a rainbow kipa. In other news, the sky is blue.

I'll take the beaches, anyway. Check out this Israeli tourist board vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iMRVFqavos). Very different picture.

P.S. I thought it ironic that this has united Christian, Muslim, and Jewish wingnuts alike. Nothing like uniting in hate to make peace amonbg your enemies.

Everything I learn about Israel makes me more certain of my anti-zionist beliefs.
