Schools discuss tolerance after Education Ministers hate speech.

[ForeverYoung436]

Israelis are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Israel is the most gay-friendly society in the Middle East. For instance, gays are hanged in Iran. For that, they are accused of not deserving to be in charge of the Holy Land, and compared to Sodom and Gomorrah. But then, if one minister speaks in favor of traditional values, Israel is condemned for that as well. They. Can. Never. Win.

You mis-read the OP. It is a salute to Israeli schools and Israeli youngsters for not putting up with dumb bigotry. Its positive.

Schools in Israel hold impromptu tolerance classes after education minister says being gay is not ‘natural’

Minister Rafi Peretz – who is also head of the Jewish Home party and a former chief rabbi in Israel’s Defence Forces – made the comments in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth.

Asked how he would respond if one of his own children came out as gay, he replied: “Thank God my kids grew up in a healthy and natural way… They’re building their families from Jewish values.”

He added later in the interview: “A normal family is as man and a woman… [We] don’t need to [be] ashamed that we live in this natural way.

I think the schools did the right thing and judging by the kids comments they absolutely get it. The bigot is still in position though. What damage can he do ?

He should have said normal rather than natural. Clearly, families in which the parents are a man and a woman are the norm, therefore normal, and families with same sex parents are abnormal or deviant since they deviate from the norm. Perhaps there was an error in translation from the Hebrew.

He should have kept his gob shut.

lol Only people who agree with you should be allowed to speak.

Well my magical powers do not stretch that far. But people in public office should exercise restraint. Particularly when they are responsible for the welfare of children.
In some Israeli shithole there will be a young kid having a tough time for having two Dads. This piece of shit just made his life harder. Fuck him and all the rest of you wankers.

Are you that little boy?
