An Israeli MP has blamed parliament's tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently."

Ha! CLICK HERE to read the incredulous article accompanying this headline.

Israeli MP blames quakes on gays

Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest in Jerusalem
An Israeli MP has blamed parliament's tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.

Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave "legitimacy to sodomy".

Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.

Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.

Adoption

Mr Benizri made his comments while addressing a committee of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, about the country's readiness for earthquakes.

He called on lawmakers to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".

Israeli court rulings in recent years have granted inheritance rights to gay couples and recognised same-sex marriages performed abroad.

Last week, Israel's attorney general ruled same-sex couples could adopt.

    Why would God do that? Earthquakes would kill everyone, not just the gays. I think there has been too much inbreeding among the Orthodox jews. :)

    That's almost funny. Homosexuality is part of nature. Humans aren't the only mammals that have homosexuals in their population. Those animals are not extinct so I don't think God smites homosexuals. Unless his wife left him for a lady, how does other people's sexuality effect his life?

    Please don't let this man's comments influence your decision on Israel. This man is part of the CONSERVATIVE party in Israel and does NOT reflect what the majority of Israel thinks. Gays in Israel enjoy a broad range of rights, and freedoms which are not allowed anywhere else in the Middle East.
    thanks!

    They should be able to go as far as marriage and shared health benefits but they should NOT BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT!!! For the kids sake!

    I agree with Jackie, most of Israel isn't like this. Everyone has their nutjobs. And it's always the religious lunatics…COUGH Christians trying to pass laws because their religion says it is "right"! Thank god people are able to have the freedom to practice what we WANT in America! Don't push your shit on me or anyone!

    Re: geez – Fuck off, the most intelligent well-rounded person I know was raised by two lesbian women. And she wasn't "teased." You are just as bad/worse than someone who would tease a child about who is raising them if you think that THAT is a justified reason to keep loving parents from being able to adopt because of their gender.

    I am constantly amazed at how utterly ignorant (many, not all) religious people are. Have they no brains? If all of us would just wake up and realize that ateism is the only way to go! We have one life, so how about making the most of it?!?! And not waste time condemning others!
    Save yourselfs people! Not others!

    Re: geez – if they get teased and made fun of its ONLY by bigots like you… seriously, what makes you think you're worthy of ALL human rights but other people are only worthy of some? of course gays should adopt… their children will probably be way more accepting of all people as an outcome

    God hates Jews. Jews are responsible for all the problems in the world.
    Jews run the porn industry. Jews control the mass media.
    Jews make lies like the holocaust. Jews have sexy gays.
    Most Jews are gay. Israel has the hottest gays!

    DirtyJEwss is a prime example that anti-semitism is alive in todays day and age. How can you blame one race of people for all that is wrong in the world… that just as ridiculous as the gays being blamed for earthquakes.. you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Amazing gay marriage and adoption is allowed in Israel, but not in the U.S. The U.S. allows gay couples to adopt, but not marry. IDIOTS.

    Things like this frustrate me to no end because Israel is constantly having to defend itself without assholes like this guy making them look bad. I am Jewish but I don't agree with extremism in any religion. The point is that I've been to Israel and there is a thriving gay community there. Orthodox Jews only make up about 5% of the entire Israeli population (much to their dismay). I just resent the fact that people will only use instances like these as fuel for the fire to spew hatred. :(

    this man only represents a narrow view of Israel, like all politics in countries, conservative views exist.
    being an orthodox jew it is obvious that he would not condone homosexuality as would any devout catholic or muslim.
    citizens of israel have enjoyed equal rights and especially homosexuals have been granted opportunities and rights that other middle eastern countries would not even consider following.

    Dear Perez,
    I think you're awesome but please don't post hater articles about Israel. A lot of other countries have a much, much worse tolerance for gays, lesbians and transgender people. Unlike the US, Israel allows gay marriage, among other benefits. So if you see a silly article like the one you have posted, it's not even worth your time to post it. I would focus on issues that truly do affect LGBQT community.
    xoxo,
    Talya
