(Genesis 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, AND, LO, THE SMOKE OF THE COUNTRY WENT UP AS THE SMOKE OF A FURNACE.)

Israel is set to host the Middle East’s largest ever LGBT festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026.
The new festival, Pride Land, intends to transform the middle of the Judean Desert into a colorful pride city from June 1 to June 4.
The event intends to create an experience broader than parties or performances, instead aiming for a space that is alive 24 hours a day, with 15 hotels, beach complexes, parties, and a central performance arena all operating around the clock.
Alongside the nightlife, Pride Land will have cultural and art complexes, relaxation and scenic areas, and family-friendly areas with children's activities, family-friendly workshops, and customized events.
The organizers hope to create a multigenerational “Pride City,” not just a party celebrating pride. “This is not just another festival, it's the biggest thing we've done here,” explained Aaron Cohen, main producer and initiator of the festival.
“We chose to grow," Cohen added. "To take an investment of millions, purchase entire hotels for 4 days, and build a city from scratch in the middle of the desert. It's an experience that lives 24/7, from quiet visits to nights of pride, with a living envelope of music and people.”
This is not just a pride event; it also aims to highlight the Dead Sea region as a permanent destination for LGBT tourists, emphasizing that Pride in Israel extends beyond the key hub of Tel Aviv.

Just because the homo orgy fest is in Israel that does not mean that Israel is hosting it.
By all means, send them one.
OMG!! HOW GODLESS!!!! NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!!! SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!
My Jewish husband cannot believe how many JEWS are HOMOS!!! So many LESBIANS and GAYS, his religion will be EXTINCT in so many years!!
So....what is it that they are so proud of?
Sodom was right by the Dead Sea, too
hummmmmmmm?
I googled it...
While national data varies, studies suggest roughly 8–15% of Israeli adults may identify with the LGBTQ+ community or have same-sex attractions, with significantly higher concentrations in Tel Aviv, where estimates reach 25%. Israel is considered the most LGBTQ-friendly country in the Middle East.
Tel Aviv Density: Tel Aviv is considered one of the world’s most LGBTQ-friendly cities, with approximately 25% of its population identifying as LGBTQ+.
National Demographics: A 2012–2015 study indicated that among Israeli Jews aged 18–44, around 11.3% of men and 15.2% of women reported attraction to the same gender, while 8.2% of men and 4.8% of women self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
Bisexuality Rates: Some research has suggested a high percentage of individuals in Israel may identify somewhere on the bisexual spectrum rather than exclusively homosexual.
Political Representation: As of 2020, about 5% of the Knesset (parliament) consists of openly gay lawmakers.
OMG!! I was just noting the GAYS in AMERICA!!!!
That’s it! Withdraw all support!/SARC
Unfortunately, the US has a lot of events like this. Let’s just denounce the entire country for our sins, stop supporting our military, and stop supporting our President. You need to tear down both countries for the sins of a percentage. After all, if one of us (or them) is guilty, we all are! Oh, and find me a perfect country with no sin. That’s where I want to live!
Tel Aviv a big gay city. Lots of LGBT there.
Yes. Today’s liberals are re-creating their original sins. In their original sets.
Largest in the Middle East recently.
The gays in America will probably fly over to attend this too.
(Sodom and Gomorrah are located
at the bottom of the Dead Sea.)
Yes it is believed that the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah were located
near the Dead Sea
What a place to have a Pride Parade
😲🤯😱 🙄🙄🙄
You can’t make this stuff up 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
Doom Town

Not physically or spiritually helpful. May they find a better path in life.
Recreating Sodom and Gomorrah.
How dare you bring Rationality to this (Screed) discussion. ;)
Seems appropriate. Almost mocking. But appropriate.
