Four day pride festival to be held at Dead Sea, largest in history of Middle East
Jerusalem post ^ | April 20, 2026 | ESTHER DAVIS

Posted on 04/20/2026 12:41:29 PM PDT by Morgana

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.

Very true. Tel Aviv is seriously gay. On the other hand, as a solo female traveler (straight, obviousy..and also kind of old), Tel Aviv is the only city in the world where I felt safe going out by myself after dark. I don’t even do that in my US home town. It was wonderful to walk along the sea side and enjoy the night lights and music and people watch. Even enjoyed a drink at a beach bar and was left alone.

“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! “


“Pride rises at the lowest place on earth.”

This is coming from the official Twittter account of the State of Israel.

Or they are mocking the historic event.

(Or they are mocking the historic event.)

That could be exactly what is happening.

I think that’s likely what they’re doing.

These Gay Pride Parades
are an open-air rebellion
taunting Almighty God

Which is a very bad idea

As I’ve said before

Imagine if America and ALL Americans
were judged by the Evil Works of only
the Godless Reprobate Democrats

Son of Satan DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama
Transgender Day of Visibility Resident DEMOCRAT Joe Biden
Super-Gay DEMOCRAT Pete Buttigeg

Along with San Francisco Pride Parades
and other Democrat strongholds that
“celebrate” Sodom and Gomorrah

Thanks to a mostly Leftist Godless
Supreme Court Democrat Barack Hussein Obama
got his Homosexual Marriage 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If they get back into power, I shudder to think what they’ll do. Realistically, it’s going to happen sooner or later. If we think they’re evil now, just wait til they rule. Lord have mercy on us.
Of course, we all sin, but some don’t just sin, they’re corrupt and sold out to the devil. Even they, unless they have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, can be redeemed if they repent. Thank God for His mercy.
