Thousands of people attended the 24th Jerusalem Pride Parade on Thursday, in honor of Pride Month.
As part of the opening to the event, former prime minister Yair Lapid announced that in the first 100 days of the next government, they would pass a law ensuring that all couples in Israel would be equal.
"Mother and father, father and father, mother and mother, all will have the same rights, all will be equal before the law," he said.
"We stand here with the entire gay community today to say: The situation is not a given, reality is not a decree of fate," he added.
"We are masters of our own destiny. If this government has a problem with LGBT people, then this government should go home, because the community is not going anywhere. Happy Pride Month. I am proud to be here with you."
MK Gilad Kariv also attended the parade. In a post on X/Twitter, he mentioned that the previous year had set a new record for violent incidents against the LGBT community.
"We will not give up the right of every young man and woman, every man and woman in Israel, to feel safe, loved, and valued," he wrote.

This is not what I voted for.
Wow…what’s wrong with Israel? We’ve had gay marriage and gay adoption (pedophilia) in all 50 states for over a decade. Israel must be homophobic!
“Mother and father, father and father, mother and mother, all will have the same rights, all will be equal before the law,” he said. Seriously, the Jews? Biologically there can only be a mother and a father, unless I missed something in Gray’s Anatomy.
Lapid would fit right into the USA DemoNaziCommie party as a Useful Idiot
You’d think they would learn from the problems this caused in America but liberals...you can’t fix stupid.
“Wow…what’s wrong with Israel?”
They need Jesus!!!
There’s no real pro-life movement in Israel either, and they lead the world in artificial reproductive technologies:
Estimates say 1/5 of all pregnancies in Israel end in abortion. Since 1948, more babies have been aborted in Israel than the number of children that died in the Holocaust.

Israel leads the world in IVF

Sorry, but “mother mother” doesn’t work. Nor does “father father”. It’s a binary, where two different sexes are needed for reproduction.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem...
Still a desolate house..
They are his chosen people, or so I’m told.
Tel Aviv, Israel, is widely recognized as a major center for LGBTQ+ life and a premier, gay-friendly destination, often referred to as the “gay capital of the Middle East”.
While Israel itself is considered the most LGBTQ+-friendly country in the region, the scene is heavily concentrated in Tel Aviv, which features a prominent, government-funded LGBTQ center and hosts one of Asia’s largest gay Pride marches.
Tel Aviv has a high concentration of LGBTQ+ residents, with estimates suggesting that 25% of its population is part of the gay community. It is known for its annual gay pride parade, gay beach, and vibrant gay nightlife.
Israel stands out in the Middle East for its pro-gay anti-discrimination laws and legal recognition of same-sex partnerships (those registered abroad).
In contrast, many neighboring countries enforce severe penalties for homosexuality.
While historically considered a “haven,” some reports
indicate concerns among LGBTQ+ Israelis regarding safety.
Tel Aviv is undoubtedly the primary hub for the LGBTQ+ community in the Middle East, attracting significant gay tourism.
What a horrifying statistic.
Major US pollsters are publishing data indicating a sharp decline in American support for Israel,
with recent 2026 surveys showing record-low favorability and high disapproval rates.
A Pew Research Center survey published in April 2026 found that 60% of American adults have an unfavorable view of Israel. ——— USA Today
Key Findings on Declining Support indicate Widespread Unfavorability:
The 60% unfavorable rating marks a 20-point shift since 2022. 80% of Democrats and 70% of Americans under 50 now have an unfavorable view of Israel. While most Republicans still hold a favorable view, a “Jewish Insider” analysis of the Pew data found that 57% of Republicans under 50 now view Israel negatively.
A February 2026 Gallup poll showed 41% of Americans sympathized more with Palestinians, compared to 36% for Israel.
Netanyahu Disapproval is high: 59% of U.S. adults have little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. ——— Pew Research Center
Addeddum: Does Israel’s unceasing bombing of Lebanon have to do with Christians making up about a third of Lebanon’s population of roughly 5.5 million people. With 12 Christian sects, Lebanon is home to the largest proportion of Christians of any nation in the Arab world.

Thx......great finds.
Amen. I know Jews in Israel who are born again and leading folks to Christ daily. What’s our problem in the USA?
“What a horrifying statistic.”
I’ve harped about that for years now and you all are just learning it? Yes Israel has abortion on demand and yes “Since 1948, more babies have been aborted in Israel than the number of children that died in the Holocaust.”
Why did they survive the Holocaust only to allow abortion on demand, then turn around and push for it in this country?
Two of the men who founded NARAL? National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws Lawrence Lader and Bernard Nathanson were both Jewish. Both OB?GYNs who did abortions. Bernard Nathanson. later repented, became pro life and a Catholic.
Dear Lord, once again, please be merciful to Israel for the sakes of Your servants Abraham and David. Amen.
Economic upheaval. Conflict with terrorists and terrorist state Iran. Geopolitical tensions.
