In other news, San Francisco has slapped Tel Aviv with its purse.

[Bogie]

This is really nuts!

Sn Fran: Tel Aviv did What?
Philly: Made itself the Gay Capital
San Fran: Oh No He Di'int

Probably a good idea to move this "festival" out of Jerusalem.

From my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but it's a very devout city (for many religions) and and event like that may not go over well there.

Will definitely help Israel's image with the Arabs!

[Unam Sanctam]

Oy vey!

That's what I thought too.

[Sabramerican]

I just thought of one benefit.

You know who loves Gays.Really really loves Gays? Loves Gays more then it hates Israel and Republicans?

The New York Times.

If Tel Aviv is the Gay Capital and the Arabs kill a Gay, for the first time in its history the NY times may not find an excuse Islamic terror.

Except for that one hope: Israel has gone insane.

[Natural Law]

Don't read too much into this. Israel's hotel and tourism industry has been suffering for years due to the perception of danger from the intifada. If they can generate some business and buzz from this God bless them.

[Natural Law]

Although it is technically in the Holy land and does have a large number of devout inhabitants Tel Aviv is NOT a devout city. It is a modern, western, generally young city with a large immigrant population. It has great clubs, hotels, beaches and restaurants which result is a pretty wild night life.

[anotherview]

So, now a hotel association speaks for Israel? Their stupid statement condemns an entire nation. No wonder you made yerida. No wonder you are always predicting doom and gloom. You have no sense of what is meaningful and what is not.

I truly pity you.

[Sabramerican]

Can I quote you to those who accuse me of being a traitor to the US and loyal only to Israel? LOL

You don't think an attempt to designate Tel Aviv the Gay Capital of the World is insane? Has the idea been condemned by the Mayor? The Government?

Wonder the opinion of Haaretz and Shinui and idiots who support either?

[The Old Hoosier]

Wives of Tel-Aviv, beware what deadly diseases your husbands may pick up on the "down-low."

[Sabramerican]

Did you ever think of going into politics. Form your own party. You can be the next PM.

With the daily news that come out of Israel it is obvious there is a large constituency of the simple minded who are wrong just about everything.

[Jumper]

The joke over is this:

You to go Jerusalem to Pray

You go to Tel Aviv to Play

I'm not too sure that this place is the Gay Capital some might want you to think it is.

[DHak]

gay joos? who wudda thunkit

[Tokra]

Gays have one of the highest disposable incomes of any group you look at. (mostly because of good jobs and no kids). Any industry would be crazy not to take advantage of that fact. The tourism industry exists to make money - not to condone or condemn sexual preferences.

[Grzegorz 246]

"Oy vey!"

Exactly.
