New poll shows majority of Jerusalemites don't want 'pride parade'
IMM ^ | June 1, 2023

Posted on 06/01/2023 12:07:59 PM PDT by Conservat1

A new poll conducted by Miskar and initiated by the Bechira Foundation has revealed what Jerusalem residents think of the "Pride Parade" scheduled to take place on Thursday.

A full 87% of residents do not intend to take part in the parade or watch it, and 79% of Jerusalem residents oppose or are indifferent to the parade. Only about one-fifth (21%) of Jerusalemites said that they support holding the parade in their city.

The poll also showed that at least 87% of those who said they will not participate in the parade or watch it feel, among other things, severe hurt, shame, and sadness that the parade is taking place. Approximately 70% of Jerusalem residents believe that the municipality should not support the parade or hang "pride" flags throughout the city.

Over 55% of respondents say that the parade was forced upon the city's residents and that it harms the sanctity of Jerusalem; about 60% say that the Supreme Court should not have been allowed to force the parade to be held by means of emotional and ethics manipulations.

Rabbi Dror Arye, founder of the Bechira Foundation, said, "This poll is encouraging and brings joy. Jerusalem says a definite 'no' to the anti-normal attempts at coercion. Jerusalem residents see importance in preserving the city's special character; holding the pride parade greatly hurts the feelings of Jerusalem's residents, Jews and Arabs alike."

He continued, "The parade in Jerusalem does not bring benefit to LGBTs - it does the opposite. It hurts those who want to manage their tendencies and build a normal family, and even increases the rift and the alienation between the various populations which are hurt as a result of the secular coercion done in the name of enlightenment."...

It isn’t about what they want. People need to understand that.

I’m sure Haaretz / Soros will categorize Jerusalem citizens as supposed “supremacists”...

I felt the same way, let them live their lives anyway they want to, I didn’t give a crap how they lived their lives!! NOW I AM PISSED because they are SHOVING their BS down our throats and coming after the kids!! If you want to be gay or a trans freak more power to YOU and YOU ALONE stay the hell out of OUR LIVES and what we believe in FULL STOP!! There are actually a lot of wonderful gay people out there that live their lives privately with their partners, Rick Grenell, Tammy Bruce, Brandon Stratka, and many more!! They are NOT marching in obscene parades, running around in rainbow clothes, waving rainbow flags, I have respect for them!! This whole PRIDE MONTH CRAP is beyond ridiculous, live your life anyway you choose, DON’T SHOVE IT IN MY FACE!!!

IIRC, Muhammad taught his followers that it was okay to treat captured men "as eunichs" (forcibly sodomize them) as long as the captured men weren't Muslim and as long as the Muslim was aggressive not passive (I took that to mean the Muslim shouldn't be on the receiving end of sodomy). This was when Muhammad and his merry men were out terrorizing and the men asked Muhammad if they could use the captured men to satisfy their urges since it had been a while since they had been back home with their wives.

Almost a repeat of what Muhammad's terrorists had asked of him at an earlier time, except it was permission to rape female captives.

This depraved display should be limited to New Sodom only (Tel Aviv)

Jerusalem population is close to one million.
Approximately -
40% Arab
30% Hareidi (UltraOrthodox)
20% ‘religious Jews’ (mostly orthodox National Religious)

20+% support for Abomination Parade is probably an inflated number.

The biggest disadvantage people have in communicating this issue is that they bow and submit to their gods. They do this by adopting their language. Adopting “lesbian” or “gay” or “bisexual” and the acronym LGBTQP+ can be summed up in a straight forward PRO-SODOMY. It is straight (pardon the pun) and to the point. People who foolishly support the pride movement are pro-sodomy. Sodomy brings judgment from a Holy God. As you learn to use the language you find that people become convicted because they are in a place where they must judge their own actions against a Holy God. Hey, if you want to be pro-sodomy do as you wish! As for me and my house we will serve the Lord God of Israel! This month of June is when the demons of hell are going to rejoice in their pride and destruction. There is a Holy God who watches… pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray that Jerusalem will be delivered from these demonic forces of destruction! Above all be holy and repent of this foolish pride against a Holy and loving God.

For Spiritual Stability In Times Of Confusion

Father God, Your children are being deluged with many false teachers, damaging doctrines and deceitful tactics and the enemy prowls around like a ravenous wolf seeking to scatter the flock and shipwreck many of Your servants, and Lord, the church is being flooded with dangerous books and destructive media that is causing such confusion, and many are falling into the traps that the enemy is setting.

Look down in pity on all Your people, and guide them into the way of truth. Provide spiritual stability we pray, in the lives of those that have little or no sound doctrinal teaching. Raise up we pray, good men and ministries that are seeking to lift up the name of the Lord Jesus and teach the whole counsel of God.

Lord, it was the apostle Paul that warned us of the ravenous wolves that would scatter the flock, but You are mighty to save and we pray that You will continue to build Your Church and bring many to spiritual maturity, to the glory of Your name,

Amen.
