The first Hebrew city wants to be the first gay city. Work is underway in conjunction with the Ministry of Tourism to turn Tel Aviv into the international tourist destination for the gay-lesbian community in order to boost business in restaurants, hotels, city attraction sites and beaches.

“Gay tourism has been accelerated lately, and we are entitled to large support from the Tel Aviv Hotels Union and the Ministry of Tourism,” Shay Deutsch, spokesperson of the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual community, said Wednesday.

    What I find most disturbing about those with perverse sexual preferences is their attempt to claim the rainbow as “their” sign. Israel, for the Love of God, rally the flag makers and make it known, the rainbow is a sign of God’s promise!
    Let’s keep our sights on God’s promises! Don’t give ‘em the rainbow!

    I can’t believe that Israel — at this critical juncture in world events — would even think of allowing itself to be another site for the ‘gay movement.’ Israel, the only nation ever called by GOD, Himself, to bring forth His Word through the patriarchs & prophets, should hold itself to a higher standard for His Glory. This nation should be busy staying focused on our Lord through prayer and seek His Guidance during the increasing instability of its hostile Islamic enemies. Let the ‘rainbow gay parade’ flaunt its revolution somewhere else! I just can’t believe Israel would even consider being a participant.

    Good question Lisa! Brings to mind a few others. Is there sexual perversion, or sex at all for that matter, in God’s Heaven? Will there be in the New Jerusalem? There is nothing our God can not heal, no one our God can not reach! When our judgment of one results in condemnation, we underestimate the transforming power of our God and thus bring condemnation upon ourselves. With this in mind (and knowledge of many who have left the life style), I am still disturbed and very concerned about the battle for the rainbow. God’s promise vs. man’s perversion …Here and now. As for me, it will always bring to mind God’s Promise.

    Make A Differfence Ministries,

    There was a time when many “christians” were Israel’s “hostile enemies”. Think about how and why that has changed. As a Christian, I would ask you to pray for Islam. As your heart changes, so will theirs. For God’s Glory; not that of the Jew, Christian or Muslim.
