Israeli Knesset Member Blames Gays for Earthquake
Last Friday Israel experienced a 5.3 earthquake, the strongest earthquake in Israel for a decade. Apparently Gay Israelis have more power than we may have thought. According to MK Shlomo Benizri of the Shas party,
“the Gemara refers to earthquakes as disasters, but you are searching only for the practical solutions how to prevent and repair.But I know of another way to prevent earthquakes; the Gemara mentions a number of causes of earthquakes, one of which is homosexuality, which the Knesset legitimizes.”
This comes after Israel decided to let same-sex couples adopt. See that story here.

It’s so sad when people use religion as an excuse for hate. May he gain the strength to learn of the diversity of the Jewish people, and may he be healed from the ailment of closed-mindness.
