Universal love...

Right-wing activists have decided to protest coming Thursday's Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem, by staging a march of their own – in various Arab towns. They are protesting the fact that the capital's police are allowing the Gay Pride Parade, despite the fact that its religious community sees it as offensive. These are the same people who organised right-wing rallies in Arab towns, such as Umm al-Fahm, prior to the general elections not so long ago. The main object is to provoke and create hustle and the behaviour is a great example of severe intolerance and narrow-mindedness, spiced up with way too much oppressing aspects of religion. Why do the Arabs have to deal with these stupid morons in the first place? They have nothing to do with the Gay Pride Parade. They are only being exploited in the most despising way by these provocative troublemakers. These people are a disgrace to Israel and one of the main obstacles against bringing more freedom, justice and peace to the region. I know that the question about staging the Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem is a very delicate matter and even some normally open-minded persons I know, have expressed an attitude against allowing it, with the argument that Jerusalem is such a holy city. It is sad to see that so many people still hide intolerance and discriminative ideas behind a polished surface of political correctness...

It is still agood slogan:
Make love not war!
I have never understood why love raises so much hate.

Love sets you free and that is of course very frightening for those who want to stay in power...

Simple as that!

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but
you can learn how to play the game. It's easy.

There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It's easy.

All you need is love,
all you need is love,
All you need is love,
love, love is all you need.

förra årets pride i tel aviv var suuuperkul detta året ocså för den delen... förra året fick vi dock uppleva det akkt för komiska inslaget av superreligiösa tokstollar som ropade åt oss att inte ta in ungen på paradområdet för då kunde han bli smittad av vad de hade därinne...
heldre det än vad ni lider av sa jag... och min son viftade glatt emd sin regnbågsflagga

Låter härligt Anna! Nästa år följer jag också med på festligheterna! Detta året var det allt för mycket som hände på en gång för att jag skulle kunna hinna med allt. Bland annat flytta 3000 km... ;) Kram
