JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's attorney general refused to ban a gay pride parade in Jerusalem despite threats of violence from ultra-Orthodox Jews, instructing police and gay activists to try to work out a compromise, the police commander said Sunday.

A Justice Ministry statement said Attorney General Meni Mazuz ordered police to meet with gay activists "to work out a reasonable alternative proposal" for the march, set for Friday on a route through the middle of the city.

The meeting is to take place Monday, gay activists said, and a compromise was likely.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews have rioted in Jerusalem nearly every night over the past week, burning garbage cans, blocking roads and assaulting police officers in an attempt to get the authorities to call off the march, approved months ago by the Supreme Court. Many religious Jews, Muslims and Christians see homosexuality as a sin and the march as an affront to the sanctity of the holy city.

Oy vay. A fearsome bunch they are.



Why don't they just hold the march Friday night. I don't think Orthodox Jews are allowed to stab people on the Sabbath.

Now, the question is, which side does Meegook support Smile

I'd wager a months salary that he supports anyone who stabs gays. Be they Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, or Athiest.

PM me for my bank account number for your deposit.

Here we have a good example of the 2% telling the 98% how it's going to be.

No longer in the privacy of their bedrooms, but on the streets and in the faces of the 98%.

At least we have the 98% telling the 2% enough is enough.

Where do you get these figures from?
If you want to play percentages then we need to know how many people oppose the march. 98%? I doubt it. The majority, I don't know but wouldn't be supprised.

But I'm glad to see you have found some common ground with the Jew.

Don't you see? The promotion of the homosexual lifestyle is part of a long-range Jewish plot to weaken the Christian West, but now the plan is backfiring on the Elders of Zion. Can't you sheeple see the truth?

What 2% are you talking about? The Jews or the GLBTs?

My take on this is the march should be moved to Tel Aviv or another city that is liberal. Jerusalem is a city full of conservative Christians, Jews, and Muslims while a gay parade is usually not a conservative display of homosexual life featuring gays in business suits, speaking of their professions, prominent roles. It flaunts their sexuality. Even a comparable heterosexual event would be opposed. Of course, the fact that an Orthodox Jew stabbed a homosexual in a past parade is cause for concern. I am for it happening in Israel, but I am not sure if Jerusalem is the best venue for it, security wise.

1. Gays represent at least (and this is conservative) 10% of the population. So Meegook, its not 2%.

2. We predate Christians, Muslims, and Jews. They should just shut up and respect their elders in human civilization.

3. Why is it that the everyone else is allowed to have a parade, but gay people should just shut up. Nice, so u support the Islamofacists then?

I say we protest bearded men, dressed in black, with poor hygiene. I swear, those Orthodox freaks are like Amish, except filthy and without the charm.

I think someone should remind them about things like this:
