Volgens de religeuze Shas-partij veroorzaken homo’s aardbevingen. Harder optreden tegen homoseksualiteit zet meer zoden aan de dijk, dan het wapenen van lokale overheden tegen de recente aardschokken, zegt Shas Knesset-lid Shlomo Benizri.

“Opvallend dat een religieus politicus aardbevingen niet toeschrijft aan God”, zo reageerde de voorzitter van de Israelisch homobeweging. ”Aan de andere kant is vleiend dat hij ons buitenaardse krachten toedicht.”

There, we said it

De deelname van Shas aan de coalitie van premier Olmert is cruciaal voor het voortbestaan van het kabinet. De partij heeft al meerdere keren gedreigd het kabinet op te blazen. Shas wil niet dat er onderhandeld wordt over de toekomst van Jeruzalem. De stad moet ongedeeld in Israelische handen blijven, zo eist Shas.

Shas MK blames gays for recent earthquakes in the region

Shahar Ilan, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press

Shas MK Shlomo Benizri blamed gays Wednesday for the earthquakes that have shaken the region in recent months, telling a Knesset plenum debate on local authorities’ earthquake preparedness that government action on homosexuality would do much to prevent the tremors.

Benizri said the government should not make do with reinforcing buildings, but should instead pass less legislation that encourages homosexuality and other “perversions like adoptions by lesbian couples.”

The ultra-Orthodox party MK invoked passages from the Talmud and the Gemarrah to support his claims.

“Why do earthquakes happen?” said Benizri. “One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy.”

“A cost-effective way of averting earthquake damage,” he added, “would be to stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the State of Israel, which anyways causes earthquakes.”

Mike Hammel, who chairs Israel’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Association said in response that “religious MKs are apparently competing to see who can disparage [the gay] community more.”

“This is a sad competition that shows how dark Shas MKs are,” he said.

“On one had, it is said that a religious MK doesn’t believe that earthquakes are caused by God,” he added. “On the other hand, it is flattering that he attributes supernatural powers to us.”
