How ironic that Schlissel rejects the authority of Israeli law. Were it not that Israel is a civilized, law-abiding country, he himself would have been shot out of hand, and strung up in the street as an example.
ReplyDeleteActually, if Israel were not a civilized, law-abiding country, the gays, especially the gays making a public march in Jerusalem, would have been shot out of hand, and strung up in the street as an example.

ReplyDeleteActually if it were it not that Israel is a civilized, law-abiding country, homosexuals, especially homosexual publicly parading in Jerusalem's streets, would have been shot out of hand, and strung up in the street as an example.
