Did the article interest you?
This is not the time or the place.
The parade is an event of tolerance, acceptance of difference, and celebrates the great historical development we have already made in accepting people with sexual preferences that differ from the majority (7 percent is quite a bit, by the way), and reminds us that there is still a long way to go, for example on the issue of adoption. On the one hand, it is a festival event, a celebration of the achievements that have already been achieved, on the other hand, a reminder of the goals that still need to be achieved. Therefore, such an event must take place in the city center, be visible, be observed, and invite participation. One can argue about the time and route, but the reactions of some of the writers here only illustrate the necessity of the parade.
This is the only place where it's appropriate to block traffic and scream with a megaphone.
You will be left with designers on your doorstep.
What pathetic responses from anti-democratic darkies
And the fact that you will demonstrate in the streets half-naked with obscene pictures will not convince those who oppose you to accept you; on the contrary, it will only cause them to reject you!
What a miserable man
Simply public irresponsibility! How can you block roads and main thoroughfares? What if, God forbid, a war starts? Is there an emergency? Patients who need to arrive by ambulance? What is this lawlessness? Go to the Carmel Beach promenade, there is no need to close traffic there and have a procession in the sea breeze, you will have fun and you will not disturb us and the patients and everything will be fine, think of others not just yourself! We understand that this is your choice, enjoy yourself but why bother us? And at a time like this when we have hostages?
There will not be a single sign against Hamas, the PA, and the perpetrators of the massacre…
There will only be signs condemning the government.
This is how the suicidal left is. Only surrenders, escapes, and deals in exchange for more incitement, terror, and massacres…
It is terrible and horrible to shut down an entire city because of the Pride parade and disrupt the lives of the residents.
Such marches can be held in areas that are not disruptive, such as the beach or the soccer fields... We're just tired of the disrespect for the residents.
If you want a "Pride Parade" this year = worthy!
Only after "submission" & "decision" = "total victory" definitely…!!!@@@ 😭😭😭😭
Why all this evil? What happened to the entire people of Israel? All the hatred, the evil. For many years, the Pride Parade has always been and will always be fun. Why not accept the different and rejoice in their joy? Of course, the evil of the people today is nothing but hatred. Shame on you, you have no heart. 😡😡😡😡😒😒😒
During the war? While the hostages are still in Gaza?! Are they proud of that?
We have a heart. And we accept what is different. Those who don't accept it are from the Latvian community. Haredi is assigned because of disgust. Putting on tefillin or praying in Kippur is already occupying the public space, Alek! They are the most dictatorial liberals against anyone who doesn't think like them. Or broadcasts on their same wave! Dancing naked in front of minors is a crime against any straight person who would do it in public space in the press like them. They have a legal junta that will prevent indictments against them on the grounds of public nudity!!!
And the same thing a week before? And every Friday? And every Saturday?
You will choke on your hatred and arrogance and may your anxiety eat you up from the inside until you become silent.
The municipality and its head want to show that they are enlightened and on behalf of minorities that they feel comfortable harming the majority that pays taxes and wants to live in peace without interruptions to their daily routine.
Carmel Center and Moriah Axis = LGBT protesters
Ben Gurion Boulevard = Hamas protesters
Horev Center and Moriah Road = Left-wing protesters
What will?!
Haifa Municipality, free us from all of this, set up an organized area on the beach where each group can hold its events according to a free date, free us from all of these protesters, they are only interested in themselves, they are just a nuisance to everyone else…
Just like that!
right
Enough already. Wasn't there a Pride parade a few months ago? What are they so proud of?
Just to disrupt traffic for a few dicks
Really tired and unnecessary.
It is neither pride nor shame.
These are people whose sexual preference is this.
That's all well and good, but why block main roads?
What's the problem with doing it on the beach, or as an event at Sammy Ofer Stadium?
Do they have to give their show?
I'm so tired of these pride parades, enough. Why doesn't the normal person have a parade?
Explain to me exactly what the pride is in this parade of shame while the kidnapped ones are there celebrating the parade of disgust and disgrace, so the mayor. Where are you, haha. I just forgot that there is a camera there. You did absolutely nothing and nothing for Haim Shmuel to the main deganiya. We pay the masseurs. Everything is fine. Hahaha. You're tired. Give the chair to Mrs. Sarit Golan, the next mayor who knows the job very well in this comfortable city.
Why don't they have the parade from 4 o'clock when the streets are almost empty? Shabbat starts at 7 by seven they are already arriving at Gan Ham, Gan Ham has events on Shabbat as far as I remember, but somehow the religious boycott the parade. And what's more, with all due respect, businesses are the main victims of the parade,
From personal experience, not a single marcher buys anything even though the streets are full of marchers.
Where is Rick at 4 on Wednesday?
Has your mind gone blank?
They moved all the events from the Carmel Center and the axis, only this parade was left. Why don't they move it somewhere else? It's always a disruption for the same people.
What a parade and what pride?!
Who needs that anyway?! – And also cause traffic disruption?! – You went too far!!!
(In contrast – on Simchat Torah, during the "Hakkapot" there are no disruptions to traffic despite the joy and pride that is special to the entire Jewish people!!!)
The obvious wisdom is – let all residents live in equality without them boasting "outside the box" about belonging to one "genetics" or another...
There are enough places to "group" without harming others...
And if you want to celebrate it – then please do so without causing any distress or literal disturbance to the different public…
Imagine (the organizers of "such a parade") what would happen if such a pride parade were routed to the Temple Mount.
Or to Mea Shearim?!
All these blockages for rectal prolapse?
So that they can pass with a tiny string and their eggs tied to a truck. Disgusting, sick people par excellence!!!
Finally someone "comes to the rescue" of the new "madness" that has struck the "Jewish state"...!!!@@@😂😂
Why harm the only traffic artery in Carmel and during peak hours at the end of the workday?
A municipality that is divided on all counts.
There are beach promenades. There is the Louis Legan Ham promenade. There is the Kishon Park. There is Hecht Park. There is the Kiryat Eliezer promenade. There is the Sammy Ofer Stadium. There is the Neve Sha'anan Stadium.
Why the hell would they close a single traffic route to residential neighborhoods?! What are the residents of Kiryat Sefer or Margalit or Carmelia supposed to do to be imprisoned?!
They're blocking the city with their trolling anyway, why not all of them together, why another day? Yahav - You won't be mayor anymore, that's for sure.
Let them march to Cyprus by sea. Why bother the public because of a few such patients?
Reality is changing and today the youth scene in all its diversity takes place in the Talpiot Market on Sirkin Street... and Hadar is generally mostly vacant. Why not move the parade there?
Why block such central thoroughfares that are so unidentifiable with the scene?
You yourself are sick.
Let them walk on the beach. Why should I suffer because of their illness?
Let them walk into the sea, as far as I'm concerned, what's between me and them? Why do I need to see them?
Another violation of the general public's freedom of movement
It's not enough to have protests all over the country every week.
Now individual freedom must also be violated for a parade.
What do you need a parade for?!
You can't have an event for them on the beach.
At the Congress Square? At the Rome Stadium Square
There are few places where events can be held without harming other residents.
Simply outrageous
Suitable for "foam lawns" - literally...!@
Personally – in favor of the "Artists" show = "a reason to party"…!!!@@@ Lucky they released JERUSALEM…
