The sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Shlomo Amar, is facing a backlash for his recent comments regarding the iniquity of the "gay pride" movement and the rampant homosexual activity in Israel.

"There aren't many 'Reform' Jews in Israel. In recent years they have been importing it, this culture. What they are doing is incitement. It is not a matter of personal distress; it's politics. I try to speak kindly, but I will not refrain from talking about 'Reform' or the [LGBT] abomination. I will not change what is written in the Torah... It is a cult of abomination. It is clear that it is abomination. The Torah punishes it with death. This is in the first line of serious sins. They say 'tendency', 'perversion' -- nonsense! This is lust, and a person can overcome it if he wants, as with any other kind of lust. This is one of the most forbidden types of lust; the most grave... There is no such thing as having understanding or tolerance for this."

-- Rabbi Shlomo Amar, Israel Hayom article, 2016-11-17

In the legends of the Jewish Torah, the ancient kingdom of Sodom was notorious for such practices and was utterly destroyed as a result. The fate of Sodom, located southeast of the modern Jewish State, has been a warning to the Jewish people for over 2500 years:

"For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves." -- Isaiah 3:8-9

The "Reform" Jews are a liberal American sect founded by Jewish Masons including rabbi Isaac M. Wise in the late 1800s. Together with the so-called secular (non-religious) Jews, they have rejected the commandments of the Jewish god in favor of the humanist / socialist "liberal" morality which now pervades the West. They are also the primary sponsors of the Zionist project. For background, see our article "Timeline of Zionism".

The "Israel Hayom" newspaper is owned by the family of Jewish casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, a major promoter of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the ultra-nationalist Likud Party. Adelson is also a director of the Republican Jewish Coalition in the U.S., and donates heavily to pro-Zionist politicians.
