...and ALL of them are damned to Hell! But even for the traditionally lawless, God-hating kibbutz-nigras, these statistics are shocking.
And these are the people who control our media!
It's a bit of a relief that 12% of them think their own children should be killed for being homosexuals, but I smell a double standard—are any of them the least bit sorry for killing the Lord Jesus?
And these are the people who control our media!
Most Israelis would accept a gay child

Has your child come out of the closet? Ynet-Gesher survey reveals that most Israelis would accept that and go on as usual, but that 27 percent would cut off contact or limit it
“And if your son came to you and said, ‘Dad, I’m gay,’ how would you respond?”
If you’ve ever joined in a living-room chat, there’s no way you haven’t been asked that question. The uproar surrounding Jerusalem’s Gay pride events has abated, and now, a couple of weeks' later, we have some answers: According to a Ynet-Gesher poll, 73 percent of respondents would accept a gay child, even if it’s difficult, but for 27 percent a child’s coming out of the closet would affect the relationship with the child.
The survey was conducted by Mutagim among a representative nationwide sample of the adult, Hebrew-speaking Jewish population.
In answer to the question, “How would you respond if your son or daughter informed you that they have homosexual tendencies?” 43 percent stated that they would be very sorry but would accept their child and the child’s partner as they are, while 30 percent stated that “if this is what is good for him, I have no problem with it,” making a total of 73 percent who said they would accept their child’s homosexual tendencies.
In contrast, 15 percent said they would be very angry with the child but would maintain the minimal contact necessary, and 12 percent stated that homosexual relations are in the category of “be killed rather than transgress” and that therefore they would cut off contact with a gay child.
An analysis of the findings shows that women have greater tolerance on this issue than men: 79 percent of the mothers said that they would accept their children in spite of their sexual preference, and only 21 percent would let it harm their connection with their child, as opposed to 66 percent and 34 percent respectively for fathers.
