God punishes birds over gay rights
Hey! Now that goes too far. I love my parrots. The Gods love my parrots. Feh!
God punishes birds over gay rights:
Israel: A rabbi has declared that an outbreak of bird flu in Israel is the work of God. According to Rabbi David Basri, God is angry with some of the more left-leaning political parties.
The bird flu outbreak stemmed from far-left political partiesstrengthening and encouraging homosexuality,Rabbi Basri's son quoted him as saying.One of the parties aired an election commercial depicting two brides kissing. Some campaign advertisements also called for homosexual marriages to be legalized in Israel
Meanwhile, the same rabbi and his son are being investigated by police on suspicion that they are racist as well as homophobic.
According to suspicions, the Batzris allegedly made the racist comments at the conference which was held to rally support against the establishment of a bilingual school for Jewish and Arab students in the heart of the Pat neighborhood.Rabbi David Batzri said,
the establishment of such a school is a despicable and sinful act. An Arab cannot contaminate what is pure. It is forbidden to blend darkness and light. The nation of Israel is pure and the Arabs are a nation of donkeys. They are an evil disaster, an evil devil, and a nasty affliction.Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri said,
The Arabs are donkeys and beasts. They want to take our girls. They are endowed with true filthiness. There is pure and there is impure and they are impure.
