Israel banned from Madrid gay pride parade

June 13, 2010

MADRID, Spain (JTA) -- An Israeli float was banned from participating in a gay pride parade in Madrid.

Following Israel's interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla, Spain's Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals decided that their Israeli counterparts in Tel Aviv would not be invited to the event, which took place late last week.

"After what has happened, and as human rights campaigners, it seemed barbaric to us to have them taking part," Antonio Poveda, president of Spain's Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals, told the British daily The Guardian. "We don't just defend our own little patch."

Poveda told the French news agency AFP that because Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai had not condemned the attack, the invitation would be withdrawn. The float was sponsored by the Tel Aviv municipality.

The withdrawn invitation drew an angry response from Israel.

"I don't recall Madrid's gay organizations condemning any of the Palestinian terrorist attacks on cafes or buses," Tel Aviv municipality spokesman Eytan Schwartz told the Spanish paper El Mundo. "Islamist fundamentalists don't just want to finish off Israel, but they also believe homosexuals should 'cure themselves' or die."

Schwartz added that the Spanish federation should speak to the gay Arabs who flee Palestinian territory and other countries for Tel Aviv.

"They would be murdered at home if they revealed their sexuality," he said. "It is shameful that [the LGTB federation] should join with pro-Palestinian and fundamentalist groups, which are not exactly tolerant of homosexuality."

Good for Israel

But what if the sephardic Jews want to go back to their real home of Spain? I thought Europe was the real home of the Jews according to the anti-Semites? I would think they'd love having the Jews come back to their real home.

I just can not get my head around the sheer idiocy of these peope.  The gays should be placing Israel on a pedastel as the only country in the region where they have equal(ish) rights, can live in freedom and without fear.  They should be siding with a civilised Israel against a barbarous, savage enemy who would actually kill gays as quickly as Jews.  Insane.

[TheCoon]

Yup, gays standing up for people who murder gays for being gay.

Gays are quite confused in more ways than one!!!

[TruthSpreader]

Quite frankly. I'm glad.

[judeanoncapta]

Quite frankly. I'm glad.

Me too.

They should be stripped of their citizenship. Let them stay in Madrid.

Muslims murdering gays= would make me 

[MassuhDGoodName]

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION!

[Dr. Dan]

This is the funniest thing I have ever read.  If anything the openly gay Israelis would be natural allies of the Free Gaza people...lololol

This is welcome news.     An Israeli float certainly doesn't belong at an anti-Bible parade.

you hit the nail on the head.

I have read it already. The Israeli embassy in Berlin posted it on their facebook side. The comments were very funny. Some people wrote the same I was thinking. They are afraid of the Muslims killing them for Israeli participation? No, the Muslim would kill them because they are fag-haters.
Funny how these people exclude a democracy from their parade because they fear the fag-killers. I mean in Saudi-Arabia and Kuwait they have their heads cut off, in Iran they get hung up and in most other countries they get lashed and then go to prison for undefined time (sometimes lifetime).
These gays are really queer! 

[Yaakov Mendel]

We have come to a point where, if dogs could talk, they would launch a movement of dogs against Israel.

[MasterWolf1]

Hey,, in this case I am glad Israel is banned from such a disgusting display of fag parade

[Hyades]

Actually, I am not. Because it shows another case of isolating Israel. Fags or not. But it is a clear direction in the European population. They are willing to sacrifice Israel for their own peace.

[JTFenthusiast2]

I agree with the sentiments here that acknowledge the extreme stupidity of the gay civil rights movement.  What a bunch of disgusting, vile, anti-semitic and STUPID, knee jerk pu**ies.  I hope they meet their end under the blade of Islam.  Even this won't  teach them not to bite the hand that feeds them.  Once again Jews reaching out to the underdog only to be bitten.  Let these loathesome fags and dykes go to Iran, Syria, or Jordan and fight for a parade.  They'd lose their heads which would be no loss

[angryChineseKahanist]

What a loss. Its like someone telling you that your brother is not allowed to dive in the sewers.

This is just too funny! On so many levels.
