Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn and another high-ranking MK in the Blue and White party promised the LGBTQ community that they will work on obtaining equal rights for members of the community regarding marriage laws, both in the Justice Ministry and in the political arena of the Knesset.
Nissenkorn announced that he would be meeting with organizers of the Toeva parade, together with Blue and White MK Eitan Ginzburg, who himself identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community.
“The Justice Ministry, under my leadership, will do everything in its power to obtain equal rights for members of the LGBTQ community,” Nissenkorn promised. “I believe that we will succeed in bringing about important steps toward progress within the political echelon of the government as well.”
In the past, initiatives for granting equality to the LGBTQ community met with fierce opposition from the public representatives of the Chareidi parties, at times even leading to fall-outs with Netanyahu and the Likud party.
B’Chadrei Charedim asked the heads of the Chareidi parties, Aryeh Deri, Moshe Gafni, and Yaakov Litzman for their stance on the issue but received no response.

If that happens, no country is safe for Jews
Be forewarned:- ותקיא הארץ את יושביה Get your act together, and stop spewing your filthy lifestyle.
No!
Now we know why there is a new outbreak of corona in Israel.
So what are they doing in OUR land?
If that is what they want let them move to Sweden.
OY LEROSHO,OY LESHCHEINO!
How shameful it is that the Polish president knows better than the Israeli “justice” minister! He stated that the danger from people pushing the above agenda was worse than communism- something that his country experienced.
This together with the proposed decriminalization of the dangerous and decadent drug cannabis amounts to nothing less than an attempt to demoralize and even destroy the Jewish State, chas v’sholom.
Who are the evil people pushing this?
We should have never formed a “unity” government
How can you have unity with people who want to destroy your way of life?
The Blue & White Part is a mixed bag, they should never have allowed certain members to achieve any positions of influence.
Netanyahu tried and failed to get a less “progressive” Minister of Justice.
I think, in fact, that was one of the main sticking points.
We could have gone on, they haven’t done anything about the Corona anyway, the “emergency” that caused the rush to form some type of government
Just remember, Rivlin is responsible for this.
They chided hareidi children for not showing him respect, who would respect this stupid president?
He never once spoke out against all the anti-Semetic slander lashed out against the chareidim during the election but expects people to show respect for a lifestyle that destroys our collective Jewish identity.
There can be no “brotherhood” with people who flaunt their rejection of one of the three aveiras that we are commanded to die rather than transgress.
Be”H, the government will fall before this rasha of a Justice Minister gets his way.
Well what do you expect from the erev rav ?
GROSS!!!
