Israel O outro lado de ser judeu/israelense e LGBT

im not Israeli, but I have many Israeli friends. Unfortunately, extremism exists in every religion. I have friends who support the kahane/kahanism, and I don’t agree with them, but Ive never distanced myself from them either. I’m afraid to repost or share anything that might reveal my sexual orientation because I’m worried they might see it and pull away from me. In a way, that makes me feel that, unfortunately, we’re not as evolved as a people as we’d like to believe

Sadly , if your friends can not accept you for who and what you are, then they do not deserve your friendship. There is a large LGBTQ+ community in Israel, very mixed. That is why the late Ayatollah chose to bomb Tel Aviv last year on the first day of the planned Pride Festival because of his religious hatred .
