Poor Israeli gays. I really mean it. They might as well be Arabs. But at least if they were Arab and and the Arab world was expressing homophobic and ignorant views about them, every human rights organization and newspaper in the U.S. would have opined by now. I guess Foxman and Dershowtiz can sleep soundly knowing that Israeli gays don’t count in this country unless their situation can in some way cast Arabs or Muslims in a negative light.
Haaretz survey: Half of public thinks gays are deviants
Almost half of the Israeli population believes that homosexuality is a perversion. A Haaretz-Dialog poll, conducted under Prof. Camil Fuchs finds that 46 percent of the people surveyed answered the question "Do you see homosexuality as a perversion?" in the affirmative, while 42 percent answered that it was not a perversion. Twelve percent said they did not know.
