Rabbis Warn Gays in Military May Cause Natural Disasters
Rabbi Yehuda Levin, spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance of America issued the following statement:
"When Americans are suffering economically and millions need jobs, it's shocking that the Administration is focused on its ultra-liberal militantly homosexualist agenda forcing the highlighting of homosexuals and homosexuality on an unwilling military. This is the equivalent of the spiritual rape of our military to satisfy the most extreme and selfish cadre of President Obama's kooky coalition. We agree with Eileen Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness that this will hurt the cohesiveness of the military, cause many to leave the army, and dramatically lower the number of recruits, perhaps leading to the reinstatement of a compulsory draft.
"Thirteen months before 9/11, on the day New York City passed homosexual domestic partnership regulations, I joined a group of Rabbis at a City Hall prayer service, pleading with G-d not to visit disaster on the city of N.Y. We have seen the underground earthquake, tsunami, Katrina, and now Haiti. All this is in sync with a two thousand year old teaching in the Talmud that the practice of homosexuality is a spiritual cause of earthquakes. Once a disaster is unleashed, innocents are also victims just like in Chernobyl.
"We plead with saner heads in Congress and the Pentagon to stop sodomization of our military and our society. Enough is enough."

I am amazed that a Jew could spout such bigotry and hatred. Obviously, he is a Talmudic fundamentalist. I'm not Jewish, but if I was I'd be highly embarrassed by this man. Clearly, his ultra-orthodox views do not represent the mainstream of the Jewish community. I have many friends who are Jewish and they are, to the last man, supportive of gay rights and other liberal social issues. I would not like to hear Rabbi Levin's opinions on the Palestinian question. I would advise Mr. Levin that the Talmud or the Bible can both be summed up as "love one another, that is the whole of the Law". Mr. Levin's comments reflect the opposite of this.
Now here's a country that has had gays in the military for a long time. That country still exists. No natural disaster wiped it off the face of the earth. We have an openly Lesbian couple that attends services at our synagogue. One of them works at the military base as a counselor. Their presence over the past five years or so has never been associated with a natural disaster.
This stuff is just plain stupid. Gay and heterosexual people need to learn to live with one another on the same planet, in the same country, in the same army, in cities , towns, at restaurants, etc. We are all human beings. Stop trying to be mean and aggressive toward one another.
"We agree with Eileen Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness that this will hurt the cohesiveness of the military , cause many to leave the army, and dramatically lower the number of recruits, perhaps leading to the reinstatement of a compulsory draft."
They why isn't that the case in other nations that allow homosexuals to serve in the military?

God responds to guys getting it on by crushing everyone under rocks? What a wonderful example of how to deal with those who act in a way you disagree with!
What utter piffle! It seems rather strange to me that a Rabbi should hold such nazi views and even stranger that he gets publicity. Good to know he prays for us, I feel much safer.
