Appropriate? I'm going to say absolutely inappropriate.






No end of conflict in the Middle East. Palestinians who hate Israel. Jews who don’t trust their neighbors. Al-Qaida members who hate the West. Shariah that designates homosexuals for execution. Terrorists who seem to hate and want to blow up everybody.







And the message on Thursday from Dan Shapiro, the U.S. Ambassador at the embassy in Tel Aviv?

Happy “gay” week.

With the rainbow flag on the flagpole, right there just below Old Glory.

“For the first time in history, the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv has raised the Pride flag together with our American flag,” he posted on Facebook, accompanied by a photo of the embassy, and the flag.

“We are proud to join with the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo and its residents in celebrating LGBT Pride Week.”

Is this in honor of Ambassador Stevens?

Israel has passed several gay rights laws over the past few months, including allowing gay couples to use surrogacy.

Just saying because this probably isn't that big a big deal in Israel.

The ambassador?

Why because he celebrated a local custom and culture? because he embraced a big point of pride of the country he is ambassador to?

I'm not and i don't.
just wondering why you wanted to send our ambassador to Israel and Tel Aviv to a Muslim country?

He was just embracing the local culture and customs as a good ambassador should do

The local culture is predominantly gay? There are plenty of social conservatives in Isreal. It probably pissed off just as many Israelis as it pleased.

I have no problem with the gay flag, I support gay marriage, and on and on


but holy hell, what the frick are we doing?

3rd world shitholes who are the agents of tyranny and stand opposed to the most basic human rights (free speech, fair trials, voting, owning guns, etc.)

our politicians are so out of their league on the international stage. America is so great, we have time to "struggle" for gay people to get married. By flying this flag, we've really chosen a low priority on the freedoms we want to rub in their faces. They probably are having a good laugh. Also, what the frick are you doing? Volatile region marked by extreme religious adherence...yeah let's instigate and fly a fricking gay flag over their holy land


We should be rubbing freedom in their faces. Most of the country does not have gay marriage, so what's the message? frick you muslims, we support gay marriage, except we actually don't...so I guess we should fly this flag in our own faces.

Terrorists don't like homosexuals, but that's not the war they're fighting and if it was, it is pretty low on the priority list of shite they're jihading over


what the frick is the point of this? Dan Shapiro...another dipshit out of his fricking league.

I'm assuming this is directed at the Islamic people living in Israel...geez, makes my head hurt thinking of how fricking asinine this is. Want to fly a flag? If only there was one flag encompassing all of the freedoms that represent America (or at least the idea of America) hmmmmmm...if only there was such a flag.

Flying the rainbow flag is a local custom in Tel Aviv?

the American flag is supposed to be a sacred flag that preserves the memory of the people who fought for our freedoms, our freedoms themselves, etc.

The only people I expect to treat it with reverence is the government itself. It debases the flag and the people who have died for it to fly this stupid fricking flag (or any flag except maybe the MIA/POW flag underneath it.

in summary, dan Shapiro...go frick yourself.

If there is one thing I know, it's that Jews love their gay sex.
