MEDIA ADVISORY, -- The following is submitted by Isaac & Shlomo Diamond:
Rabbis of the large Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem have strongly objected to a proposed "Gay Pride March" that has been scheduled, and approved by the Israeli authorities, to pass directly through their neighborhoods. They have penned a petition that has been signed by the residents of these neighborhoods, pleading to cancel the march. Lawyers representing the Orthodox Jews have presented the petition to the police and Israeli Courts. The petitioners urge the authorities not to expose their pure children, who were raised with age-old family values in a sheltered, religious environment, to the immorality which the bible cites as the cause of the great flood in the days of Noah.
