Blaming gays for Armageddon and the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict, as absurd as it sounds, is just what Rabbi Yehuda Levin did and implied: “The homosexualization of the Middle East, beginning with God’s backyard, is one of the end-day struggles that could literally lead to a spiritual and physical Armageddon in both Israel and spread back to America.”
According to Agape Press, a Christian Right “news service” and propaganda organ for Don Wildmon’s American Family Association, Rabbi Levin was convinced that Jerusalem’s hosting of World Pride would “bring on severe judgment from God.” He based his “reasoning” on the fact that “24 hours before the hostilities
began, an effort to get the government to rescind the permits for the week of pro-homosexual activities was rejected.”

“At a time when Jewish blood is being spilt in Lebanon, all that these self-indulgent narcissistic, selfish, perverted people can think about is engaging in sodomy,” said New York Rabbi Yehuda Levin, of the Orthodox Rabbinical Alliance of America and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the US and Canada, who has been spearheading an international campaign against the parade.
Levin, who was prevented by police from entering the park lest there be a violent confrontation, slammed police for “wimping out like French poodles” in not stopping the gathering.

gods backyard?!
(and on a side note:
the writer of this article, Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D., is doing the same ethnic propaganda by saying:
"Never mind that the religious-political forces warring in the Middle East have been at each other for millennia,"
I say, prove that claim - 'at each other for millennia'. what does he mean by 'at each other'?)
