Recently I have read that some of them in New York are calling to the Jewish communities to attack gays and lesbians. In Jerusalem they were passing out pamphlets offering rewards for anyone who attacks a gay person. What the hell is wrong with them, have they already forgotten what it is like to be persecuted? Did they learn nothing from the Holocaust?

I don't believe you!!! Do you have a source for any of this to back it up?
I'm very proud of my jewish heritage and the way the jewish religion has ALWAYS been incredibly more accepting and understanding of homosexuality more than christians.

The Jews were persecuted thousands of years before the Holocaust. The Egyptians, Babylonians, and Romans all persecuted the Jews. The important thing is you can't judge an entire religion based on the actions of a few radicals. Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all Jews and Christians believe in violence against gays. In fact, all of those religions actually discourage violence if you actually read their holy texts fully and take nothing out of context.

No, the Jewish people while very stirct in beleif, and not accepting of this perverse sexual practice, are not promoting vioence against gays.
There are some liberal gay Jewish groups within the US.
I would say sorry This would not be an accepted thing they would do, it is either a small splinter group or merley a lie.
Thier Rabbi's, as true Christian ministers and priest, do and should denouce the life style as a sin and not acceptable to God.

The extremist variety of Jews are organizing to protest about gay people these days, because there is soon to be a big international gathering of gays and lesbians taking place in Jerusalem in the coming weeks. Apparently the extremists of all religious groups (Muslims, Christians and Jews) in Israel are getting together to discuss how to fight against this convention. Ironic, isn't it, that what is bringing them together is how they can organize their hate of others together!
Like any extremist religious group, they do not stand for freedom and respect of others, since they are blinded by their dogma, so you can't really expect that they would have learned anything from the Holocaust but to hate others in return.

Yes, this is unfortunately going on. But, these attacks are by ultra-orthodox Hasic (extreme right wing) Jews, and even among the Hasidic people, only a very small percentage support or promote these terrible attacks. The vast vast vast majority of Jews do not at all support them. Please do not judge the Jewish people by only the action of such a small minority.

I guess they are just dogmatic blinded by their belief.And may i add that the event about sodom and gomorrah is really a different thing,its not really about homosexuality .And it does not necessarily mean that its a sin to be a gay or a lesbian.They are people too.They have their own freewill too. God has also given them the gift of love.

as for ms sodomy there, The story of Sodom (Genesis 19):
The story about the destruction of Sodom is not about homosexuality. It is about the sin of breaching sacred hospitality.
that sounds terrible what you are talking about there, do you have any other info on this?
