"Gay" 'Marriage' in Israel: Worse than Holocaust - Will Cause Terrorism
Warns Rabbi Levin*
Says "far worse to allow the homosexualization of the Holy Land than to
give back land to the Arabs"
By John-Henry Westen
BROOKLYN, NY, November 23, 2006
(LifeSiteNews.com) - In an interview today, LifeSiteNews.com spoke with
Rabbi Yehuda Levin, the Special Emissary to Israel for The Union of
Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada and The Rabbinical
Alliance of America, about the Israeli' High Court of Justice's ruling
today that homosexual couples married abroad will be registered as
married couples in Israel.
Rabbi Levin recently returned from Jerusalem, where he represented over
1,000 Rabbis in a coalition of Christians, Jews, and Muslims who
successfully stopped a homosexual WorldPride parade from taking place in
the Holy City. He drew a link between the movement behind the parade
and the 'marriage' decision. "My first reaction is 'I told you so, I
warned you, I said this wasn't about a parade, it wasn't about an
international convention, it was about the homosexualization of the Holy
Land and by extension the Middle East," he said.
A THREAT TO AMERICA
The internationally respected Rabbi warned, "This is a direct threat to
people around the world and especially the Americas." He explained,
"Certain elements of the Muslim international community have been
waiting to be able to point fingers at the relationship between Israel
and America to be able to state that America has exported the worst part
of Western culture to Israel as a portal to this section of the world -
the Middle East."
"Consequently, I am fearful," he continued, "that at some point they
will be able to defend their use of terrorism against American citizens
throughout the world by saying that the ugly American has now exported
their ugliness into the Middle East."
NOTES CHRISTIAN SILENCE ON GAY AGENDA IN ISRAEL
Rabbi Levin was critical of the slowness of Christian leaders,
particularly in America, to challenge the Israeli leadership's support
for the homosexual agenda. "I feel very clearly that there is a
star-struck attitude on the part of Christian leadership when it comes
to Israeli leadership," he said.
He noted that while vocal on the land-rights of Israel, several
Christian groups have been slow to protect Israel from the homosexual
agenda. "It is far worse to allow the homosexualization of the Holy
Land than to give back land to the Arabs," Levin told LifeSiteNews.com.
"A SPIRITUAL HOLOCAUST" - "WORSE THAN A PHYSICAL HOLOCAUST"
Rabbi Levin stressed the severity of the situation saying: "There is
something worse than taking an innocent person and exterminating them in
this world, and that is when you take a person and exterminate him in
this world and in the next world. You do that by bringing him into
licentious sin. That way you are killing him, as our Rabbis taught in
the Talmud over two millennia ago, you kill the person in this world and
in the next world by bringing him into licentious sin whether its
adultery, or other perversion or homosexuality, sexual sin. That is
worse than killing."
While he stressed that this would never excuse any type of genocide or
holocaust, he added: "Therefore on a certain level, even anti-Semitism
that leads to the destruction of the Jewish people, is not the ultimate
evil. The ultimate would be to take the Jew, or anybody else, and
attempt to destroy them spiritually. That would be the ultimate holocaust."
APPEALS TO CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS TO JOIN FIGHT
"In as much as this is a Jewish struggle, for everyone who finds the
Holy Land holy it is obligatory on them around the world to rally
together with the forces who stand for morality," said Levin. "It is
essential for Christian leadership in America to take strong action."
Rabbi Levin told LifeSiteNews.com that he has been working with
Christians and even Muslims on the issue in Israel. "Because of the
threat of worldwide homosexualization of the world," he said, "it is
imperative that forces of faith across religious boundaries, that devout
Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews and even Muslims, work together in as
broad a coalition as possible to protect God's standards."
Rabbi Levin explained that the threat was coming not only from
homosexual activists but from "homosexualists, meaning people who are
not necessarily homosexual but are pushing the agenda, because somehow
it gives them a kosher stamp of approval to be involved in heterosexual
misbehaviour."
A FINAL PLEA
"If people of faith are serious enough then there's a hope to stem the
tide of immorality," Rabbi Levin told LifeSiteNews.com. "But if we turn
the other cheek to this evil, then we will all suffer worldwide.
Because as the holy land goes, so by extension, will other areas of the
world go. It will incur God's wrath."
"Fight with every fibre of your being the spiritual holocaust," he said,
"which is robbing the values of the Jewish people in Israel and of the
Christian people worldwide."
He concluded: "The most effective way of showing an opposition to the
historic holocaust is to stop the holocaust of the spirit which is being
perpetrated by the militant homosexual agenda."
