Earthquakes are caused by gays, says MP

AN Israeli politician has blamed a spate of recent earthquakes in the Middle East on gays

Shlomo Benizri of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party said the only way to prevent the earthquakes was for parliament to stop liberalising laws concerning homosexuals, AP reported.

“Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset (parliament) gives legitimacy, to sodomy,'' Mr Benizri said.

Mr Benizri said earthquake damage could be avoided if the parliament stopped “passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes".

Two earthquakes originating in Lebanon have shaken Israel in the past week. The first occurred two days after the Israeli attorney-general ruled that same-sex couples could adopt children. In recent years, Israeli courts have ruled that the government must recognise same-sex marriages performed abroad and grant gay couples inheritance rights.

The Australian left worries about right-wing religious lunatic politicians in the USA with their fingers on the buttons that can launch nuclear weapons. And forget about the similar lunatics in Israel, who are a *lot* more on edge, given the tendency of their neighbours to shoot over the fence and occasionally blow themselves up.

God knows what Shlomo will say if there's a suicide bomber in gold sparkly hot pants & a moustache, with the payload in a hot pink 'man-bag'...
