O ye saye, for vs to retourne and become catholike, Why do ye not rather consider your owne infirmitie, and beare with others? what though some of the clergy do euill? Will ye therefore do worse your selues, and for the faultes of a fewe, to your vtter damnation forsake all? Had ye rather by your departing damne your selues, then other to do euill of whom ye haue no charge? Why do not ye your owne dutie, and leaue to looke with so curious an eye vpon the doing of others? What reason haue ye to forsake the catholike faith, because ye see default in their life, whose doctrine iustly ye can not condemne? Now because ye fo∣unde some of the clergie, and perhaps some Pope at times to haue done amisse, as it were playing at dice, ye left Pope, clergy, church, and al together, and so retourned from vs backe againe to the reprobate congregation whereof ye are, for if ye had ben of vs, * ye had remained with vs as S. For he that commaunded Peter to fede his shepe, commaunded also the shepe to submitte them selues to Peters feding and gouerning. Ye were sent by Christ to his vi∣care Peters successour to be fedde and gouerned like shepe vnder the shepeherd. Ye do well to compare your selues with this Cobilon. Were all naught for the fault of a fewe? Againe what pertei∣ned that to Cobilō? He should haue attended the busines he was sent for, not to haue cast of all together, because he sawe some do amisse ouer whom he had no charge. The king might be a worthy prince, his nobles of great vertue, his counsailours graue and wise, his souldiers valiaunt, his people obediēt: though some of the courte were founde passing the time at dice. He had rather do a fault him selfe by transgressing his com∣mission, thē beare with the fault of others, if it were any fault at all. Cobilon was maruelous precise, that could not abide some to plaie at dice. Did he well and like a good ambassadour, to des∣pise both the king and all the nation of the Persians, and straight waye to returne againe home leauing his message vndone, for that he foūde some of the court playing at dice? I thinke, were there any of you a Prince, he would not com∣mende his subiect, that should so do his message, or rather lea∣ue his message vndone, in so weightie a matter. Cobilon was sent to the king of the Persians to treate af a league. One held a sign that said: "Jerusalem is not Sodom".Īlon Sheler, CEO of the Jerusalem LGBTQ centre Open House, said this year's march was less about asking for breakthroughs in policy and more about "being able to walk on the street and not be bullied or to receive physical violence and verbal violence".*Your example of Cobilon, that liketh you so well, we ad∣mitte. "It's a democratic country and in a democratic country they are marching so we are protesting against it," he told Reuters as he stood behind a police cordon with around other, mostly religious Jewish men. Noting Ben-Gvir once promoted a "parade" of livestock meant to liken homosexuality to bestiality, she said it was "a really hard feeling" to see him as police minister.ĭescribing Jerusalem as a "mosaic" of differing views, Ben-Gvir said he would also safeguard the right to counter-protest.Īmong those doing so was Benzion Gopshtein, a veteran far-right activist - and father-in-law to Ben-Gvir's chief of staff.
"It's not a coincidence," said centrist opposition lawmaker Meirav Cohen. But that was cold comfort for a community that report a 400% increase in anti-LGBTQ incidents since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's religious-nationalist coalition government was installed in December.
The Islamist militant group Hamas also called on Palestinians, who contest Israeli control of Jerusalem, to "confront" the Gay Pride parade.
"I want to ensure that not even a hair on the heads of the marchers is harmed, and police are fully prepared," he told reporters as the parade kicked off, referring to some 2,000 officers deployed, some of them in plainclothes to blend in.Īhead of the event, police said three people were detained over suspected threats against the marchers. He describes homosexuals as his "brothers" and has promised security for all law-abiding citizens. This time, he was heckled back with chants of "shame" from the participants.Ĭatapulted into national politics last year at the head of the ultranationalist Jewish Power party, Ben-Gvir has disavowed his past remarks. Now Israel's minister for police, Itamar Ben-Gvir was on hand to keep order as some 30,000 people took part in the annual event that he used to heckle as an "abomination". JERUSALEM, June 1 (Reuters) - Accustomed to a hostile response from some religious residents of Jerusalem, participants in the city's Gay Pride parade on Thursday found themselves in the unwelcome situation of looking to a far-rightist former adversary for their protection.
