A prominent national Israeli rabbi sparked an outcry yesterday when he said that Israel has become an "LGBT-stan" inundated with a gay culture and urged his followers to "wage war" for traditional family values, the Times of Israel website reports today (March 7, 2018).
Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, who heads the Ramat Gan Yeshiva, told a right-wing religious conference that homosexual culture was "an illness that was spreading."
He added that Israeli culture now brands anyone who opposes homosexuality an "extremist."
Shapira emphasized there was nothing homophobic or extremist in wanting traditional Jewish values in family life.
