Jerusalem Official Hitched to a Donkey, not Facing its Ass………
“Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Itzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) has asked police to enable him to hold a donkey parade at the same time as the Gay Pride Parade scheduled for Thursday and in protest against that event. Similar events have been held in the past by right-wing activists and various religious figures. Pindrus' request has not yet been granted, but his office confirmed they have no intention of giving up the protest against the gay community. They even noted that if necessary they would petition the High Court to allow them to hold their parade. "Doesn't a donkey have a right to be a donkey?" Pindrus said to Ynet. "This is a democratic state, so we will not accept the claim that donkeys have no right to march. There are donkeys who are proud of their donkeyness and want to have a parade." The municipality was anxious to emphasize that the deputy mayor's intentions were unknown to them and that this was a completely private initiative, unconnected to the municipality. Pindrus said that though the protest did not gain municipality support, it nonetheless represents a wide section of the population……..”
The official said that “There are donkeys who are proud of their donkeyness…..”, and he sure is of his own. It would be more appropriate for the deputy mayor to sit astride the donkey backwards, facing its ass. Very appropriate indeed.
