Netanyahu Speaking About Gays

PCG tends to adore Netanyahu. In recent times they have even compared him to Churchill and Moses. But they present a rather sanitized portrayal of Netanyahu to pursue their interests in convincing PCG members that they dogmas and dire predictions are true. Inconvenient facts are left out.

Here's one story about Netanyahu that the COGs will in all likelihood ignore.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed his support on the Knesset’s first designated LGBT Rights Day on Tuesday.

Netanyahu rarely appears in the legislature on Tuesdays, a day on which it usually does not hold important votes, but he arrived specially to participate in LGBT Rights Day, during which discussions of the topic were held in the plenum and committees.

The prime minister briefly addressed the plenum: “I know that there were important and lengthy discussions today, and I came here in the middle of my schedule, which was no less busy, to say one sentence to the members of the LGBT community: ‘Every man was created in the image of God.’ That is the idea brought by our nation to mankind thousands of years ago, and it is the principle that must guide our national lives today.” (Jerusalem Post, February 23, 2016.)
It should be noted that PCG fairly often cites The Jerusalem Post so it is somewhat likely they noticed this article. As far as I know they have said nothing in public about this.

In recently years various sectors within the State of Israel has been promoting it as a haven for gays and have made advertising campaigns to encourage gay tourism to Israel.

Some activists have condemned this as a public relations exercise that fails to address the problems facing the State of Israel and have labeled this pinkwashing.

Of course not every part of Israeli society is like this.

Why don't the COGs notice these things?

  1. Armstrongism is just so ridiculous that you aren't ever going to get any public figure totally endorsing it. So, you may as well just settle for what you can get. If Netanyahu is just a little pink, who cares? That is how the ACOGs think!
