No, but we should abolish civil marriages and reestablish religious marriages as a legitimate form of marriage.

 @B32SQ6Fanswered…2mos2MO

Absolutely not. Studies show we are sure to face a population decline, and there are even signs of it already. it should be included in our own student's studies to teach students why same sex marriage is wrong.

 @9CQ3WYFanswered…2yrs2Y

What ever the fk it is, children should be kept out of this nonsense

 @9CQ22HZanswered…2yrs2Y

If applied, it should be uniform & not imposed on one religion only to bear the brunt of the imposition.

 @9WVSDF4answered…6mos6MO

If religion does not allow same sex marriage then there is no need to impose it on their tradition. Have a secular non religious marriage system under which same sex marriage can be allowed.

 @9T7ZNWManswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but the couple must not be legally allowed for adaptation because it might open sidetracking of child trafficking.

 @8T92DVKanswered…4yrs4Y

Allow same sex marriage across board.

US Jewish Groups Oppose Resettling Gaza

JTA — A number of major centrist and liberal American Jewish groups say they oppose the re-establishment of Israeli settlements in Gaza.The statements by some of the largest Jewish organizations in the country, made in response to press inquiries, come amid accusations that Israel has cleared out portions of northern Gaza, which Jerusalem has denied, and as far-right government ministers have called for resettling the Palestinian enclave. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir have also repeatedly called for Israel to encourage Palestinians to leave Gaza, drawing condemnation from the Biden administration.For several American Jewish groups — including some that have vocally defended Israel’s prosecution of its war in Gaza against Hamas — the idea of Israeli settlements in Gaza is a non-starter. Groups opposed to the idea include the Jewish Federations of North America, the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League. Also opposed are bodies representing the Reform and Conservative movements, which together can claim to represent the majority of American Jews.“The land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, indigenous to both Jews and Arabs, cannot be the exclusive domain of one people, but must be shared,” Jason Isaacson, AJC’s chief policy and political affairs officer, said. “Like the vast majority of Israelis, AJC believes that the re-establishment of Israeli settlements in Gaza, or a program of displacing Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, would be contrary to Israel’s interests.”Israel evacuated its Gaza settlements in 2005, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly ruled out the idea of re-establishing them after the war. But while most Israelis oppose the idea, more than a third — including 42% of Israeli Jews — support it, according to a recent poll by the Israel Democracy Institute. That includes nearly 60% of Israeli Jewish right-wingers, the current government’s voter base.“Ideas like settlement in Gaza are welcome, we need to remember that, in the end, that’s the biggest punishment for what they did to us on October 7,” Ben-Gvir said in an interview on Israeli radio this month, referencing the Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel, in which some 1,200 people were slaughtered and 251 were seized as hostages, sparking the war in the enclave.
