The Israeli Knesset is about to make a tragic mistake with far reaching consequences if it votes to ban Gay Pride rallies.

American Jews overwhelmingly reject the intolerance of our homegrown Christian Right, so the notion that we will blindly support Jewish Pat Robertsons in Jerusalem is a dangerous miscalculation.
