"The government of Israel's social media account promoted an event called Pride Land, 'the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East.' As might be expected, the right flipped out."
"'Wickedness like this is why Christians take issue with any thought of standing shoulder with & celebrating the modern state of Israel,' pastor Tom Ascol posted on X."

They condemned the event, linking it to biblical cities of sin, and expressed their disapproval of Israel's actions, including a recent incident involving an Israeli soldier.
