The homo lesbian community in Israel, is located mainly in Tel Aviv. There are alot of special places for them, like night clubs and even Restaurants. Also, there are teenage hangouts and support groups. Homo lesbian people are considerd "different" from straight people. Because of their attraction to the same sex, they are often treated as if they are not people at all.
The assasination of 2 people (a teenage and an adult) in the place called "Bar Noar" was a really shocking thing to hear because at that very moment I was at a friend's house who planned to go there that evening ! It was really scary and blood boiling that someone did such a thing because he didnt like the way they lived. I think the killer did it because it's what he knew from home or from his community ,where homo - lesbians are often misjudged.
That man didn't curse them or throwed a rock at them. He went beyond that. He went to the ONLY place gay teenagers had to talk and receive help. It's equilivent to having someone come to your home and spray some bullets, kill 2 people and leave. You won't feel safe at home ever again.
I go to a place that is simply a teenage meeting place and it has voulenteers there and I couldn't stop imagining that the same thing could happen there. And we should make people understand that people who are diffrent shouldn't die for it.
