He was a leader of German Jewish youth, though he held nationalist German and reactionary opinions. One of them was Hans-Joachim Schoeps, a Prussian Jewish historian and theologian. Closeĭuring the past 100 years, some Jewish thinkers set themselves a more ambitious aim: to prove that homosexuality is an integral part of the history of the Jewish people and Jewish tradition. The email address you have provided is already registered. Some of them permit intimate relations between males and prohibit only complete penetration, which is euphemistically called “entering like the brush into the tube.” And indeed, liberal rabbis, mainly in the United States, stress that the prohibition on sexual relations between people of the same sex is no harsher than the prohibition on desecrating the Sabbath, for example. In recent decades, religious LGBT activists have been making an effort to suggest new interpretations of rabbinical law that will enable Jewish communities to live in peace with LGBT people, and vice versa. Moreover, until the modern era, grown men who had a need for the favors of youths did not have a negative image in Jewish society. Historian Yaron Ben-Naeh has shown in his research that despite the explicit biblical prohibition, in Jewish communities in the Ottoman Empire same-sex relations were rather common. The Jews did not strictly preserve “the heterosexual principle.” Intimate relations between men existed in Jewish communities and apparently were also common. In any case, the historical facts indicate that Livneh and his ilk were and are mistaken. Nationalism and chauvinism always bear hatred of the other – be it a Jew, a gay or any foreigner. In our day, nationalists in Russia and various countries in Africa are claiming that homosexuality is a Western influence that must be combatted.

Thus the Nazis charged sexologist and gay rights activist Magnus Hirschfeld that as a Jew he “brought the oriental vice to Germany.” In general, there is a perception that homosexuality is a vice originating in the East. Many European nations identified gays as “Turks,” while the Turks themselves call gays “Persians.” Israeli President Ezer Weizmann, as is well-remembered, also said that there was homosexuality in the British army but not in the Palmach pre-state militia. For their part, the French considered it an English phenomenon: As late as 1991, French Prime Minister dith Cresson said that homosexuality belongs to “the Anglo-Saxon tradition” and is foreign to the French Latin culture. The English considered homosexuality a Bulgarian or French pathology. The history of homophobia in fact proves that Livneh’s claim (which many Jews have upheld and still uphold to this day) is, if anything, a “foreign influence.” Throughout the modern period nationalist homophobes have claimed that homosexuality is nothing but a degenerative foreign cultural influence on members of their people.

In the op-ed he claimed that for hundreds of years Jews in the Diaspora succeeded in preserving their communities from those “sexual perversions,” or as he phrased it: “It is totally absurd to have suffered for many generations in the Diaspora, while strictly preserving, nurturing and refining the heterosexual principle, only to return to the Land of Israel and renew the ‘gentiles’ abomination’ here.” Livneh was neither ultra-Orthodox nor Orthodox, but rather a Jewish nationalist, yet his main argument was that homosexuality is foreign to Judaism, constitutes a foreign influence by degenerate Western culture and should be combatted.

Why I, as an Orthodox rabbi, support legalizing same-sex marriage He wrote in response to calls at the time to cancel the sodomy law (which was ultimately cancelled only in 1988, thanks to Shulamit Aloni). On July 7, 1971, Haaretz published an opinion piece (in Hebrew) entitled “Israel or Sodom: Public condoning of sexual perversions – a grave matter.” The author, Eliezer Livneh (Liebenstein), was a former Knesset member from Mapai (precursor of today’s Labor Party) who become one of the main ideologists of the Greater Land of Israel movement.
