WASHINGTON - Israeli pride in New York. Some one million people attended Manhattan's 41st annual Gay Pride March on Sunday. A delegation of some 200 Israelis could be found among the crowd, as streets and balconies were adorned with rainbow flags.

Israel is the only country to participate, for the third year in a row, in an organized manner in the world's oldest gay pride parade.

A group of Israelis traveled to New York City just to take part in the march and waved flags saying, "I am a proud Israeli."

Among the parade participants were also employees of the Israeli Consulate in New York, as well as representatives from Israel Gay Youth and the Tel Aviv Municipality. Many passersby tossed curious looks at the Israelis, who appeared together and carried state flags.

The parade began in the afternoon at the corner of 5th Avenue and 36th Street, and ended two hours later at Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. Many then continued on to Pier 54 for a party.

The parade is a tribute to a police raid on the gay bar Stonewall, which took place on June 28, 1969. The violent clashes urged the community to begin the tradition of the pride parade.

Because I Love A Hot, Wet Jewish Boy…
from www.hitdanback.com

Look, I can’t lie to you…

The idea of Eyal Feldman (owner and creator of “BOY BUTTER“) stripping down to a speedo, slathering himself in some friction-resistant grease, and hopping into the Sea of Gaililee for a long, hard workout might be the only sexual fantasy that I can share with all of my Jewish relatives…
Which is nice, in a way…
Anyhoo, Eyal’s GOING TO DO JUST THAT… and for two great causes; SAGE (Seniors Active in a Gay Environment) the world’s oldest and largest non-profit agency dedicated to advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender seniors and The Jewish Home for the Aging in LA…
I’m going to donate some cash to support Eyal and I hope you’ll do the same…
If not because you feel an obligation to the gay and/or Jewish communities…
Well, because the laws of incomprehensible (yet Kosher) SEXINESS compel you to do so…
Which, lest we forget are working overtime in EYAL’S favor…

Jesus Walked I Swam - Sea of Galilee Swim for Charity!

Have you heard of Jesus? Well he is the Jewish boy who was famous for walking across the Biblical Sea of Galilee. Well almost 2000 years later this Jewish boy will be swimming across, and I need your help!

        My name is Eyal Feldman and this summer I am swimming a lone marathon swim across the Sea of Galilee in Northern Israel (largest body of water in Israel) on the morning of July 15th, 2010. This will be a non-stop 6 1/4 mile (10 km) marathon swim from the west shore to the east shore of the freshwater lake. Safety precautions are being taken as the rest of the Feldman family will sail alongside me for safety and to root for me on my swim. I will be raising funds equally for two organizations that I have volunteered for and that provide services for the elderly in both Los Angeles and in New York City. They are both very close to my heart.

1) S.A.G.E. Established in 1978 S.A.G.E. (Seniors Active in a Gay Environment) is the world's oldest and largest non-profit agency dedicated to serving and advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender seniors.

2) J.H.A or The Jewish Home for the Aging in Los Angeles established in 1912 The Jewish Home is a non-profit organization that has been the place of safety and security, activity, wellness, and longevity for Jewish seniors — regardless of their financial ability — in a caring environment reflective of Jewish ideals.

I am asking my friends and loved ones to sponsor my swim with a donation of at least $30 or more.  We will collect all the funds and distribute them evenly between SAGE and the Jewish Home for the Aging. Every donation is eligible for a tax deduction.
Please make checks out to the organization of your choosing, either SAGE or JHA or two separate checks for both and mail them to my office at:

BBL LLC
Attn: Eyal Feldman
234 Fifthth Ave # 407

Thank you so much for your faith, love, help and charity to help do more good in this world.

Ex-Spain PM: If Israel goes down, we all go down

In Times op-ed, José Maria Aznar asks West to remember Israel its only ally in 'turbulent' region

Ynet Published:

06.17.10, 13:06 / Israel News

José Maria Aznar, former prime minister of Spain, published an opinion article with the London Times Thursday saying the world must support Israel because "if it goes down, we all go down".  

Aznar, who has joined the 'Friends of Israel' campaign to which David Trimble, a foreign observer taking part in Israel's flotilla raid probe, also belongs, calls on Europe to refuse to put up with cries to eliminate Israel as part of global Christian-Jewish cooperation.

Aznar also criticizes Turkey, to which the Marmara belonged, for placing Israel "in an impossible situation" in which it would have to either give up its security or face world condemnation.

The former prime minister calls on the world to "blow away the red mists of anger" and take a "reasonable and balanced approach" based on the fact that Israel was created by a decision of the UN and therefore unquestionably a legitimate state.

"Israel is a nation with deeply rooted democratic institutions. It is a dynamic and open society that has repeatedly excelled in culture, science and technology," he adds.

However, he says, "62 years after its creation, Israel is still fighting for its very survival. Punished with missiles raining from north and south, threatened with destruction by an Iran aiming to acquire nuclear weapons and pressed upon by friend and foe, Israel, it seems, is never to have a moment’s peace."

Aznar says the real threat to the region is extreme Islamism, "which sees Israel’s destruction as the fulfillment of its religious destiny and, simultaneously in the case of Iran, as an expression of its ambitions for regional hegemony".

"Both phenomena are threats that affect not only Israel, but also the wider West and the world at large," he adds. Aznar concludes by saying that Israel is the West's first line of defense against the chaos set to erupt in the Middle East, and therefore must be protected.

"It is easy to blame Israel for all the evils in the Middle East," he writes. Some even act and talk as if a new understanding with the Muslim world could be achieved if only we were prepared to sacrifice the Jewish state on the altar. This would be folly."

"Anger over Gaza is a distraction. We cannot forget that Israel is the West’s best ally in a turbulent region," Aznar writes of the IDF's calamitous raid on a flotilla bound for Gaza on May 31.

"In an ideal world, the assault by Israeli commandos on the 'Mavi Marmara' would not have ended up with nine dead and a score wounded. In an ideal world, the soldiers would have been peacefully welcomed on to the ship."

Michael Lucas: Europe's Trouble with Israel

Read original posting on the Advocate here.

COMMENTARY: Porn entrepreneur and Advocate columnist Michael Lucas asks if Europe is retroactively justifying the Holocaust through its current indictment of Israel and through actions like Madrid's yanking an Israeli delegation from its Gay Pride events.

It was only a day or two after the Israeli navy stopped the “peace flotilla,” which was trying to break the embargo on Gaza, and Europe was already awash in huge anti-Israeli demonstrations. Look through European newspapers and you will find plenty of photos of demonstrators, faces distorted with fury, carrying pictures of Israeli politicians with swastikas painted on their forehead.

The facts were furiously re-written: Hunting knives, sling shots, and sharpened metal rods are presented as “normal” seafaring equipment. Videos, which show the peaceniks as highly trained hand-to-hand combatants, are ignored. And nobody wonders where naïve peace activists have learned to disable hovering helicopters.

But I am neither surprised nor impressed to once again witness the outburst of anger and dishonesty directed at the state of Israel.

Muslims are killing Muslims (and quite a few non-Muslims) by the thousands — in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Iran; in Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen; in mosques, marketplaces, schools, and private homes. Yet in the face of all this slaughter, the world, and Europe in particular, is quiet, as it is in the face of many other outrages that we witness around the world every day and that are much more significant than the deaths of nine Turks. But when Israeli is involved, it becomes the only occasion in which Europe suddenly unites in outrage. I’ll be frank: Europeans care about Palestinians as much as I care about Europeans — which is not at all. 

The scope of the outcry has become so ridiculous that the organizers of Madrid’s Gay Pride have disinvited an official Israeli delegation. Security concerns, supposedly, and pressure from some unnamed pro-Palestinian groups. The delegation, mind you, from the only country in the Middle East where LGBT people can live in peace, happiness, and safety.

I think this idea should be taken a step further — Madrid Pride, this rollicking drug, sex, and dance fest, should be taken to another location: Gaza, maybe, or Ramallah? Tehran or Riyadh? With optional excursions to Mogadishu and Sanaa? Once again, Europe mindlessly capitulates before Muslim pressure. 

No surprise here. The double standard is long established. Muslims are given a free pass. But Europeans will jump on any opportunity to demonstrate their hate for the state of Israel. The demonstrations against Israel’s stopping of the flotilla have nothing to do with empathy for the victims of a military operation. Their purpose is to leverage the trap the terrorists have so cleverly laid, to pressure politicians, and to escalate to the point of complete destruction of Israel. 

Only 60 years ago Europeans collectively murdered 6 million Jews. You don’t need to be an expert in mass psychology to detect in the current vilification of Israel a collective, retroactive attempt to justify the Holocaust. Even at the risk of prompting a second Holocaust, Europeans are using every opportunity to give Muslims the freedom to kill another 6 million Jews, the Jews of Israel. It would create a perfect symmetry.

Why build ghettos, gas chambers, and crematoriums if you can do it through the hands of Muslims, stuck in the Middle Ages? 

And to give this new vendetta some sort of respectability, history must be rewritten just like the incident on the Mavi Marmara was rewritten.

The most insidious rewrite is inherent in the frequently used phrase “democratically elected Hamas government in Gaza.” Hamas was indeed the winner in a democratic election in 2006. But it subsequently consolidated its power through a coup d’etat in July of 2007, dismantling the opposition and violently removing the Palestinian Authority’s security forces and civil servants from the Gaza strip. It now holds absolute power in the strip. Hamas’ democratic credentials are about as solid as the Nazis’, who also came to power through a democratic election and, two months later, issued the Enabling Act, abolishing all opposition and assuming absolute power. 

The parallel does not end here. The Hamas Charter still calls for replacing the state of Israel with a Palestinian Islamic State in the area now comprised of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Make no mistake: Hamas is a mortal enemy of Israel and the Jews, and Israel must defend itself against Hamas. Whoever doesn’t accept this is abetting Israel’s destruction.

THIS WEEK OUR GUEST IS EYAL FELDMAN... 

EYAL FELDMAN | New York Entrepreneur - In 2002, at age 24, Eyal Feldman took his initial $5,000 investment and set out to create a personal male lubricant that would be as slick and long-lasting as silicon-based lubricants and clean up as easily as those that are water-based. He found his answer in a vegetable oil and silicone fusion-based product he termed "Boy Butter." The product became an instant hit and has steadily gained mainstream appeal, earning the brand coverage in places such as:  "Saturday Night Live," "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, "MadTV," Comedy Central's "Daily Show" and "Talk Soup" on E!

His eventual goal would be to take ideas from fringe groups and mainstream them by both showing the public their practical use and by removing any possible stigma associated with them by adding a bit of humor and novelty.  Seven years later, "Boy Butter" is still a one-man show, with Eyal handling everything for the brand, which is sold in countless brick-and-mortar and large, online retail stores, including "Walgreen’s" and "Amazon.com." Eyal Feldman is not just the creator. He is also the face of the product, gracing most of "Boy Butter's" advertisements and commercials and various radio outlets around the globe.

Boy Butter currently produces over 20 different products, including its popular new " Boy Butter Extreme" desensitizing lubricant, which includes 7.5% Benzocaine, a numbing agent to make first-time or experimental sex more pleasurable.  "You'll Never Know it isn't Boy Butter," is a condom-safe, water-soluble blend of the brand’s original formula, which is intended for intimate experiences. In addition to lubricant, the brand just released its new male enhancement pill, "Bonerz," as well as a female-friendly lubricant.

Helen Thomas says Jews Should 'Get the Hell Out of Palestine'

The grande dame of the Washington press corps put her foot in her mouth with an answer at the White House last week, suggesting Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go back home to Poland, Germany, America and everywhere else."

The jaw-dropping words from the 89-year-old Hearst Newspapers columnist hit the Internet on YouTube Friday and sparked a firestorm of controversy.

Elan Steinberg, executive director of the World Jewish Congress, sharply rebuked her. "Shame on Helen Thomas. She is certainly old enough to remember the Holocaust and the Second World War. She owes an apology to all victims of the Nazis," Steinberg said.

Thomas posted a lukewarm apology on her personal Web site.

"I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heartfelt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon," she wrote.

The daughter of Lebanese immigrants who has covered the administrations of 10 Presidents in a career spanning nearly 60 years made her controversial comments at a White House Jewish Heritage Celebration on May 27.

Questioned about the Palestinians by Rabbi Nesenoff for RabbiLIVE.com, Thomas said, "Remember, these people are occupied and it's their land. It's not Germany, not Poland."

Boy Butter celebrates 7 years at Chicago's Intl. Mr. Leather

This Memorial Day weekend was amazing as Boy Butter Lubricants celebrated 7 years and broke all past IML trade show sales records. The trade fair was in conjunction with the 32nd annual International Mr. Leather Competition, whose 2010 winner is a female to male transexual in a wheelchair (Now, I've seen everything). With the help of my best friend Xavier and my trusted hubby Brendan, we celebrated 7 years of Boy Buttery goodness in beautiful downtown Chicago by spreading the butter as far as the eye could see.

The show is 4 days of long hours and intense salesmanship and good times!

Me in my apron on Day 2 of IML trade fair, notice the guy to my right getting his teeth whitened. I like the contract between tooth whitening and personal lubricants.

My best friend about to give a helping hand to a poor fellow 

who was obviously in the middle of taking a bath.

Don't even ask about this fetish.
