Strange Bedfellows
Forget volcanic eruptions and shifting tectonic plates, according to Shlomo Benizri, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish member of the Israeli parliament, earthquakes are caused by homosexuality. “God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up,” Benizri said in response to the recent 5.0 earthquake in the Middle East. Interestingly, this theory is shared by the ultra-conservative Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, which has in the past blamed earthquakes on gays. The next thing you know they’ll be holding latke breakfasts and wearing yamulkes while testifying.
