The Knesset has decided to provide Likud MK Amir Ohana, who is openly homosexual, with a permanent security detail after he received death threats from members of the LGBT community.
Ironically, while the LGBT community demands tolerance and acceptance, many within the movement seem unwilling to afford the same to those of different persuasions – even a fellow homosexual who happens to also be conservative and right-wing.
Ohana is a veteran of the IDF (he currently holds the rank of major) and the Israel Security Agency (the local equivalent of the FBI). He holds staunchly right-wing positions in regards to the Land of Israel, and Jerusalem in particular.
