I removed the "fact" template, as I believe that it is quite clear from the information in the article that Israel ranks among the very few countries in the world that offer such an array of LGBT rights, including extensive anti-discrimination laws, registration of married status and adoption rights for same-sex couples. Aviad2001 18:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
The page claims that "Israel was the first country in Asia where homosexuals were protected by anti-discrimination laws" with the source being http://www.chinapost.com.tw/news/archives/taiwan/200755/108825.htm . The problem of this is that (a) this article doesn't talk about which Asian country was first to enact such laws, (b) it does not talk about Israel and (c) the fact that Israel is the first country can easily be disputed; and rightfully so, since so many other Asian countries had such laws prior to Israel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinnygold ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm curious about the role of antigay Orthodox Jewish groups in opposing LGBT rights in Israel. Could someone add a brief passage on such organisations, their major figures, and whether or not they liaise with any other antigay Orthodox Jews outside the United States? User Calibanu 11.44, 14 July 2007.
I removed the following two paragraphs from the page due to their irrelevance and unencyclopedic language. Thought I would save them here.

In one edit that I later undid and then redid with updated info, I only had enough room in my summary to say "Taiwan? Not so." I wanted to type "Taiwan? Not to my knowledge." I've redone that part to reflect Taiwan's non-discrimination laws, and changed it to reflect the correct year, 2007, not 2001.

Same-sex couples in Israel can now adopt children not biologically linked to them. Seems worth mentioning. http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKL1041841520080210 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.167.101 ( talk) 23:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

LGBT rights in Israel → LGBTQ Rights in Israel – - The LGBT community has added a Q, so pages like this should be moved.— Supuhstar * § 18:10, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
There is no mention in the article about whether or not same sex partners of Israeli citizens have the same access to health insurance (including premiums) as citizens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tzadikv ( talk • contribs) 17:09, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

The pinkwashing section of this article (as just one example) has several sneaky biases which merit comment. Wikipedia articles are biased towards Israel (often outrageously so) because Wikipedia is the target of a great deal of Hasbara activity. Most people give up trying to remedy this because the Hasbara activity is so well resourced. First off, why is "Pinkwashing" in quotation marks. Any section on wikipedia could be portrayed as opinion so why are all sections on all articles not also in quotation marks. Statements criticising Israeli pinkwashing are qualified with words such as "claims" and "negative stereotypes". Criticisms of Israel are interspersed with pro-Israel narratives which are not qualified as "claims" or "stereotypes". Worse still, Alan Dershowitz - whose pro-Israel advocacy is hypocritical and rife with logical fallacies and double standards - is allowed to condemn critics of Israel's pinkwashing as anti-semites and bigots and claim that only gay radicals consider Israel to be engaged in pinkwashing. As usual these biases occur mostly within the rules of wikipedia as Israeli govt employees are sophisticated at doing this. Furthermore they're paid to edit Wikipedia as their job, so normal people who can't spend all day countering this activity tend to just give up. 121.73.7.84 ( talk) 17:18, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

According to different sources, some Palestinians are threatened to be exposed to their families as homosexuals and send back to their families, where they will be tortured and killed. Unless they are willing to work as informants. They are furthermore monitorized. That should be part of the Palestinian section I think. [1] [2] [3]-- APS talk 19:17, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

This article, specifically the "Politics" section, contains many facts about different views from different politicians over the last twenty years, but there is not a proper history that details how LGBT rights grew in Israel. One of the major events in recent years that impacted the LGBT community in Israel, the 2009 Tel Aviv gay centre shooting, is not mentioned once in the article. This incident, which sparked an immense public reaction from Israeli citizens and politicians alike, created a shift in how the LGBT community is received and treated in Israel. It was soon after that that Israel began to promote its acceptance of LGBT rights. While this article has a lot of important information regarding its laws and culture, there is no definitive history of how these laws and cultures shifted in favor for the LGBT population in Israel. The information I am going to use to add to this article is from Columbia Human Rights Law Review and written in 2015. The author, Aeyal Gross, is a law professor at Tel Aviv University. She has written for a wide variety of law journals across the world, and has written about LGBT rights and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict respectively.

Does taiwan can change legal gender without surgery like Israel? Does taiwan can Joint adoption like Israel? Does taiwan can use IVF service like Israel? Does taiwan can donate blood like Israel without following five years of abstinence from sex?

For 67 years, key documents in the history of the Israeli LGBTQ community were tucked away in the country’s state archives. In 1954, Israel's Attorney General prevented Rina Natan from gender reassignment surgery. The story later took a surprisingly positive turn. Haaretz, Link. Sorry, not sure what would be best way to include in article, so I leave the info here for you. -- Jensbest ( talk) 18:58, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
blood donation of msm is allowed since 2017, not 2021 as Nitzan Horowitz claims. Under some circumstances, it was allowed even before that. What Nitzan did was changing the wording in the official papers to still refer to MSM blood donation, that as mentioned, was allowed since 2017, when Benjamin Netanyahu was the minister of health. 2A00:A040:194:6396:D977:59A1:9072:2762 ( talk) 08:48, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

As of 5:26PM UTC on 20 April 2024, all Wayback Machine captures for the 2006 Israeli Supreme Court ruling on civil unions (allowing their registration, but not their recognition) [1] seem to have either been removed or had access denied. The original link [2] is identically denied access. Either there is a systemic error with Israeli government pages on the Wayback Machine's end, or there was a takedown request. Regardless, the access to the official document seems to have been removed from official sources and the Wayback Machine. I attempted to find the site using both .htm and .html endings on the archive as well as the original, but was unsuccessful.
