Protest after shooting attack at LGBT youth club - 2 dead - ירי בלב תל אביב

A spontaneous protest took place in the streets of Tel Aviv late last night, after a gunman shot dead two people and wounded at least 15 others in an attack at a central Tel Aviv gay and lesbian center, before fleeing the scene.

Witnesses told Israeli television that the black-clad, masked gunman stormed into the Tel Aviv Gay and Lesbian Association building and opened fire in a basement room where gay teenagers were holding a weekly support group. Most of the casualties were minors, a police spokesman said.

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to the people and families of those involved. It's a very sad day for LGBT all over the world. Together we stand, together we are strong. Together we can fight this senseless hate.

In memory of Nir Katz, 26 of Givatayim, and Liz Trobishi, 16, of Holon

Oh my god. This is so incredible to see. On one hand there is this pain, this anger, about the murders. And then there is this pride and the power of the community. Gay rights are human rights. When are people going to understand that? And when will they stop to kill others just because they LOVE?! This brought tears to my eyes.

I'm a straight boy, and I'm a fan of this channel. Even though I'm Catholic, I still think it was very sad, and that this murder had no respect toward human dignity.

This is indeed a very sad day in the history of the LGBT community. My heartfelt condolences to all the families.

This makes my heart heavy. All over the world we take two steps forward and one step backward. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of all the hate and fear. We could learn so much from one another if we would just choose love over hate. Acceptance over tolerance!

[silentfades]

did they ever catch the murderer ? if so what was the outcome ?

[lorielkkkiz]

I live in Israel. I'm a lesbian. I went to the funeral. It was devestating.
