"LGBT, or in a name that is difficult for you to pronounce: lesbians, gays, trans people and bi," Harari began his words, "pay taxes like everyone else, are good and work almost like everyone else.
They contribute to the economy, they are producers and contributors in every field, and I personally know gays and lesbians, soldiers and female officers, male and female officers and pilots who serve in the army, yes, yes, and make a huge contribution, Mr. Minister, in the Ministry of Defense," he asked to clarify.

"Gays and lesbians are part of Israeli society and they are no different from anyone else. Their sexual orientation should not interest anyone, just as the orientation of people who are close to you is not interesting. They are part of society, including the society you come from, and the only reason you do not know about it is Because they are afraid to reveal themselves, because after all, you exclude, exclude and boycott anyone who is different," he stated the facts, as far as he was concerned.

"You are right, Mr. Minister Smotrich. The Spaniards, that is us, me, do not really care about the LGBT issue, simply because we accept everyone with love.
A Moroccan mother I know will hug her son when he tells her he is gay, and tell him 'the main thing is to be healthy and take care of yourself'.
"For us, the family is above all, even above such and such tendencies. We Spaniards were brought up to love each one of our family, no matter what their tendency. That is why the people of Mahane Yehuda told you that they accept each and every one with love. Instead of ostracizing and alienating, you will learn from us, the Moroccans and the Spaniards , to love and embrace, because everyone is equal in our eyes," Harari concluded his words.
