A Lutheran pastor has blamed Jews to blame for the Supreme Court’s ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the US.

Mark Dankof has claimed Jewish influence and money has ‘destroyed Christian culture and values’.

He also said the US should be looking to Russian president Vladimir Putin, who is ‘key in destroying this global threat’.

‘It should not be ignored that the victories for abortion on demand and LGBT rights are reflective of the disproportionate influence of Jewish power, money, and activism in the United States,’ Dankof told Iran Press TV.

‘The key Jewish role played in the mainstreaming of abortion, LGBT, and pornography in the United States may be documented in Google search, especially in looking at the Frankfurt School and its Institute for Social Research.’

He added: ‘I believe Mr. Putin is a key ingredient in destroying this global threat, and restoring cultural integrity and national sovereignty to his country, and providing a model for defeating the Zionist agenda globally.’

While it’s ridiculous to say that American Jews are to ‘blame’ for same-sex marriage, their support was integral to achieving equality.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kegan, three of the Supreme Court justices, are all Jewish and supported same-sex marriage. The rest, including the other pro-gay marriage justices Anthony Kennedy and Sonia Sotomayor, are Roman Catholic.

And in a 2014 poll by Public Religion Research Institute, it found 77% of Jews said they supported gay people having the right to marry. The only religious group that supported it more were Buddhists.
