Stupidity is a killer
Are you puzzled why so many LGBT activists are so passionately pro-Palestine and so hostile toward Israel? Not just critical of a policy. Not just angry at a prime minister. I mean the full activist package, signs, flags, chants, moral lectures and complete confidence that Israel is the villain.
Because if we are talking about the actual treatment of gay people, Israel is not even in the same moral universe as the forces these activists keep romanticizing. Israel is not perfect, no country is, but it is diverse, openly argumentative and home to a visible LGBT community that can organize, march, vote, sue and publicly demand more rights. The State Department has reported that Israeli law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and is generally enforced, even though discrimination still exists. Reuters has covered public Pride events in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Now compare that with the world the protest signs usually excuse. In the West Bank and Gaza, the State Department reported strong societal opposition to LGBTQ activities, Palestinian police often acted to prevent those activities, and observers said human rights groups in Gaza did not openly monitor or address LGBTQ matters.
Then there are the jihadists. ISIS did not need a city council vote. Human Rights Watch cited UN reporting that ISIS executed gay and bisexual men and transgender people by throwing them from high-rise buildings.
And then we saw the American version in Hamtramck, Michigan, the city that made history with an all-Muslim city council. In 2023, that council unanimously banned Pride flags from city property. AP later reported a federal judge allowed the policy to stand, noting some council members said Pride flags clashed with their religious beliefs.
That is the cartoon in real life.
One side waves the flag, marches in the street and shouts solidarity. The other side, when it gains power, says put the flag away.
No Mohammedan should hold high office in any western country.
The fucking audacity.
