Against The PINKWASHING of Israel

[sabrina 1]

4. Excellent article, thank you. It nails a growing problem that needs to be exposed, and that is the

USE of Gays' and Womens' issues for political purposes, to draw in the Left to support egregious policies such as Israel's towards the Palestinians. Human rights is not just for some, it is for everyone.

And THIS is thoroughly disgusting:

Stories over the past few months have revealed that in fact the Israeli army pressures LGBTQ Palestinians into becoming informants against their friends and families by blackmailing them and threatening to expose their sexualities. This so-called gay-friendly state of Israel preys on the vulnerability of queer Palestinians, a vulnerability that many of us who live in "progressive" "human rights-friendly" countries still face.

That rises to the level of mental torture. Shameful, and certainly NOT the behavior of anyone who supports Gay Rights.
