The Zionist pink washers when you tell em Israel doesn't recognise same sex marriage.

Also Israeli soilders are killing all Palestinians, including the queer ones because yes their are queer Palestinians.

Allyship is not transactional.

I’m very sick of white lgbts saying they can’t support what’s happening in Palestine because they are all “homophobic” despite them living in countries like America where they have massive anti trans laws and try n paint all gay people as pedophiles and groomers. The double standard is crazy.

So Nex Benedict was beaten to death in a bathroom in Oklahoma, USA for being non-binary and a year ago Brianna Ghey was stabbed to death in Warrington, England for being trans. There have been countless other acts of violence towards the Queer community before and in between these two cases.

Yet pinkwashing Zionists have been telling me for years that if I went to Palestine I be would brutalised and murdered for being queer.

All of us in the Queer community know we would never have to leave the "civilised West" to be under such constant threat.

Even if every single Palestinian wanted to throw me off a roof, which they don't, I wouldn't want them genocided.

so i can't use the phrase "pinkwashing" on facebook. i tried three times, and could send other replies, including a censored version. so that's..... super cool

update: 1:57 pm : it's letting me now, in conversations unrelated to I/P. so no idea what that was about, very strange, but hopefully this edit goes through so nobody gets misinformed

Rant: Pinkwashing is a lie

Everytime the Israel-Palestine conflict is in the news, there's the same story: Gay people are asked whom they support in the conflict, and most (around 80%) answer they support Israel. The reason: "Israel is supportive of gay rights, so it seems natural we support them!"

The pro-Palestine side, not being able to accept anyone supporting Israel, drop the pinkwashing arguement. "You guys are so easily deceived. Israel doesn't give two sh*ts about LGBT rights. It's just trying to distract from its human rights abuses by pretending it's gay friendly". Apparently all said in an attempt to have us switch sides

But as a gay man, who has actually been to Israel, I'd like to seize the oppertunity and disagree: Anyone argueing "pinkwashing" is being deceiptive, and today I'm going to explain why.

First of all, it doesn't matter how much Israel advertises itself as gay friendly. You can't deny the fact that it simply is the most gay friendly country in the middle east. By a long shot. Most Palestinians want to destroy Israel, whether through military action, or by enforcing a right of return to Israel (which would make the country cede in its current form). This would mean the literally only country in the Middle East that grants us any form of rights would disappear. How do you expect anyone with just a bit of solidarity to support this?

Second: However it choses to advertise itself, the LGBT rights are still there. All activity has been legal since 1988, long before it was mainstream and they could have used it to "distract" from anything.

And I can pin point the exact reason why this is the case: Israel respects LGBT rights, simply because it respects human rights as a whole. Women, ethnic minorities, and more all see their rights respected. And although I don't want to downplay the struggles they face, even the Israeli Arab fare way better than anywhere else in the Middle East.

But of course, an Israel that respects human rights doesn't fit its enemies agenda. Because if they didn't have a human rights abuser as an enemy, they'd have to admit that there might be legit reasons that Gaza must be blocked (rocket attacks), that there must be walls and check-points accross the West Bank (suicide attacks), and that the occupation must continue (many Palestinians are violent).

So that's how we end up with lies like "pinkwashing". To downplay the fact that Palestinians aren't as harmless as they are made out to be, and their enemy is a human right respecting state. That way, things will fit their narrative. And imho, this is the true propaganda. Not what Israel is doing.

And hey, I'm not even denying the fact that Israel does advertise itself as gay friendly. But this is more like: "We respects human rights, and abuses is not what we're about, even if we have adopt a hard stance with our enemies (who are literally trying to destroy us)". In no way is this to wash away the Palestinian struggle.

But imho, the worst part are the half-facts people use as "proof" that Israel isn't as gay friendly as it appears, namely that A) discrimination still exists, and B) same-sex marriage isn't legal (spoiler alert: it is). Both extremely dishonest arguements.

The first one because you could extend this to any country. In big cities, you'll find acceptance, while on the country side, you'll find less of that. Also, religious people are less accepting, while secular people are more so, etc. Israel is no different, where Tel Aviv, Haifa and maybe (turning five blind eyes) Jerusalem are accepting, while the more rural places aren't so much so.

The second one because it simplifies a complex issue down to a simple conclusion, namely that "Straight marriage is performed, gay marriage is not". Note that i use the word "performed". That's because civil marriage as a whole is not "performed", only "recongized" in the country. You can have it recognized, either when it was performed by a religious authority, or performed abroad. And guess what? In the latter case any marriage is recognized, even same-sex marriages. So technically, marriage is already equal in the country. A fact that is commonly ommited in discussions.

Sure, you could still argue it's an LGBT issue of sorts, because straight couples at least have a chance of being married in the country (when they share a religion), and have less distance to cover than gay couples (who'd have to fly to central Europe to get married, not to Cyprus as straight couples). But realistically, that's a problem with a lack of seperation of church and state. not an LGBT issue. I can guarantee you, once civil marriage will be performed, gay marriage will become legal along with it.

--------------

So yeah, long story short: I don't buy into the queer washing allegations. It seems like just another misinformation campaign launched by the Palestinian side to win the "PR war" against Israel. In particular an attempt to sway gay supporters. But first and foremost, to paint is as a human rights abuser.

Because I don’t learn from my mistakes I did go back on TikTok and I did watch a whole speech T*ylor gave about pride and voting and I need every single queer person to recognize what is happening for what it is.

She is using you. She is using all of us as a smoke screen to keep people from talking about the fact that she continues to associate publicly with a known racist, misogynist, and antisemite and she is using queer people as a shield.

“That’s why I always say when polls are open.” No you don’t Taylor. You don’t. You made an entire documentary about being political and Speaking Now and then you did what you always do, you went completely fucking silent until you got yourself in deep fucking hot water and needed the gays to come pull you out of it.

Well not again. You lost us Taylor. You lost all of us and nothing, not partnering with one of the women your boyfriend said vile things about, or a speech where you pat yourself on the back for your own lyrics is going to change the fact that consistently you have been told exactly what needs to happen to make amends and you’ve consistently shown you don’t care.

You’re just a stranger now whose laugh I could recognise anywhere.

Maybe you always were.

Gaylors, as tempting as it is, stand your ground. Don’t crawl back. She has done NOTHING concrete to make amends for her association with Matty Healy or to dissuade people from continuing to connect her romantically to him. She has made her spaces unsafe to Jews, black women, queer and trans and nonbinary people, Muslims, and AAPI and other POC and the people who live at the intersection of these and other marginalised identities. She’s not our friend. She’s plastering the rainbow on her Twitter and the second June is up she will forget about us again.

We deserve better. All of us.

Rant over.

This was the entry for a poetry competition I participated in recently. Coz how dare they? How the fuck dare they try to pink wash a genocide? Pride is about love. It's about fighting WITH LOVE, FOR LOVE. You can't pink wash a genocide and expect us to go, "slay queen 💅". That's not how this works. That's not how any of it works. STOP KILLING PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF PRIDE. JUST STOP KILLING PEOPLE.

white twinks making jokes about how they're illegal in the middle east for decades even tho there's an actual community in the middle east who are actually oppressed in a way they'll never experience even if they went to the middle east. doing nothing to actually to make better change for the community other than making jokes about the suffering of "their own community". and they're zionists because palestinians sorry khamas is homophobic meanwhile they continue on getting hate crimed in their free countries with no real reaction from the governments and the amount of transpanic getting kids killed and so many black queer people are homeless and keep getting kidnapped and killed. their rights that black trans women gave them keeps getting stripped by both Democrats and Republicans but they're too busy frothing at goofy shit like red white and royal blue. and they're scared to leave the house now :(( but flaunt zionism in public and spamming us on social media and laughing at the suffering of the queer community in gaza.
