Western queer radicals: Here's how Israel's gay-friendly image is used to cover oppression of queer Palestinians.
Israeli queer radicals: Agreed! They also erase how we in Israel don't really have the same equality as in the West, or the systemic racism faced by queer Arabs within the Israeli LGBT community. We should work in solidarity to improve queer lives everywhere, here's a bunch of Israeli orgs that you can work with to pressure our government. We can end pinkwashing together!
Western queer radicals: Actually the best way to ensure queer liberation in Palestine is to promote Islamist terrorism.
I don't want to hear anything about solidarity with queer Palestinians from people who cheer on their principle oppressors. Queer Palestinians in the West Bank lost friends at the Nova concert massacres, but some people don't care. An Israeli Arab won Miss Trans Israel but none of them cared. Even in opposing Israeli policy towards queer Palestinians, none of them called for reforming the asylum process or to end policies of threatening to out Palestinians in order to turn them into informants. They prefer queer Palestinians to die than for their lives to improve through *Israeli* actions.

SMH we Israelis blazed the trail for trans people in Eurovision and now people talking about the queer history of Eurovision either erase Dana International or refuse to mention what country she represented. It is clear that the international LGBT movement does not care for LGBT Israelis. The goy queer population of Europe came out to protest Israel at Eurovision for the temerity of *existing* but did not march in solidarity when LGBT Israelis protested against homophobia and transphobia in our government last year. I do not want to hear a single word about the importance of intersectionality or solidarity again from people who believe Jews and Israelis are exempt form either of them.
