The LGBTQ question is used to justify genocide
Jean-Pierre Barda Is stuck in Tel Aviv. The artist went there to visit Pride who would have taken place this weekend. After Israel Iran had attacked and Iran had fallen back, the parade was canceled. Barda is worn out and is up and down to the hiding places, He says for DN. A sad end to a constructive week, he says.
SVT Also interviews a Swedish Who went to Tel Aviv for Pride – apparently without reading the news about the war of Israel who has been going on for several years. “The airport is completely closed, so you don’t have to go there and it applies until further notice, so we don’t really know when we can get from here and when the plan starts to go again,” she says.
Tooked the pride drink well? Not as a bitter bile in the mouth of the knowledge that Palestinians starve about ten miles away? A famine disaster built by Israel, as part of a genocide? People who are forced to crawl to go to the promised auxiliary stations and are shot when they try to get a meal?
Tel Aviv is No destination like everyone, it is a clear political position to go there in 2025. Tel Aviv Pride would also have a special flake for LGBTQ travel disputes that have served in the army since the Hamas attack on October 7. 55,000 Palestinians have since been killed by Israel. The heroes must be praised, as the Pride organization itself says.
Of course, that a visit to Pride in Tel Aviv is a position, Al Jean-Pierre Barda knows, although the tone is neutral in DN. There he emphasizes that the Israeli LGBT movement is agreed that polarization is not there, as in the rest of society.
On Instagram of Barda, the tone is openly pro-Israelic: “Ready for a new long night in and out of shelter … But that is a small price for the process of stopping anti-democratic troops looking for LGBTQ brothers and sisters and sisters for almost for almost for almost for almost for
The war is therefore a struggle for liberation for the LGBTQ movement, if we want to believe Barda. Iranian homosexuals are probably not thanks to the rake trips. Nothing is spelled LGBTQ as bombed by Israeli fighter aircraft.
The Iranian regime Is, as we all know, terrible and homosexuality is covered with the death penalty, which Iranian activists are already fighting, the question is only if they really need a different bomb in their heads or a third world war.
Tel Aviv Pride’s guest Caitlyn Jenner Even more clearly pronounced from the position: “We will have the poor Iranian people the upper hand and free from terrorist criminals!” She was invited as a guest of honor in a collaboration between Tel Aviv Pride and the Tourism Authority. A visit that is diligently connected to the official Instagram page of Israel. Although it is run by a government that is once called the most homophobic by Israeli LGBT activists.
The idea of Israel as the enlightened liberator of LGBTQ people in the region is an important part of the State propaganda. In 2010, the country started a very successful campaign to become a travel destination for gays. Queers in the Palestinian movement came up with the concept of Pinkwashing to describe this, which was later registered in a well -known text by the legendary activist Sarah Schulman In the New York Times.
The phenomenon is just as relevant today, 15 years later. And as the Palestinian LGBTQ organization Al Qaws writes If it is not possible to draw a clear dividing line between the government and the LGBTQ organizations that collaborate with it, because without the latter that campaign could never be so successful.
Two years Subsequently, the regime of Israël installed Instagram photos of a broken Gaza where a soldier poses with a rainbow flag with the scribble “in the name of love”.
The caption is “the very first pride flag that was lifted in Gaza”. More clearer than that, one cannot illustrate how Israel LGBTQ -Rights uses to justify genocide.
