      With the “In the name of love” being written on it, no less. This pic will be probably used by christofascist for decades if they come on it.

      They’re SO bad at this. “We just need a quick photo-op, can you go over there and hold this flag?” “In front of the devastated civilian areas we just made?” “That’s the one, smile!”

      It makes the “leaked Hamas phonecall” look like an oscar-worthy psyop.

    In going to keep posting this because it’s the only response worth considering

    We refuse the instrumentalization of our queerness, our bodies, and the violence we face as queer people to demonize and dehumanize our communities, especially in service of imperial and genocidal acts. We refuse that Palestinian sexuality and Palestinian attitudes towards diverse sexualities become parameters for assigning humanity to any colonized society. We deserve life because we are human, with the multitude of our imperfections, and not because of our proximity to colonial modes of liberal humanity. We refuse colonial and imperialist tactics that seek to alienate us from our society and alienate our society from us, on the basis of our queerness. We are fighting interconnected systems of oppression, including patriarchy and capitalism, and our dreams of autonomy, community, and liberation are inherently tied to our desire for self-determination. No queer liberation can be achieved with settler-colonization, and no queer solidarity can be fostered if it stands blind to the racialized, capitalist, fascist, and imperial structures that dominate us.

    Zionists really have no limit to their disgusting bullshit, do they? They can’t even get married in their colonial shithole, since that’s the epitome of gay rights according to liberals.

      Once you’re committed to genocide, nothing is too sacred that it can’t be used cynically to justify the terror.

    This is using the same Zionist logic thats says “Anti-Isreal = Antisemitism”.

    And if you try and rebuke this, you will be framed as homphobic. Pure manipulative propaganda.

    Calling this “Pink washing” is completely missing the mark. These monsters have been “bringing liberation” to Arab world for decades now. Maybe now you understand why the Arab world hates this flag.

        We totally don’t care about their sexual orientation, we murder them because of their race, religion, and/or place of birth! We would never dream of murdering somebody for their sexuality, that would be bigoted!

    Easy PR for western audiences while simultaneously breeding homophobia in anti western forces that can be weaponized against them later. The Dollar Empire loves this shit.
