I think ultimately pink washing Israeli war crimes and colonisation with appeals to open lesbianism on the streets of Tel Aviv is a dead end. The point is in the end that human rights are inalienable and not transactional. You don't get to treat the Sudanese worse because they're crap on gay rights and nor should we give Israelis an easier time because they're better on gay rights. How many gay marriages in Tel Aviv does it take to cancel out an ethnic cleansing in the West Bank? It's just stupid.
- moth-fuzz 2y agoThis is directed more at the above comment than yours, but, do note that gay marriage is in fact not legal in Israel, nor is inter-faith marriage.
- twixfel 2y agoIt did occur to me that gay marriage might not be legal in Israel. But I was aware that Muslims and Jews aren’t allowed to get married there.
