Israelis are heroes of equality… as if!

*** led by respected queer academics***

People that think! Yes that is a given, people that don't think aren't going to do much are they.

"One example would be Reverend John Hagee, a Christian Zionist who founded Christians United for Israel and a staunch supporter of Israel, yet vehemently publicly anti-gay."

Exactly, that what this aligns with! Every time this lot get involved they screw it up. This is the same group that Bono got involved in the 'War on AIDS' in Africa that unleashed a wave of homophobia that see attempts to introduce the death penalty for homos in Uganda.

"Jewish and pro-Israel organizations must reflect on their own policies of inclusion and equality prior to requesting that our community look at Israel as inclusive and equal. Many are already there, but some can do better."

Jewish and pro-Israel organizations are racist trash that are not promoting equal rights for Palestine. That Israel attracts and accepts the support of a—hole fundamentalist Christians show only how desperate Israel is for approval.

"It is also incorrect to accuse label the queer anti-Zionists as “anti-Semitic”. While it is wrong for them to use their label of “being Jewish” to offer credibility to their foolish views, they are hardly anti-Semitic (though, there are some in the movement that are, but not many). They’re just misguided and wrong, very wrong."

Oh we are not antisemitic just very very wrong. Does that mean that people that support the bombing of Gaza and Lebanon, the building of $4 billion in Apartheid walls are very very right? Indeed they are very right, they are so right winged as to be the fascists of never wrong.

"Of course, it’s easy for us to have our opinions, protests and agreements in the comfort of our American zip codes, but we wouldn’t be properly Jewish if we didn’t offer our opinions on all topics."

They wouldn't be properly Jewish if they didn't seek to bend the debate in favor of fascist Israel. They would be Israel Threatening Jews just like all my Jewish mates! Just like the rest of the Israel Threatening homos, Muslims, Christians and assorted Goyim.

The stand is for the full application of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, period! It's not for self-interest. If you are doing something for self-interest then you need to move on to a different topic.

Have we actually aligned ourselves with the disingenuous in society in order to get what we want? Last time I brought up the subject of Palestine, in a health group, I was kicked out of the group after people I'd never seen make a comment in a year, came out of thin air and need cried over their Jewish crap. I was an antisemite for bring it up, didn't matter that Gaza was being bombed at the time. No one cared too much about that. It was all about me hurting the feelings of people that were suddenly added to the group.

Rights are established in an ordered manner. If you don't have the right to live in safety, if children have no rights, if women don't have rights, if animals have not rights… you can't deal with the fine-tuning of equal rights which is the pointy end where gay rights exist.

Name one nation that established gay rights that didn't 20-50 years earlier establish women's rights? Name a nation that manages HIV or HCV that didn't first manage to establish universal healthcare?

It's about Maslow's hierarchy of needs 101. You can't put a roof on a house that has no walls!
