Being Queer and Palestinian means living with so many different contradictions. But I for sure do not need foreign and especially Israeli media to lead the discourse about being Queer in Palestine
Fun Fact in 2007 my Mom & Dad were part of the Palestinian Eurovision initiative to try to get Palestinian into the contest! I sampled their voices in the 'Wild West' music video.
Bashar for Bessastaðir. Eurovision didn’t work out, so I’m running for president of Iceland! Vote for me so I don’t have to rig it like some other “countries”.

Israel claims that it is a feminist and queer friendly country. However, it is attacking Palestinian women and queers who are in Gaza, Jerusalem, 1948 Palestine, and the West Bank. Oppression does not discriminate.

You do realize that some of those queers for Palestine are Jewish right? So not only are you being anti Palestinian & anti queer, but dare I say antisemetic too?
[THREAD] Pinkwashing is a smokescreen, diverting attention from the harsh realities of the Israeli occupation. LGBTQI+ rights shouldn't be used as an excuse for the oppression of Palestinians.

We won't allow the occupation to weaponize our sexualities against us. Pride month is our opportunity to remind the world that the fight for the liberation of Palestine is intersectional: It is a feminist issue, a queer issue, and a racial justice issue.

Baby, I'm in Palestinian territories all the time including East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem... Get off your high horse and stop spreading ignorance you pinkwasher.
