All this is gonna do is give people some very wrong and dangerous impressions about Stonewall.
The far right has been trying to find a way to criminalize being queer & legally treat trans people as a violent danger to society, especially children, for years. QFP equating LGBTQ+ rights with the intifadas, a series of terror attacks so frequent they have to be referred to as eras, that included repeated instances of strapping bombs to children, isnāt just handing them ammunition, itās giving the right a whole damn armory, gift wrapped, on a silver platter.
Fellow queer people, Queers For Palestine does not care about you. They are distorting & expropriating your history to launder the violence of far right theocrats & child-killers in your name. They are selling you out.
Do not hitch your wagon to this bus. There is a bomb onboard.
Leaving aside the stupidity of "Globalize the Intifada isn't a call to kill Jews/it's an innocuous word and I'm a good person and it's exotique" discourse, they stuck a red triangle on the banner. That's what Hamas uses to mark its targets, at this point it's a more socially acceptable version of the swastika because when you see it in the wild or on social media the person wearing is just a Nazi/Hamasnik. By sticking it on the banner proclaiming intifada it doesn't just pollute LGBT activism with the various intifada suicide bombings and bus bombings and stabbings, it explicitly ties the LGBT civil rights struggle, which was ongoing for decades in the form we recognize it today, to a single distinct terror group with a hate symbol. But hey, it's trendy, right? You're being a good ally, right? This never ends well.
