I'm not sure how strong the BLM/Hamas connection is but from what I've read, Hamas ain't too friendly towards the LGBTQIA+ crowd.

LGBT rights in the State of Palestine

Quote:
Since 2007, the Gaza Strip has been ruled by Hamas, and sexual activity between men is illegal due to Hamas' enforcement of Islamic law. Currently, the Hamas government punishes all men who are convicted of having engaged in homosexual acts with up to 10 years in prison.

Yeah almost like the diversity and inclusion bureaucrats on campuses are re... re... refraining from rational thought, that's it.

I suppose "homos for hamas" has a funny ring to it within the context of surreal humor.

Not so much in the real world, though.

Yeah it's fun to say this kind of thing in your instagram stories when you live in the West. Not when in you are in the West Bank (under the administrative control not of Hamas but of the more moderate Palestinian faction, though the exact nature of that moderation could use some scrutiny).

One thing I've noticed since October 7 is that some of the more vocal pro-Palestinian voices on Twitter are US vets for whom this conflict is apparently emblematic of the general badness of US entanglements in the Mideast.

I believe this view glides over a lot of the specificity of what's at stake but fair enough

Jewish Students at NYC College Take Refuge in Library From pro-Palestinian Protesters

"Anti-Zionism" in action. Predictably, besides the Israeli outlets, the only ones reporting this story are Fox News and NY Post. Utterly shameful.
