The article discusses how anti-Semitism is weaponized by some to justify the US's support of Israel's military actions in Gaza and elsewhere. It emphasizes the disconnect in arguments stating that queer rights concerns should be sidelined due to perceived threats to queer individuals in Arab countries. The author argues that this perspective fails to recognize the immediate dangers faced by queer people in conflict zones, particularly Gaza, where the situation for queer individuals is dire due to ongoing violence and military activity.
"If you think it's hard to survive as a queer person in a repressive theocratic region, try doing it with bombs falling on your house and tanks shooting at you when you try to get food."
"Even if the premises of the anti-protestors were fact, it's Israel and the US who are actually murdering gay people in Gaza at the moment."
