When it comes to its opinions on the Middle East, the queer movement goes beyond absurd, it is also patently dishonest.
In this Marxist way, loud Western LGBTQ people unthinkingly reach for solidarity with all whom they see as oppressed, as seen in “The absurdity of ‘Queers for Palestine'” article which points out the idiocy of this view:
Photo of Jerusalem Post, 7 July 2026, pg 9What the article’s authors miss, however, is something hidden in plain sight: In resorting to “white privilege” as an excuse for Gaza’s reprehensible behavior, the activist racially profiles Gazans as nonwhite. How are Gazans nonwhite when Israeli Jews are white? They are all the same brown Middle Easterners. The majority of Jews in Israel have formerly lived thousands of years in “brown” places such as Yemen, Morocco, Syria, and Egypt — same as the Gazans.
Anyway – has the 1960’s work by Martin Luther King Jr already been forgotten? I thought he wrote about the substance of a man’s character being more important than the color of his skin.
Thirdly – and worst of all – the activist in Boulder–by resorting to his own white privilege by way of argument, he exposes his utter lack of empathy for nonwhite Gazan queers. He actually does not care one bit for queer Gazans who have no refuge from their Islamic brothers who will stone them and drag their bodies through the streets behind motorcycles. The Boulder activist also does not have an ounce of empathy for Gazans in general who must witness their gay family members abused and murdered. According to the activist’s myopic, short-sighted answer, in resorting to his “white privilege” argument, he exposes that he is thinking of no one at all other than himself. His brain and critical thinking are utterly switched off.
It goes without saying that such activists also have zero empathy for Jews who he simultaneously condemns as too white for the Middle East (wrong!) and too brown for Europe and the West (wrong!).
The way forward is not in narratives of the oppressed: The path to success is to leave behind all aspects of victim mentality and blame games, to reach higher towards forgiveness, enablement, can-do attitudes, positivity, and “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” In this way, Hong Kong, living under similar conditions as Gaza, became a shining city rather than a subterranean rocket factory constantly looking for creative ways to attack China incessantly.
