ILGA World said The Aguda’s proposal to hold the group’s next world conference in Tel Aviv had violated its aims and objectives, and it is now reviewing The Aguda’s larger compliance with the ILGA World constitution.
The Aguda’s bid had been due to be voted on at ILGA World’s conference this month in Cape Town, South Africa.
“We recognise the historical experience with apartheid and colonialism in South Africa: even the possibility of voting on such a bid in their home country would have been at odds with the unequivocal solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
The move follows an open letter by three Palestinian LGBTQ+ organisations to ILGA World last month, raising major concerns about how Israeli LGBTQ+ groups have historically helped “pinkwash” and divert attention from Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.
Lol, go schedule the LBGTQ+ conference in any of the nations surrounding Israel. Advertise the shit out of it, banners and everything. I’d be happy to donate.
Just make they book it somewhere with one story buildings.
Who do you think has killed more gay Palestinians, Hamas or the IDF?
The fact that you ask that question should give you all the answer you need.
I doubt that’s going to work in the Hague.
I would love to see crimes committed against LBGTQ+ individuals in Mid Eastern countries taken up by the Hague. But it isn’t going to happen.
The only reason the Middle East has any issues is because of western countries invading, corrupting and colonizing.
The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.
This isn’t a conspiracy theroy or anything, it’s all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn’t the norm for the longest time until US intervention.
Lol, it’s the Wests fault that the Mid East is the way it is towards homosexuals?
I thought Islam was the religion of peace?
There it is. The thinly veiled Islamophobia.
There it is, white washing violence through accusations of Racism and Islamophobia.
