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.
Hold it in Palestine, get murdered by Israel.
Hold it in Iran, get murdered by Israel.
Hold it in Lebanon, get murdered by Israel.
…but Israel is less homophobic than them, so Israel’s genocide is good, actually.
Are you able to explain why the Nazis were bad in a way that doesn’t implicate Israel?
Your logic and grasp of the international situation seems lacking. But your sycophantic fervor for Palestinian propaganda in the face of hard truths is even more telling.
Palestine is a war zone… A war of aggression started in October by Hamas. I wouldn’t recommend holding the conference there for that reason alone. However the double whammy comes from the Palestinians themselves who would kill, jail and persecute LBGTQ+ members even without a war.
Once again LBGTQ+ individuals would be killed, jailed and persecuted even without the current conflict with Israel. Women are beaten raped and killed just for refusing to cover their face. Iranians have rioted in recent days over this behavior. Yet you imply Israel is at fault… pathetic.

Once again Lebanon is an active war zone. But even without the war Lebanon killed, jailed and persecuted LBGTQ+

Israel is the only country where LBGTQ individuals are accepted. Many LBGTQ+ people from surrounding countries flee to Israel to avoid persecution and death.

Simple Israel is fighting a war that was thrust on it by Hamas in October. Nazis fought a war of aggression. The fact that you can’t tell the difference is sad.
Go spew your toxic propaganda, I’m sure the Tankie’s will continue to get off on it and upvote you.
Yeah - history started 13 months ago, and the genocide being committed in Palestine is actually a Hamas war of aggression. Is it because it’s all Israeli territory and therefore that genocide is justified?
You don’t get to weaponise the LGBTQ+ community, who Israel is exterminating at a far quicker rate than everyone else in the region combined to justify the extermination of those LGBTQ+ people, their families, and everyone they care about.
Yes - Israel invaded them.
That’s probably less defensible than the argument that the Jews were sabotaging the German economy in defence of the Holocaust - it’s definitely less defensible than arguing Hitler had no choice but to start WWII because of the economic carve-up following WWI.
Congratulations - you’re just as genocidal as the Nazis and use even stupider arguments than they do. The tankies can go fuck themselves - but my prescription for you would defy TOS, Rudolph Jitler.
