I think that’s usually used against LGBT people supporting Hamas and not as much to support Israeli attacks and occupation. For the latter yeah it’s not a very good gotcha, LGBT rights probably aren’t the biggest worry right now for people living in Gaza
There has been a lot of pinkwashing (JVP), it’s been a pretty gross way for Israel to deflect criticism of crimes against humanity by using identity politics
I was about to say that it does mention it in the article but I realized it was the other comment I made. But yes, Israel absolutely uses it as a tool of their propaganda.
Besides, Israel itself is also becoming increasingly unfriendly for LGBTQ folk (whether Israeli or not) etc., due to the growth of the far-right/reactionary groups, who gained support due to media and oligarchs employing a “divide and rule” policy. Those parties hold a majority in the Knesset.
And almost every group is anti-Palestine there, ie. supports exclusion based on the concept of an ethnostate, or are not supportive of the Right to Return after the Nakba.
Just one list (composed of two groups) in the Knesset doesn’t condone genocide (be it immediate, gradual, whitewashed, pinkwashed or any of these forms.).
That list being Hadash Ta’al. Of those, one is nationalist however, and the other is effectively ‘neutral’ on the matter of Palestinians’ right to return to their homes and live there as full citizens, instead of supportive.
Only one party, that is, Maki, seems to be fully ‘normal’. This party does propose a two-state solution, but other than that is one of few beacons in a wasteland of genocidal pink-/brown-washing, I am afraid.
Furthermore the Election Committee of Israel disqualified a list candidate from Hadash (from Hadash Ta’al), while the Election Committee is composed of Knesset members. In essence, the parliament picks its own candidates, instead of the people picking their own candidate. That is not democratic.
