Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.

The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.

      8% of the world’s population identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

      Israel has killed 21,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Assuming the same percentage, that is 1680 people who identified themselves as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

      In the 20 years of Hamas rule, they have not killed 1680 people in Gaza for being gay.

        It’s a bad assumption. Anyone found to be gay in Gaza was already killed by their family or public stoning. The percentage there is going to be significantly lower than any average.

          A huge deal was made one gay guy was killed for being gay last year. Its doubtful they were killing thousands or people would’ve similarly noticed.

            It was a huge deal because he made it out of the west bank alive and was outspoken. Plenty more people that did not have such luck.
