It took a while, but after 5 years of Israeli PR targeted at LGBT tourists, queers are finally succeeding in blowing the lid off the Israeli government's pinkwashing campaign. Just as pro-Israel/pro-Apartheid newspapers are full of claims (like this one) that queers should adore Israel and despise Palestinians, LGBT newspapers are increasingly full of calls to refuse the hate bait. Here are this week's bits:
- Calling Israel to task - Philadelphia Gay News (About the Equality Forum's plan to highlight Israel as its "featured nation" at its conference this year.)
- U.S. LGBT group tours Palestine - The Bay Area Reporter
- Protest Hits Ongoing Ban on Israeli-Palestinian Debate at NYC LGBT Center - Gay City News
...And a must-read from Israel's Alternative Information Center (plus credit for photo above):
Israel seeks minorities, gays for propaganda efforts
