Read @alQaws new resource: No #pride without dignity, on why #queer visibility is not enough to combat settler colonial violence.

Pride in TLV is another attempt to Pinkwash Israel's colonial crimes, but for queer Palestinians there is no pride without dignity! New resource on why queer visibility is not enough to combat the violence we face as queers living under settler colonialism https://t.co/Rw3q5kEQeP

Follow this important thread by @alQaws regarding the latest @nytimes pinkwashing article about queer Palestinians. When will NYT start centering #Palestinian #queer voices rather than our colonizer?

[alQaws القوس @alQaws]

THREAD: We told the @nytimes that we would be happy to participate in a piece that centers Palestinian queers and the movement we have built. Instead the NYT chose to erase Palestinian queer orgs and interview zionist Israeli gay organization “The Aguda.”

تل أبيب تحمي المثليين؟
تقدّم "إسرائيل" نفسها للعالم على أنّها "ملجأ" للمثليّين الفلسطينيّين من "همجيّة" مجتمعنا. فما حقيقة هذه "الحماية" الإسرائيليّة؟

Palestinians warmly thank Ana Čigon for withdrawing her animation Rebellious Essence from this year’s TLVFest

We call on all artists featured in the programme to withdraw in opposition to the festival’s cynical use of LGBTQ+ rights to cover rights abuses against Palestinians
