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.
Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.
Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I’m telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it’s easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.
Whooosh…
That’s what the sound of an idea going over your head sounds like.
But keep hiding behind whatever excuses you can think of to justify these crimes.
