in honor of the 132 hostages — 128 of them abducted on October 7 and four who have been held for nearly a decade — still in terrorist captivity in Gaza
Nothing about the Palestinians in captivity in Israel.
I genuinely read the headline and thought "Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza", and then I realised the truth.
They love branding pride as something Israeli, but outside of Tel Aviv the country is terribly homophobic, in particular with the current fascist government.
It is a propaganda ruse to be more palatable to western liberals
From what I saw when visiting in the 2010s, it's comparable to Europe. It's pretty much the only MENA country where lgbt individuals aren't legally persecuted.
