Palestinian Queers
Call for Boycott of Israel
In February,
speakers from ASWAT - Palestinian Gay
Women, al Qaws for Sexual and Gender
Diversity in Palestine, and Palestinian
Queers for BDS spoke to over 700 people in
San Francisco and Berkeley, as part of a
highly successful national tour.
They talked about how harmful "pinkwashing"
- the Zionist efforts to portray Israel as
the only queer-friendly democracy in the
Middle East - is to their struggle for
equality and recognition.
After the tour,
Palestinian Queers for BDS issued an open
letter asking all queer institutions
to decline invitations to visit Israel or
partner with mainstream Israeli
institutions.
