Say NO to pinkwashing
Israel is bombing and killing LGBTQ+ people in Palestine and Lebanon.
“NO to pinkwashing” rejects the tactic of using LGBTQ+ rights to distract from or legitimize violence, occupation, and inequality. Activists highlight how this narrative is utilized by the terrorist state of Israel and the zionist military institutions to obscure broader human rights violations.
The zionist Israeli military and government frequently highlight their record on LGBTQ+ rights to project a progressive, democratic image to the world, while continuing military occupation, displacement, and violence against people in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, etc.
No Pride in Genocide: Global LGBTQ+ networks have actively organized under banners like “No Pride in Genocide,” pushing for boycotts of Israeli state-sponsored LGBTQ+ events and Pride parades that feature complicit organizations.
