Gays for gaza like chickens for kfc
Israel PM Netanyahu equates pro-Palestine Protesters Group 'Gays For Gaza' to 'chickens for KFC'
"It's amazing, absolutely amazing. Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming 'Gays for Gaza'. They might as skillfully hold up signs saying 'Chickens for KFC'. These protesters chant 'From the river to the sea'. But many don't hold a clue what river and what sea they're talking about. They not only get an F in geography, they obtain an F in history. They call Israel a colonialist state. Don't they know that the Ground of Israel is where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob prayed, where Isaia
I’m a queer Palestinian. Cease using my identity as cover for the destruction of Gaza
Pride has never been apolitical, but in recent years, particularly after the Israeli occupation’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip after 7 October 2023, the coalition of gay rights in the west has felt increasingly fractured.
In Berlin, the city I call home, Pride events have splintered along political lines as Palestine has been a recurring indicate of contention. According to organisers of Internationalist Gender non-conforming Pride Berlin (IQP Berlin), a split between two major alternative Pride events followed an incident in which the initial organisers called police to the event after participants expressed solidarity by chanting “free Palestine”. Meanwhile, at Berlin’s official Pride parade, attenders have previously waved rainbow and Israeli flags as they marched through Berlin alongside an Israeli embassy float.
At last year’s IQP Berlin, the Palestine bloc was one of the largest. Jews and Arabs walked side-by-side, wrapped in Palestinian keffiyeh scarves, flanked by German police.
The event faced police pushback, including officers in full riot gear wielding batons and shields. At least 25 people were d

As thousands of protesters gathered outside the Capitol, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress — and spent a significant portion of his hourlong speech attacking the U.S. pro-Palestinian protest movement with insults and misinformation.
The prime minister went after campus protesters, drawing a phony equivalence between students calling on their schools to divest from Israel and antisemitic attacks. He went on to insult protesters’ geographical and historical awareness of the region, in reference to the object slogan “From the river to the sea,” and belittled the slogan “Gays for Gaza,” saying it was the same as “Chickens for KFC.”

A US group is now challenging Queers for Palestine by offering to fund an LGBTQ Pride parade in Gaza.
The offer is pretty clear: $1 million to underwrite expenses for Queers for Palestine or any nonprofit that can host a gay pride parade in Gaza or the West Bank
“The offer is lovely clear: $1 million to underwrite expenses for Queers for Palestine or any organization that can host a gay pride pride in Gaza or the West Bank. Floats, banners, glitter —gay pride parades can be expensive,” Gregory T. Angelo, president of the New Tolerance Campaign (NTC), told The Media Line. “I’d be cheerful to review a budget when Queers for Palestine takes us up on our offer.”
