THE REAL STORY BEHD GAY PRI WEEK 2016

” This year’s Tel Aviv Pri, takg place on June 3rd, will attract tens of thoands of ternatnal gay tourists to Tel Aviv, whose tourist dollars and cultural pal are ed by the Israeli state to promote the untry a posive light. Israeli brandg experts, such as the foundg head of Brand Israel Ido Aharoni, cynilly assume that LGBT people, rather than terted polics, are a-polil people lookg for an environment brand as “gay-iendly, ” which they n nsume and relax. Boytt Tel Aviv Pri (#boyttTLVpri) aims to expose Israel’s cynil e of gay rights as ver for s polici of occupatn, segregatn, and vlence, referred to as Pkwashg.

From the onset of the Brand Israel Campaign the ernment has succeed appealg to gay men worldwi: gay tourist numbers have grown om a uple of thoand 2006 to over 50, 000 2015. It aims to promote Israel as a prime gay tourist statn, on the premise that gay tourists will not be fed by human rights vlatns takg place the untry. Gay tourists are ved to be outraged by the alleged homophobia the Paltian society, but not by the Israeli occupatn of the Wt Bank or the Israeli bombs fallg on Gaza.

It asks gay tourists not to take part an event that will boost the enomy of a state that occupi and kills Paltians on a daily basis. Perhaps Tel Aviv has a vibrant nightlife, out gay men, and betiful beach, but Israel also has an illegal occupatn; rtricts the mobily of Paltians jt bee they are Paltian; and execut adly vasns of Gaza and home molns East Jesalem, after which celebrat self for havg liberal gay rights!

200,000 ISRAELIS, TOURISTS TAKE PART TEL AVIV GAY PRI PARA

None of the gay tourist erari prented provi rmatn about Palte or Paltians and the larger soc-polil ntext of the untry, even though Israeli tour operators e imagery that romanticiz and orientaliz Bedou culture for example. Israel’s gay tourism mpaign is central to new natn brandg efforts that seek to disnnect Tel Aviv – as a cultural hotspot – om the dire polil suatn of the rt of the untry (that clus Tel Aviv). Tel Aviv gay tourists and pri visors are ved to explore the rt of the untry’s ancient Judaic culture, which eras Paltian prence and history.

It would be naive to put our polil hope tourism, but wh the Boytt Tel Aviv Pri mpaign, activists pot out that gay tourism ntribut to Israeli pkwashg by refully glossg over the soc-polil ntext of war and occupatn. The mpaign shows the ways which gay tourism and gay pri erase Paltian liv and culture and prent the Israeli narrative wh a gay flavor.

The gay tourism agenda rrponds to the larger Brand Israel agenda, bee seeks to appeal to people via a brandg of culture and leisure, while erasg the background of war and occupatn on which the activi n take place. The celebratn of gay rights attempts to make the tourists fet that they are actually a warzone, where eedom is a prciple limed to Israelis and ternatnal gay tourists. Although gay rights Israel are celebrated by the state when is the state’s tert, Israel has a very limed fn of human rights when ncerns Paltians.

The lnched “Boytt Tel Aviv Pri” mpaign draws attentn to the ways which gay tourism is plic wh occupatn through enomic, cultural and polil aspects. Its goal is to create a boytt nstuency among the gay muny solidary wh Paltian rights as part of the broar Boytt Divtment and Sanctns (BDS) movement, which Israel se as a “strategic threat” to their regime of occupatn, lonialism and apartheid.

As queer Paltian, BDS, and transnatnal solidary activists we aim to ruate Israel’s gay pri and gay tourism mpaign wh a polil ntext of the realy of war and occupatn. The mpaign challeng Israel’s gay tourism narrative that Israel valu pri and eedom while aspirg to make Paltians visible and immobile.

Although unrstands the sire of LGBTs to travel whout facg homophobia and transphobia; pots out the cynicism of the ways which a vlent and racist ernment seiz this opportuny to manipulate this need. Choosg to be a tourist, gay or straight, a untry that stas an illegal occupatn next to s annual pri para is not a e for a gay celebratn.
