This is also nsired by most – pecially today’s youth – to be the fg civil rights issue of our time, so let’s take a look how both Israelis and Paltians treat the gay people their rpective societi. – Gay Christian Paltian who fled the PA for Israel, criciz the opprsive Paltian society and says, ntrast, Israel allows gays the “eedom to exprs (their) sex and take pri ”.

The are jt a few of the many stori we uld list here to highlight Paltian btaly toward homosexuals, however the most famo persecuted gay Paltian is for sure John Calv, who was raised a pro-Hamas fay the Wt Bank. In his recent blog post, he begs for asylum Canada as they prepare to port him back to the Paltian terrori, where is more than certa that he will suffer the same fate of so many other outed gays that me before him, and had the unlucky fortune to be born to one of the most sadistic societi the world when to their treatment of homosexuals.

– Tel Aviv has equently been referred to by publishers as one of the most gay iendly ci the world, famo for s annual Pri Para and gay beach, earng the nickname “the gay pal of the Middle East” by Out magaze. That’s right, those mercils, child-killg, Paltian-blood-drkg soldiers you’ve heard about, went out of their way to support Tel Aviv’s Gay Pri week 2012, and did so by postg this photo on the ver of their Facebook page. It was staged bee the IDF Spokperson’s Office wanted to portray the most accurate picture of how the IDF views s homosexual soldiers: wh love and pri, as they do every other soldier.

(It also bears mentng that the picture is ditive of a culture wh the Israeli Defense Forc that the straight soldier feels fortable enough his masculy, and wh his fellow soldier’s homosexualy, to be seen such a public image holdg hands wh him. So for those of you who know nothg at all about this nflict, and wish to be jt a ltle more rmed so you n start to form an opn, I ask you to nsir this one fact as Tel Aviv celebrat s annual Gay Pri Ftival this week:. Although Tel Aviv may be where all the actn is (as is the se wh most pursus Israel), ask any gay who liv here, or any gay who’s been here, and they will tell you that Israelis are the most open and welg society the world toward homosexuals.

Instead, chang the valu and polics of Israeli society over the past twenty years or so created the space which a gay and lbian muny uld first gay anizatn was tablished 1975, thanks largely to the work of immigrants om the Uned Stat and other English-speakg untri fluenced by the velopment of gay liberatn and the unterculture of the 1960s. The very name of this first anizatn, the Society for the Protectn of Personal Rights (then, as today, known as the Agudah, Hebrew), reflected the difficulty of anizg sexual mori at a time when the existence of a sodomy law was thought by many to make homosexualy self illegal.

But for many years, Israeli lbians funneled most of their energi to femism, rather than the stggle for gay and lbian velopment of a gay inty was difficult for many at a time when Israeli society was still the midst of s Znist revolutn.

Chief among them was the fact that gay activists pursued a very mastream strategy, seekg to nvce the wir public that gay Israelis were good patrtic cizens who jt happened to be attracted to the same strategy, pursued until recently, rerced the perceptn that gay rights was a non-partisan issue, unnnected to the major fissure Israeli polics, the Arab-Israeli nflict and how to rolve . Embracg gay rights enabled Israelis to pat themselv on the back for beg open-md, even as Israeli society wrtled ls succsfully wh other social equali. Th, the opposn of relig parti to gay rights has engenred the oppose reactn among non-relig Revolutn BegsThe mastream path started to grate on some gay and lbian Israelis the late 1990s.
