Queers for Palestine. What an unlikely slogan. It makes my brain stop working. It’s a thought-terminating cliché along the lines of “Trans rights are human rights” or “Black Lives Matter.” At the heart of Christian mysticism lies a pathway to knowing God, and it is contained in contradictory or paradoxical speech. The “dazzling darkness” of Pseudo-Dionysius, who also talks about “knowing all by knowing nothing” (how is that possible?). Right there, in that spot, we can meet God, but let’s not confuse this with whatever it is the rainbow mob is doing linguistically. While they might feel as though they are part of a religious organisation, with their grievances and gripes and demands being their liturgy, and their rainbow flag their symbol of adoration, it is the opposite in content and character. It is more in line with a cult, and its members display all the signs of having been brainwashed.
Queers for Palestine turned up to support the Free Palestine brigade in London recently, and one blue-haired person was asked why she was there. Her answer: “We’re not free until we’re all free.” It’s catchy-sounding, but devoid of all meaning. She should have said, “We’re not free until those whom we selectively choose to use for our own cause are also free.” That, at least, would have been honest. She sagely continued: “We’re here because there are queers in Palestine.” The logic is that queers in Palestine need also to be freed from the atrocities that Israel is allegedly perpetrating on the citizens. The assumption is that if Israel simply stops what it’s doing, queers will go back to having a fantastic life under Hamas, Islam, and sharia. If I were she, I’d be demanding the release of all queer people in Palestine. I’d be viewing them along the lines of being in a hostage situation at the hands of Hamas. But even then, queers couldn’t simply raise their hands in the rubble and say “I’m queer, I’m here, see me, free me.” They’d be instantly killed or tortured. So the queers attach their grievances to those of the terrorists for whatever reasons they might have, but both parties’ hatred needs an outlet, and they’re not above or below using their own as human shields when they need to score a political point over someone.
Queering the Map is an online digital platform which allows queer users “to make anonymous geotagged posts.” Some of the posts read, “Pls know despite what the media says there are gay Palestinians. We are here, we are queer. Free Palestine.” Free it into what, you might ask. While another post reads, “I knew I was different from a young age… But society demands it remains hidden. I live elsewhere now… I cannot live a lie.” Two things apparently can be true at once — that gay Palestinians support living under sharia, but they also have to flee from a probable public honour killing.
Leftists try to blame the UK for criminalising same-sex relations in Gaza due to the British Mandate Criminal Code Ordinance 1936, while ignoring Islamic laws and attitudes towards the act. Owen Jones was spouting this nonsense recently, until he was reminded that the mandate ended in 1948. Owen Jones is a mouthpiece for the LGBT+ mob. He’s nothing more than an agitator, and he will gleefully twist facts and deliberately leave out information in order to create an imaginary crisis, and in order to sensationalise a thing to fit his agenda. His argument is standing on quicksand if he’s reaching back almost 100 years to try and score a modern-day point. It was illegal to be publicly gay in Scotland as recently as 1980, but so what? Life progresses and laws change. Scotland now has the most progressive laws in all of the UK, albeit over-the-top, misogynistic, and bang out of order. If Islam is stuck in a rut, it’s not the West’s problem. If five million Scots can change their ways, so can 1.8 billion Muslims.
Why are gay groups being drawn to Islam? The truth is that LGBT+ movements are predatory and parasitic in nature, just as Islam is. Today, they are like sharks circling bloody waters whenever they see a perceived victim group that they can devour. They like to vampirically suck the life out of groups of people. It’s what sustains them: victims. Vampires make other vampires, and we see this with all the new additions to the rainbow flag as it changes every couple of years now to include each newly-made monster. Recent inclusions being brown stripes for POC (who were never actually excluded), the trans triangle, and a circle for intersex. Of course, further additions will be made ad nauseam. Even though they’re running out of room on the thing, we are told that “The placement of the new colours in an arrow shape is meant to convey the progress still needed… work is still needed in terms of POC and trans rights. This arrow design is meant to highlight that.” I’d bet they’d love nothing more than a Muslim/Islamic/Palestinian stripe or circle or arrow on that flag. How to go about getting it, though? Simple, turn up at the rallies and pretend to be an ally. It’s the gay equivalent of a dawah stall.
The pro-Palestine mob isn’t buying what the gays are selling, no matter how mightily they flirt and flutter their eyelashes at them. Gays are just going to have to learn that no means no. A skirmish broke out upon the sighting of a Pride flag at a recent protest. The flag was ripped down and trampled on. The only thing both groups have in common is that they both want special treatment under the law. Neither one of them are happy with equality. It’s a hate crime to criticise both groups these days. A man was recently arrested for criticising the number of Palestinian flags that had been put up in his street in East London. Meanwhile, in South London, a man was arrested for pushing over planters in a school’s gardening display. He was arrested and held in custody for causing alarm and distress: “Officers are treating this incident as a motivated hate crime attack on our LGBTQ+ communities.”
The truth of the matter is that the LGBT+ movement in the UK, and certainly the West, is a privileged class. There is nothing left to fight for, because they have rights that the majority of people don’t have. In Scotland, they can change their gender on a daily basis and enjoy the protections under the law afforded to whatever gender they are that day. To quote Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek, they can boldly go to places where “no man has gone before”: into the women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. It is a criminal act to deliberately misgender someone. The war has been won for these groups and these people, but I put the blame on the organisations. They need to remain funded, and in order to receive money they need to create gripes on a regular basis. It has all culminated with men dominating women in sports. That’s what gay progress looks like in the West. It is the very worst of a religious cult.
White liberals are incredibly racist, we already know this. They have a tendency to view all non-white people as being invalids or basket cases who simply have no control over their lives or behaviour. Islam comes with a colour attached to it in their minds – brown – therefore, it is a group for marginalised people who need help. I find it all patronising and very condescending. And they are doing their utmost to align themselves with it. I wonder what colour or stripe or shape they’ll find to represent Islam on their flag. It could simply be a ragged hole in the middle of it, to symbolise a bomb explosion? Can someone please tell them that Islam doesn’t want them, in spite of their best attempts at seduction?

Kepha says
The author is spot on in likening the LGBTQRSTUVWXY crowd to vampires sucking the life out of any group they latch onto. In my several decades, I’ve seen transgenderism go from being bad entertainment to becoming a national religion which I am not allowed to criticize. I myself saw these forty-something, ponytailed Western sex tourists in Bangkok who knew they were riddled with HIV-AIDS, and had to go on a last fling with partners of whatever sex as young as they could find them.
The sexual revolution is no ally in the struggle against jihad. Rather, it is a way the West is softened up for the kill.
Tony Rice says
I think there is a world of difference between gay and bi-sexul persons and transgenders . It is my opinion no-one should be allowed to change their stated gender until they reach a certain age, such as 18 or even higher. Apparently a person does not finally know their real sexual status until the age of 26 and changes made before can be impossible to change back. That kids as young as 5 are being allowed to consider changing their orientation is not only nonsense but dangerous.
Kepha says
Frankly, I’m all for the whole sexual revolution crawling back, not into the closet, but into the sewers beneath Hugh Hefner’s mansion. I’m not for looking under beds or in closets, but this perpetual parade of sexual deviance is too much.
As a professional swindler of the young–oops, public high school social studies teacher–I am required to affirm someone’s gender dysphoria lest I abet his suicide. Yet there are cases in which we’ve done both. We don’t talk about the situation a few miles away, where a boy in a dress raped girls in the girls’ bathrooms in two schools (he was transferred after the first case to accommodate the lengthy legal kerfufffle that now surrounds any school discipline), or of the girl who tried to be a boy and ended up trafficked across state lines all while her (reactionary, you are not qualified) grandmother was crying foul.
I’m against any and all pretended “sex change”. X and Y do not lie, and no good can come from messing with basic biology. It’s all self-destructive anywhere you cut it. As for “sex changes” for minors, a part of me has reached the point where it would like to see all who push for this sort of thing publicly executed (after due process of law, of course). John Money and his acolytes are among the worst people ever–up there with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Saloth Sar; and not one of them should be allowed anywhere neat a lever of power.
As for homosexual and bi, I’m sorry, but everything I see about that subculture yells selfishness and exploitation. Thanks to the American definition of a “pedos” (child) as anyone under 18, we have Harvey Milk, who preyed on teenaged runaways, turned into an icon; and Terry Bean, big Obama downer, and his homosexual partner’s trafficking of a teenaged boy being swept under the rug.
It was bad enough when heterosexual casual teen sex derailed so many girls–whether they kept the baby, put it up for adoption, or had an abortion.
God forgive us all for ever having in the slightest heeded this siren song.
gravenimage says
I agree, Tony. If someone wants to do this as an adult; they can go for it. But children are apt to regret this, and kids are notoriously susceptable to pressure. But unlike a bad haircut or dye job–or even unfortunate piercings–there is no going back from “gender reassignment surgery”.

Apparently they don’t understand Islam, because the LGBT group is blasphemous and a death sentence…..maybe that’s why they are not doing this is Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, Morocco, etc.,.

“Pink-washing” is a verbal utterance without cognitive content. Fact: Israel is the only State in the Middle East that recognizes equal rights for homosexual citizens and visitors. But such a fact is inconvenient to the queer anti-Israel rave party line. So obfuscate the fact they say “Israel engages in pink-washing!”

I cannot understand Islam’s attitude to sex.
Islam is built on the best man who ever lived and nothing he did can be questioned without dire consequences.
About him is narrated that he didn’t deny himself any kind of sexual “fulfilment” from pedo to nekro and everything in between.
I even heard about him being assaulted by a gang of light skinned Indian men who entertained themselves with him for several hours.
If that is the case what is the problem? Is it that nobody cares to study their “holy” scripture?
Can anyone confirm or otherwise?
Kepha says
I’d like to know the cite for Baphomet being assaulted by a gang of light-skinned Indian men.

The attitude re homosexual sex in Islam seems to be this: rape and pedophilia are just fine, but amy kind of mutual same sex relations are Haram and are apt to be met with violence. Just appalling.
tim gallagher says
Homosexuals should be ferociously anti-islam, since barbaric islam would have them all killed. That includes the barbaric Muslim Palestinians. These clowns seem to lack any semblance of logical thought. They plainly have shit for brains. How dumb do you have to be to support Muslims who would kill you for being homosexual. Non-Muslims, such as the Israelis, would treat them quite well, but primitive Muslims would not, so these dopes support the Muslim Palestinians.Yeah, that makes sense..
James Lincoln says
tim,
A spot-on post, my compliments.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, James. I am amazed and also alarmed at how dopey some people are when it comes to islam. I think almost every person with even half a functioning brain would have woken up to islam’s vile nature by now. It ain’t rocket science as that old saying goes. The ability of some members of the human race to bury their heads in the sand and ignore unpleasant realities is stunning. Homosexuals for Muslim Palestinians, or any Muslims, is idiotic beyond belief. They must have a death wish because, if islam ever does get power in our western countries, the homosexuals will be killed off. Ditto for all those idiotic left wingers who support islam in the foolish way they do. If only enough people would wake up and we would ban Muslims from our countries. Lots of people wwho are smarter than i am just don’t get it. it is a lack of common sense i think. Hope you are going well. Have you been to see any more concerts by Vince Gill or other songwriters singers? I’ve watched a few youtube video clips of Vince Gill and Amy Grant at the Ryman theatre and they are great fun together, lots of joking around and then great singing and musicianship on the songs, “Whenever you come around” and “House of Love” both songs I like a lot. Then again, there are endless songs that i like by many different people.
James Lincoln says
tim,
Over the years, I’ve attended dozens of concerts.
In the singer-songwriter category, in addition to Vince Gill, I have seen James Taylor, Jackson Brown, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tom Rush, Bob Dylan – and I’m sure others who do not immediately come to mind.
Enjoy your day, tim.
tim gallagher says
I think that they would all have been very enjoyable concerts, James. I like some of the songs of all those people you mention except for Mary Chapin Carpenter. I would probably like her, have heard of her, but am not familiar with her work. Years ago, I used to go to some concerts, but not these days. All the best to you and your family. I hope that things begin to turn around and we begin to win this long running war against islam although, unfortunately, I can’t see much sign yet of that happening yet. It’s the clash of civilisation against complete barbarity, that’s for sure.
John Pepple says
It’s like they have battered-wife syndrome. No matter how awful Muslims are to leftists, leftists stick by them. It’s ironic since it was leftists who first noticed battered-wife syndrome.
Mike says
Some people might point out that, a few years ago, an ultra-Orthodox Jew murdered a lesbian at a Pride March in Israel (I think it was in Jerusalem and not Tel Aviv).
That kind of thing can happen, yes, but it was an anomaly in Israel. There many be a few people in Gaza or the West Bank who are “queer tolerant,” but if a group even tried to hold an LGBT pride parade or rally in Gaza or the West Bank, the entire ensemble would be slaughtered!
tim gallagher says
No doubt about that, Mike. And after the atrocities the Muslim scum from hamas along with plenty of the scum from among the palestinians from gaza committed back in early October, we all know how these sadistic knuckle draggers love to indulge in slaughtering people. I find it hard to believe that almost all homosexuals have not yet woken up to what islam is all about, there you go. Some people truly do incapable of facing up to unpleasant truths.
Edward A.Brandwein says
I entirely agree with you, Tim
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Edward. i can only repeat that I am stunned that far more of the average citizens of all our countries, and it certainly is still the case here in Australia where I live, have still not woken up to what a force for evil and barbarity islam is. So many slow learners around. A lot of non-Muslims truly do seem to have some kind of death wish.

Those homosexual just don’t “get it” ..Which is they are really nothing to those anti-Israel jihadists but their useful idiots. If the Hamas and Hezbollah Muslims destroy Israel , which is not possible, they be through using the “gay” people as their tools and then tern on them and eliminate them.
tgusa says
The left today, in an absence of real problems to solve (most of those issues/problems have been resolved in the West) long ago. So they seek to find any crumb of resistance to latch on to no matter wrong or right. They have to…they must… have validation. And so they scurry about, from one insignificant or wrongheaded issue to another. Creating problems that dont exist, in a futile effort to do something important, going no where.
Frank Anderson says
Please understand that I like and support Judaism and Jewish people. The present estimate in the US is that 75 percent of Jewish voters vote Democrat in spite of the Democrat party supporting people who want to exterminate Jews worldwide before they continue with Christians, Hindus and everyone else. I have fought most of my life one way or another to live and do better. Understanding why people aid and support their own destruction is beyond me; therefore, like many things it must be accepted and dealt with in the absence of an explanation. The “queers for Palestine” seem no different.
marc says
Its closer to 70%, notice those who identify as Orthodox the numbers are reversed:
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-political-views/
But thats a few years old, it’s amazing to see how many who identify as Conservative Jews (mostly voting dem) since Oct 7 have moved hard to the right.
I would be from the modern orthodox camp, where the % voting right is even higher. And many Orthodox of all types don’t even recognize conservative and liberal Jews as even being Jewish. So for us, most real Jews vote republican.
Frank Anderson says
I stress my support for all Judaism. It is sad that the community finds it so hard to remember that Abraham and all who followed him were converts. And I do vote Republican. I agree with one of several Jewish friends that Judaism as it is written is synonymous with good mental health.
marc says
“Judaism as it is written is synonymous with good mental health” that’s a nice observation.
New converts are rarely an issue in the orthodox community, they are taking on something that someone like me see as a heavy responsibility, they work very hard, I have nothing but respect for them.
Conservative and Liberal Jews are something very different, they have generally abandoned our history and scripture.
Frank Anderson says
marc, please permit the sharing of 3 propositions I find irresistible and 1 that is unfortunately true:
1. Wisdom is its own authority regardless of source or medium of communication.
2. Wisdom is all around us, in the Bible and everywhere else. The challenge is to distinguish the wisdom from the deception and error that are always present to some extent when in human hands.
3. Ask every question repeatedly because the answer will always be incomplete among living humans. “Cherish your doubts for doubt is the handmaiden of the truth.”
4. Converted Jews are second class and will not be accepted among many in the community.

Frank, I have two good friends who have converted to Judaism, and neither has ever been treated as a second class citizen, either here in the US or in Israel, where one of them lived for a decade.
I’m not saying that this has never happened to any conbvert, but the idea that it is widespread–leyt alone the norm–is mistaken.
Despite our disagreement here, glad to see you posting again.

Honored and always respected GI. All 4 of those statements were spoken to me by Rabbi SF in Nashville TN the first time I visited a Jewish community in 1992.
When I discussed Islam’s intention to exterminate Jews at the Conservative Congregation’s Torah Study in 2015 Mobile AL, I was asked to leave.
Have you EVER known me to lie in any of my comments? Yet my love and appreciation for what I learned continues. One of my unnumbered mothers by choice was Jewish. Not to mention my recently lost wife was Jewish by choice who was abandoned by the Jewish community when she had cancer for the third time. You might infer that I tried to convert and thought I had in 2000. But was not accepted after the Rabbi retired.

Maybe they just want attention and for people to just look at me I’am special, no matter how wrong or dumb they seem. Just too much easy access to the media.
Frank Anderson says
Of course, I defer to better professional qualifications to improve what I speculate and observe.
Consider the possibility that such attraction to a group that would kill on sight is a manifestation of “suicide by jihadi” instead of “suicide by cop”. There are many people who loathe what and who they are and consider themselves unable to change. This group/community may be one more example of self-hate.
