Gay Israel Activist Rips LGBT Student Group After It Pulls Support for His Event to Show ‘Solidarity’ With Palestinians
by Rachel Frommer

A gay Israeli activist and former IDF commander told The Algemeiner on Friday that he was “baffled by the alignment of the LGBTQ community with the anti-Israel narrative,” after a University of Florida (UF) student group pulled support for his on-campus lecture to show “solidarity” with Palestinians.

Hen Mazzig — currently on a university speaking tour organized by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America watchdog group — said Pride Student Union of UF acted hypocritically when it backed out of his April 5 lecture (which went ahead with the support of student group This is Israel UF).

“Instead of fighting for equality, the LGBTQ community is showing the same type of bigotry that they should be standing up against. They are saying they want equality, but it’s limited; it’s for everyone but Israeli Jews,” he said, adding that he was doubly confounded by Pride’s actions as “Israel is the only country in the region who cares at all about these issues.”

There's a term "pink washing", I don't want to misstate what it means but it means something like what is described above. One can look it up.

I'd rather liberal causes were colliding than colluding. Makes life easier.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
It's because the heart of liberalism rebels against Western Civilization, God, Country, Family, Constitution, and whatever else represents real freedom and liberty. They are like little children, rebelling till they don't know what they're even rebelling against, and simply being the useful idiot. Till the day of reckoning comes of course and the string pullers put them on the chopping block.
The Republic is lost.
