Queers for Palestine is like Chick-fil-A and Jews for Nazis, or chickens for KFC, or perhaps, Jews for Nazi Nazis? It's unbelievable. And it's coming from a place that's gay friendly.
00:00:00.220Hi everybody, this is Gatsad. One of the things that I talk about in The Parasitic Mind is the self-flagellation that progressives engage in to demonstrate how truly pure they are in their tolerance, in their kindness, in their empathy.
00:00:19.360Well, this is something that I weighed in a long time ago, but it's now coming back up in light of the Israel-Palestinian conflict that is raging right now.
00:00:32.360There are signs, queers for Palestine, right?
00:00:37.500So, if you are a so-called member of the queer community, or let's say LGBTQ, you would think that what matters is for you to find an environment, an ecosystem that is maximally tolerant to your identity.
00:00:54.320That's why you identify yourself as queer.
00:00:57.320So, Tel Aviv is one of the most queer-friendly places on Earth.
00:01:02.700So, if you think about cities that have a vibrant, say, gay community, you think of New York, you think of San Francisco, you think of Montreal, you think of Tel Aviv.
00:01:15.580But these super-progressive, super-smart, very leftist people say, no, we are defending, we are queers for Palestine, because we all know that in Gaza, they have just an incredible, a heartwarming reception to gay people.
