It's not bigotry to avoid hosting a conference in an apartheid state. By 2026, with Trump's approval, Netanyahu will have exterminated most of the remaining Palestinians. Mazel Tov

20% of the population are Arabs. Most are Muslim but you also have Christians There's even a small persian Bahai community in Haifa. Israel granted them asylum after the Iranian revolution. Arabs in Israel vote, serve in parliament, the judiciary, and every aspect of Israeli society. Now do Israeli Arabs face discrimination? Of course. Every ethnic and religious minority face discrimination in every country in the world.

Actually what Palestinians are experiencing is an attempted extermination. NO WHERE safe to escape to, and with humanitarian aid, food and medicine blocked by the Netanyahu government. You tell yourself whatever you need to do you can sleep at night, but the rest of the world can see what's going on. Apartheid and extermination.

This is the LGBT group, do not make this an inditement on Israel, this is about a Queer organization attacking its own members. It is unacceptable. PERIOD!

Some non-Jewish American politicians also criticized the move. “Suspending an LGBTQ organization in Israel from participating in a global organization to advance LGBTQ rights does not advance peace or justice or the Palestinian cause,” tweeted Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat. “If anything, it further marginalizes progressive voices within Israel.”
