Sacha Baron Cohen mentioned that, during the filming of Bruno, when he was in Israel, that was the closest time he ever got to being killed. Because he was acting like a flamboyant gay man, a mob attacked him and tried to stone him.

An Israeli mob, btw, not a Palestinian one

And yet he is a Zionist who lobbied against TikTok to take down pro-Palestinian content.

west bank settlers meanwhile are extremely tolerant of LGBTQ+ people.

even Israel 'proper' is extremely reactionary but West Bank settlers are on another level.

Even if Hamas wanted to kill as many queer people as possible, they'd have no hope of matching, let alone surpassing, Israel's body count

I was coincidentally walking around the National Mall on the day of that pro-genocide “March for Israel” and saw a toooon of people with combination Israeli/Pride flags and I just wanted to ask them “Hey out of curiosity is gay marriage legal in Israel”

Not sure how the idea that Israel is pro-lgbt even spread because they haven't legalized gay marriage and only recognize same-sex couples that had their marriages done abroad. They don't even recognize Civil Unions in their country.
