Not I.<br /><br />I'm all for inclusiveness and gay rights and I believe the point is exactly that gay rights are enshrined in Israeli law vs. in any other country in the Middle East. And Israelis are actually trying to help gay Palestinians get refuge in Israel (have you read the blog thoroughly?)<br /><br />If Mr. Khaki wants to help the gay Muslim communities around the world get out from under their oppressive regimes, as he claims, then his Israeli target misses the mark by a country mile. <br /><br />I can't say for certain, but maybe you know, has he for instance, petitioned the P.A. and Hamas on gay rights issues? Has he encouraged his listeners to do the same? <br /><br />He has all the right, as do you, to protest and speak out on Israel about whatever subject. And as I said, he could even do so IN Israel. The same opportunity isn't afforded him by the Palestinians. You said it yourself, "help them with their struggle and don't demonize them". Has anyone from QuAIA protested the Palestinian brutal record on gay rights?Blintzkrieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479427977601665683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199093213229166970.post-54644341676865789592009-05-29T06:48:27.242-07:002009-05-29T06:48:27.242-07:00Anonymous, I fail to see why you keep linking B'na...Anonymous, I fail to see why you keep linking B'nai Brith into this conversation? <br /><br />1. B'nai Brith is not Israel<br />2. Heebonics is not B'nai Brith<br /><br />Let's stick to the point of this particular blog: the state of Israel is the only one that DEFENDS gay rights in the Middle East, Arab-Israeli ones included.

When a recording was produced of Hagee stating that God had sent Adolph Hitler to help the Jews reach the Promised Land, this proved too much for McCain to stomach. Yet here in Canada, B’nai Brith, led by Frank Dimant, carries on an active association with Hagee’s close Canadian associates, who are cut from the same clerical cloth. Their alliance is based on a common outlook of what they believe is good for Israel and to a lesser extent, on a common social conservative political agenda linking them to the Conservative Party. <br /><br />The Bnai Brith opposed to Sven Robinson’s human rights bill that the Christian right, and that Bnai brith, that is Mr. Dimant, would not support the bill without protection being given to the speech of anti-gay clergy<br /><br />from Anonymous #2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199093213229166970.post-31825857485678622612009-05-28T11:04:37.067-07:002009-05-28T11:04:37.067-07:00Really Anonymous #2?

You don't find the slightest bit of hypocrisy in the fact that Palestinian Gays are persecuted by their own government, yet can seek refuge in Israel, while someone like Khaki rails against a non-existent "Apartheid" state in Israel? Isn't it funny that Khaki could probably have an easier - and safer - time protesting Israel IN Israel, than he could protesting it from the West Bank or Gaza?Blintzkrieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479427977601665683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199093213229166970.post-79584070777178686952009-05-23T09:12:28.141-07:002009-05-23T09:12:28.141-07:00Great thoughts.
