Here's another group the Arab-haters here can pretend doesn't exist:

It's great that this article assumes gays have a platform to speak in heavenly, secular Palestine, but this article doesn't convince me. It seems obliviously naive and ignorant, and I laugh at people who think that Palestine has some sort of free-loving gay liberation culture, what world are you living in, Raccoon Rapist? It would be nice, but I think it seems more like a nifty distortion of reality.

"Palestinian society is one of few Arabic societies in which during the last fifteen years a distinct queer voice has developed."

Ahahaha. I won't hold my breath on that one, but when I see a gay pride march or discussion on gay civil unions, I'll accept the article for what it is. Whether or not progress is being made, it is still a disgustingly religiously conservative area. Take off your rose-tinted glasses.

No one hates Arabs., it is foolish for you to say that., May be some Persains hate Arabs.. lol.. But., Raccoon you seem to go to all corners of the world in support of the freedom and the cause of Palestinian people., I too support them but I will not support their political parties and their Islam . Funny thing about your post is, You go around & around at the end you enter in to the hole that is made by juice..

Lucky the lady lives in Jerusalem., Tell me, how many offices this organization

has inside the Palestine Islam dominated areas.. This is the game of juice trying to fool Muslims of Palestine. The lady says

You recently had a tour in the US. Can you tell me about the objectives of the tour and how it went?

The main goal of the tour was to bring the voice of Palestinian queers into mainstream venues of the US queer movement. The idea for this tour emerged because the gay Palestinian movement has a specific image in the West. We are perceived as being victims of our society. It is often assumed that Palestinian society is particularly homophobic and that the Israeli gay community is progressive and that Israel is saving gay Palestinians who run away from their communities. All of these are problematic and not true images.

No one talks about the strong, mature queer Palestinian movement or acknowledges that we have our own agenda and dreams and vision. So this is why we came to the US – we came to convey our voice.

The tour was amazing. We met with diverse queer people, people of color, Arab and Jewish groups. We talked about our achievements, our challenges and our unique perspectives. We shared how we believe that we can grow from the challenges that we face.

PUT HER IN BURQA ..

Yo, cock. Where did I make ANY of the above claims you are assigning to me? I didn't make the claim that the views presented in the article were entirely accurate or that Palestinian society was tolerant of homosexuals. My point is for Arab-hating, Israel-boosting bigots like YOU that the Palestinians are not some homogenous bloc of bloodthirsty, Jew-hating Islamists as you like to paint them.

That is the problem with you., I am sure you know that it is not right to say "Israel-boosting bigots " automatically become Arab hating bigots" .. No that is wrong..

As far as Unechance is concerned., I have not read "HIS ARAB HATING JUICE LOVING POSTS" may be I missed it...

So... This alqaws is an interesting organization, supporting "gay/lesbian/queer" .. whatever party from the land of Prophets.. ...lol. that link says

Palestinian Queer Party
Friday 29.7.2011
17:00 - 23:00
Comfort 13 Club
Comfort 13 st. Yaffa- TLV

Name is "Palestinian Queer Party" and Address is "Yerushalaim Blvd, Jaffa Tel Aviv" ...., It is in juice Capital .. ., That sounds really good to me. So I wonder who started this and who supports that financially and otherwise and I also wonder whether electing these guys from Israel and replacing them in the leadership cadre of

Quote
1). PLO (Munazzimat al-Tahrir al-Filastiniyya)

2). Fatah

3). Ham ASS

Palestinian Islamic Jihad

Al-Sa'iqa

and so many others like

PFLP
PCLP-GC
PPP - Palestinian People's Party
Fatah Revolutionary Council
The Palestinian Revolutionary Communist Party
The Palestinian Democratic Union (FIDA)
Fatah-Uprising
Palestine Liberation Front
Palestinian Popular Struggle Front
Popular Resistance Committees
Active Organization for the Liberation of Palestine (AOLP)

If I could relaplace the heads of all those organizations of PEACE along with Israeli Government., I think That area will be peaceful..

Anyways it is good to know those who have problems with their gender are better human beings.. lol. By definition all the prophets are good people .. After all god said that., so I wonder whether these guys had/have the gender problem...
