This month we've had a couple of stories about the very odd "Queers for Palestine" movement that takes self-loathing to a whole new level whether they know it or not. Yep, it's really a thing:
The movement isn't new. But following the terrorist attacks launched against Israel by Hamas, the Palestinian group that controls Gaza, it has seen a sort of reemergence at various protests. "Queer rights! Trans rights!" protesters are heard chanting in a video taken in New York City. "We say no to genocide!"
That protesters appear to be blaming Israel for those attacks—which have included, among other things, Hamas militants murdering people, filming it, and putting the video on social media for the deceased's family and friends to see—is perverse. But to marry that cause to LGBT rights is simply unhinged from reality.
There are other versions of "Queers for Palestine" as well:

People in the West who know about that area of the world roll their eyes heavily when they hear about "Queers for Palestine," and now there's a video going around that those activists should make sure to watch:
A Palestinian scholar from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem sends a message to the “Queers for Palestine-crowd” in the West:

Oh, without a doubt.
I will pay for a one way ticket for any one of these “Queers for Palestine” to go to Gaza, stand in the middle of the street anywhere in Gaza or any Arab country, waving their gay flag and a sign “Queers for Palestine”

Meanwhile the LGBTQ+WXYZ… crowd here in America are calling Israel and the U.S. Nazis and terrorists while they support Hamas and tear down pictures of the hostages… They should leave these terrible countries and go help Hamas in Palestine. https://t.co/3gLygYlofj

All those “Queers for Palestine” nitwits might want to pay attention to this. Politics of intersectionality will literally be the death of you. https://t.co/2Ii81zZrNL

Apparently they hate Israel and Jews more than they value their own lives.
The moron LBGT protesters who think that they have common cause with the Palestinians will never accept this because they hate Jews more than they love their LBGT cause. https://t.co/ahiNMlNDk7

Sad but true.
