      in honor of the 132 hostages — 128 of them abducted on October 7 and four who have been held for nearly a decade — still in terrorist captivity in Gaza

      Nothing about the Palestinians in captivity in Israel.

      It could also be for the closeted queer Palestinians routinely blackmailed by Israeli intelligence into acting as spies.

      I genuinely read the headline and thought “Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza”, and then I realised the truth.

      They love branding pride as something Israeli, but outside of Tel Aviv the country is terribly homophobic, in particular with the current fascist government.

      It is a propaganda ruse to be more palatable to western liberals

        So countries aren’t allowed to have differences between the city and the countryside? Same could be said about many western countries.

          Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city… Thinking of the area in a classical rural-city divide doesn’t work anyways, because you don’t have the “lived in my village seen nothing else since 10 generations” families, given how most came to steal the land just two generations ago.

            Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city…

            And I never said that. It is the one with the most liberal international reputation though.

            The rural-city divide is not about people staying in the same place for generations, otherwise the us wouldn’t have one. It’s about progressive and traditional values. And Israel does have geographical differences in that regard.

            Anything else?

      Netanyahu isn’t that popular among Israelis. Far less popular than the actions in Gaza, for example.
