As the month of June comes to an end, many countries around the world, including Israel, recognize Pride Month. This is a month to celebrate love and freedom and work toward equality.
Hamas’ Genocidal Agenda
Hamas, on the other hand, continues to show their genocidal agenda. For 17 years, Gaza has been controlled by this cruel, oppressive jihadist terrorist organization. Over these years, many stories of the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized groups from Gaza have come to light.
Stories of Persecution
- Mahmud Iswi: A former Hamas commander who was executed by a fellow Hamas member solely because he was gay.
- Abdul: He was arrested and held in inhumane conditions for being gay and later fled Gaza.
Wider Impact of Hamas’ Rule
Hamas’ cruelty doesn’t stop at queer people. Did you know that, according to UN officials, 70% of women in Gaza were victims of abuse or domestic violence in 2020?
Call for Change
If you really care about equality, then removing Hamas from power in Gaza is the only way for a future of human rights and respect in Gaza.
