Pink washing? Where?

Yes, I am applying the same standards everywhere. Please don't assume I support Israel's government because I don't support Hezbollah, I hate the nefarious ideology and the crimes of both of them.

but it isn't a "both sides". one is a mighty military racist apartheid state conducting genocides and ethnic cleansing, the other is a local resistance movement. without Israel, Hezbollah or Hamas would not exist the way they do. and saying it should be illegal to support them because they are homophobic is a bullshit reason, given that they are fighting an homophobic state. not in favor of their homophobia, but I think they should have the right to resist illegal occupations and their own genocides.
