The groups that want to take away the rights of gay men and queer people in general are the same groups that want to take away the rights of the Palestinians. Since we are in a shared struggle against the same organizations there is no dilution of effort in taking up each other's causes. edit: typo

Thinking you might have a wee bit more research to do?

How so? Pinkwashing corporations that are complicit in Israel's genocide and the Republican Party sound like shared antagonistic organizations to me.

The linked article about the root cause of homophobia in Palestine has nothing to do with BDS. Hamas being a far-right Islamist organization, that is homophobic, doesn't justify the actions of Israel or the corporations that are complicit in their genocide. Israel's right to defend itself isn't a blank check to violate international law or commit crimes against humanity. The Palestinians aren't represented by Hamas. So the fact Hamas is homophobic doesn't mean all Palestinians are homophobic. Israel's current government, which is fascist, is lead by Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu's goals are preventing Palestinian statehood and staying out of prison. Netanyahu is not interested in freeing Palestinians or freeing queer Palestinians.
