[QUOTE="donner, post: 4224845, member: 277"] interesting article. not sure i'd have found that one on my own. That said, we are again at a point where context is important. His blanket statement is not the same as what you said. I think i'd have understood your position better with this information earlier, but the person being interviewed spends a lot of time on why the gay community has supported the Palestinians. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to be an issue about religion but about the treatment of the group by the Israelis. "So many people in the queer Palestinian movement are connecting the struggles for queer liberation and the Palestinian liberation struggle as inextricably linked and fundamentally connected" After reading that article (and the guy is a bit all over the place at times), it's clear he isn't trying to speak for the entire community, or even claim that the entire gay community supports Palestine, but talks about the support from within the community for the Palestinians and how it's grown as it relates to being a group with disproportionate power. There is a difference there that your position didn't express. And given the person's position as a gay Palestinian, i'm also inclined to wonder if he's overstating his position. [/QUOTE]
