Groups like “Gays for Palestine” and “Queers for Palestine” have grown louder and more noticeable during pro-Hamas demonstrations in American cities and on college campuses since the terrorist attacks against civilians by Hamas on October 7.
Recently, “Queers for Palestine” obstructed the Disney World exit in Orlando, Florida, with banners in hand and shouts of “Free, free Palestine!”
And while these groups may shout anti-Semitic, homicidal slogans like “From the River to the Sea” with great fervor and enthusiasm, maybe they ought to pause and pay attention to what well-known Palestinian Islamic, political, and cultural personalities have to say about them.
In the harshest terms, the Palestinian people “will not accept a single homosexual” on their territory and gays “should be thrown head first from the rooftop of the tallest building,” according to a collection of remarks released by Palestinian leaders that MEMRI published.
MEMRI reports:
“What is the local culture? The Islamic culture. If this call clashes with the local culture, the laws and covenants of the United Nations – which call for homosexuality – must be followed. So what do they want from us? What do they want from this society that follows the Islamic culture, which sees homosexuality and lesbianism as punishable by death? They want us to respect this and strip us of our religion.”
“Our Muslim Palestinian people will not accept a single homosexual openly declaring his abomination. Will you allow a single homosexual on the land of Jerusalem and Palestine? Will you allow that? No. Our people will not allow there to be institutions that promote this abomination, on the blessed, and pure land of Palestine.”
“Allah punished male and female adulterers [only] with flogging or stoning, but when He decided to punish homosexuals, He said that they should be thrown head first from the rooftop of the tallest building, and then they should be stoned from the top.”
