Being Palestinian During Israeli Pride Week
Manage episode 235090214 series 2495057
Every year, thousands of tourists travel to Tel Aviv in mid-June to take part in the annual Pride Week festivities.
For LGBTQ Palestinians living in Israel, however, the celebrations are far more complicated. Israel likes to celebrate how liberal and pluralistic it is while covering up — or “pinkwashing” — its human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories, says our guest on this episode, journalist Zizo Abul Hawa.
Caught between wanting to celebrate their gender identities and stand up for Palestinian rights, Pride Week brings into focus the balancing act that queer Palestinians often face.
