Some of our readers have taken issue with the fact that some of our posts, while supporting Israel, disparage liberals. We don’t want to insult anyone, but it is an unfortunate fact that many liberal/progressive causes are being infiltrated by Israel haters who are being allowed to advance their Israel/Jew-hating agenda on the backs of these causes (Linda Sarsour and Rasmea Odeh pretending to be feminists, BLM, “intersectionality”). Then there is the undeniable fact that many liberals in the mainstream press (hello New York Times, BBC, etc.) twist news stories to to unfairly slam Israel.

We at EY do not want to insult our liberal readers. In running this video, we want to be clear that it is the speaker, not EY, who is insulting liberals. But there is a context, as mentioned above, for her anti-liberal vitriol. 

So watch and enjoy the video, and if you are a liberal who is truly concerned for Israel and basic morality, it’s time to challenge the haters who are trying to hijack liberal causes.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian protesters whitewashed a rainbow flag of gay rights that was painted by a Palestinian artist on six slabs of the West Bank separation barrier. The artist, Khaled Jarrar, said Tuesday…

Jarrar, 39, who has exhibited in Europe and the United States, told The Associated Press that the destruction "reflects the absence of tolerance, and freedoms in the Palestinian society."

"People don't accept different thinking in our society," he said, adding he drew the rainbow flag on the barrier to put a spotlight on Palestinian issues.

Mohammed, who only gave his first name for fear of repercussions, said he helped whitewash the flag because "we cannot promote gay rights."

Mohammed al-Amleh, a 46-year-old lawyer, also approved of the action, saying that "it would be shameful to have the flag of gays in our refugee camp."

Gay Palestinians tend to be secretive about their social lives and some have crossed into Israel to live safely.

A 1951 Jordanian law banning homosexual acts remains in effect in the West Bank, as does a ban in Gaza passed by British authorities in 1936.
