Reason Magazine says, “Gay and transgender people—both in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank—face an extraordinary level of persecution.” Adding, “Indeed, gay and transgender people—both in Gaza and the West Bank—face an extraordinary level of persecution, persecution that may result in a years-long prison sentence or even death.”
A homosexual in Gaza is a complete non-sequitur.
Middle Eastern i24 news posted the story entitled “Exclusive: Gay man who fled Gaza speaks about Hamas repression” He said, “If you are gay, you should be hiding. It’s so hard. I was so scared. Scared from everything you know?”
He also voiced his fears by saying—“There are many people gay in the Gaza Strip, and they are in Hamas also. If you are gay, you should be hiding. It’s so hard. I was so scared. Scared from everything you know? Scared of getting hit, of getting kidnapped. I was so afraid. I was afraid Hamas would find out I was gay."
All a modern American liberally educated student could do in Gaza is one of two things, and they would not dare to say I am Hamas if they were caught.
They could hide or they could die.
The spirit of Hamas may lure the simple minded, but the truth of Hamas will be death to all who think it is sweet.
Consider this passage from the book of Proverbs.
“Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.” (Pr 23:6-8)
Are you indeed Hamas?
