Do you really stand for human rights?
Or are you defending the human rights of other privileged people just from your privileged position?

This year, the theme of Helsinki Pride is "Pride without borders", but there is no pink door in the apartheid wall.

The Palestinian singer Bashar Murad wrote this last year:

“There’s no pride in genocide.
Pride month conveniently comes in June during the ongoing genocide in Gaza & after the 76th anniversary of our on-going Nakba.” ➡️

”Pride month is a great opportunity for israel to pinkwash its crimes against queer and non-queer Palestinians alike.

It’s another opportunity to lean into orientalist tropes and paint Palestinians as backward, barbaric savages, and to paint israel as the "only democracy" in the Middle East.” ➡️

”It is crucial to remember that Israel does not discriminate in its discrimination.

There is no pink door in the apartheid wall that ”saves” Palestinian queers.

There are no sensors to detect & protect queer Palestinians from IDF bombs.” ➡️

”And even if it were, does that mean that queer lives are more valuable than others?

We will not allow the occupation to weaponize our sexualities against us.” ➡️

”Pride Month is our opportunity to remind the world that the fight for the liberation of Palestine is intersectional:

It is a feminist issue.
A racial justice issue.
An environmental issue.
And a queer issue.
And needs support & action of the global community.

My only pride is being Palestinian.”

You can't say you didn't know.

The genocide of Palestinians made by occupier israel has now continued for 603 days and 77 years.

Don't celebrate Pride with supporters of genocide. Don't buy products from the genocide supporters.
