Queers for terrorism
So last month Kate Raphael of Berkeley was arrested for protesting the nasty "apartheid" wall that keeps Palestinian suicide bombers from murdering Jewish grandmothers in restaurants. (And if you think assassinating terrorist leaders and building a wall doesn't keep Israelis - Jew and Arab - alive, check the stats.)
Turns out Kate is an active member of QUIT. No, it's not an anti-smoking club, it stands for - wait for it - Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism.
That's right, queers undermining the only state in the Middle East where queers have equal rights, the state to which Palestinian queers flee so they don't get tortured and killed by fellow Palestinians.
Anyway, the QUIT site has a running account of Kate's travails (she was released on Thursday) and many links to their activities and position papers.
Thus, gay activists prove that they can be just as self-hating as Jewish activists:
Emmaia Gelman, a member of Queers for Palestine, a New York-based activist group that she said has some 20 to 30 members, said gays and lesbians are disproportionately represented in leadership roles in pro-Palestinian activist groups.
