Questions for Reflection and Discussion
- What are the connections we see between the legalization of gay marriage in the US and Pinkwashing in I/P?
- Why is it important for us to make these connections?
- How does pinkwashing by Brand Israel support the occupation?
- How might passage of gay marriage serve as pinkwashing in the US? Who are we being distracted from seeing?
- How do we bend our queerness toward justice?
- What can queer jews bring to BDS?
- How does this inform our work moving forward? (Pride?)
- What kind of messaging could we use to bring these connections into Pride?
