Congressman for New York's 15th Congressional District

Anti-Israel activists made an appearance in the NYC Pride Parade to signal solidarity with Hamas. There is but one problem with Queers for Hamas: the love is not mutual. There is no Hamas for Queers. Hamas would never be caught dead in a gay pride parade because it wants gay people dead. Queers for Hamas has not yet gotten the memo. Maybe one day it will. Useful idiocy can be outgrown.

Thank you Congressman Torres for the support of truth and Israel and for continuing to battle ignorance, idiocy and hate.

Hamas-ISIS despise the LGBTQ+ community and consider them an abomination in the eyes of God. These Pro-Palestinian activists at NYC Pride Parade are totally uninformed and naive. If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, non-binary, or trans in Gaza you better remain in the closet or face certain death. Queers for Hamas is just the same as blacks for the KKK, Jews for Nazis or Armenians for the Ottoman Empire. It is a total oxymoron and makes absolutely no sense. Israel is safe haven for LGBTQ+ people in the Middle East. In Israel, LGBTQ+ people have almost all the rights they are entitled to and there are open Pride Month celebrations and Pride parades. You will not see that in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Lebanon. The Arab and Islamic worlds are NOT open minded about sexuality or gender identity. You just know these activists never spent one minute researching LGBTQ+ rights in the Middle East on Google. Which they could easily have done. However, they are so brainwashed they don't think there is any need to do any research. Harvey Milk, Marsha P. Johnson, Silvia Rivera, Frank Kameny, Larry Kramer, and James Baldwin would be furious if they were alive today and read this post.

Ritchie Torres This is what happens when you don't read beyond a tweet or a TikTok video. The chasm that presents itself and the lack of knowledge is just absolutely stunning. This is the best example I think of the supposed pro Palestinian supporters who have absolutely no business being a supporter, if they are LGBTQ. Plain and simple. They are not welcome by Hamas. Now Israel on the other hand is an all inclusive society. All people are welcome. Gay, straight, Israeli, Druze, Christian, Muslims, Jews, white, Black, Brown. It cannot be clearer than that.

The term "useful idiots" appeared dozens of years ago to describe such people in the West - unfortunately, it's an old phenomenon of the Left. Thank the Soviets who mastered this political weapon for dozens of years starting in the mid-1960-s...

The draw of the pro-Hamas protests is coming from the worst character traits: 1. bullying people, forcing people and authorities to listen to you or be hurt, 2. envy, and 3. feeling morally superior and virtue signaling that moral superiority. They have to pretend to themselves that Jews are the devil but it feeds all the worst parts of them. People of low character get such a high from this that they don’t think about the consequences for themselves. Like smoking and illegal drugs.

Ritchie Torres As Dr. King famously said, there is nothing so dangerous as sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
