Sara Ramirez Instagram – Queer and Trans people have a rich history of resisting oppressive systems and therefore there is no home for z*onism in our communities.
The same system and racist ideology which is responsible for 76 years of ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide.
Today queer and trans Palestinians continue to be weaponized as national organizations and pride events shamefully participate in the upholding of genocide by way of:
-Accepting funds from weapons manufacturers and companies who actively fund israel’s crimes
-Centering racist and homo/transphobic figures who partner with z*onist organizations like the ADL which actively work to harm Palestinians
-Inviting politicians who accept funding from z*onist lobbying orgs like AIPAC
And so much more.
I have been in so many spaces and marches and encampments and online and everywhere I go Queer and Trans people are on the frontlines of this movement. To the Queer and Trans community: continue to rise up as you have been this pride – against genocide and against z*onism.
Accomplices of queer and trans communities who are in solidarity with Palestinians – we need you this Pride because Queer and Trans Palestinians are being weaponized to fund genocide and settler colonialism. They are trying it. To the extent that the FBI has released a memo warning the public of Palestine solidarity during Pride. Implying that our resistance to a z*onist pride is homo/transphobic. That the protests would be seen as acts of “t*rror”. And therefore we need you to amplify and center QT Palestinians as we are holding this down.
Israel’s US funded and supplied bombs don’t discriminate as thousands of Palestinians of all genders and sexualities continue to be massacred. The biggest threat to us has always been and will always be z*onism.
We protect each other ❤️
