The Dyke Project took the action in response to what it calls “Israeli pinkwashing” and says that the Israeli government is using LGBTQ+ rights to legitimize violence against the Palestinian people. “We wanted to share the voices of queer Palestinians to remind our community that none of us are free until all of us are,” explains Jess Elliott from the Dyke Project. “We will not let our struggle be used to distract from the violent genocide of others.”⁠ ⁠ All the ads are accompanied by a message of solidarity: “The Queer community stands with Palestine. We call for an end to the occupation and an end to the British funding and arming of Israel's military.”」10月31日 1時01分
