Queers for Palestine Burn American and Israeli Flags on Memorial Day

In a controversial Memorial Day protest in Florida, Queers for Palestine activists set fire to American and Israeli flags. They declared, “Today we burn this flag in all its glory for the false promises our country has given us.” This act has sparked outrage as these activists claim to support LGBTQ rights, yet align with groups like Hamas that have a history of persecuting LGBTQ individuals. The demonstration raises questions about the intersection of activism and the values purportedly represented.
