Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.
The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.
Meanwhile Israel remains the biggest killer of LGBTQ+ Palestinians.
Im not sure straight Palestinians are getting a pass.
When they murder 1700 LGBTQ+ people, then we can talk.
What?
This is the same Israeli court that has ruled against Netanyahu multiple times, and which he has been desperately trying to delegitimize for fear of eventually going to prison. What Israel is doing is terrible, and we also shouldn’t automatically dismiss progressive voices in Israel just because they are Israeli. There is a large percentage of Israel that does not support Netanyahu or the genocide he has undertaken
Source?
8% of the world’s population identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Israel has killed 21,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Assuming the same percentage, that is 1680 people who identified themselves as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
In the 20 years of Hamas rule, they have not killed 1680 people in Gaza for being gay.
This literally makes no sense at all.
Cool so source is “I am guessing”
Are you denying that Israel killed 21000 people?
Are you asserting that 8% of the population of Gaza is LGBT?
It’s a bad assumption. Anyone found to be gay in Gaza was already killed by their family or public stoning. The percentage there is going to be significantly lower than any average.
A huge deal was made one gay guy was killed for being gay last year. Its doubtful they were killing thousands or people would’ve similarly noticed.
It was a huge deal because he made it out of the west bank alive and was outspoken. Plenty more people that did not have such luck.
1700 killings? You got a source for that?
Well we know your numbers are made up, so I can’t source your imaginary numbers
21,000 dead is not made up.
Sadly, even with the most recent conflict, that’s almost certainly not true.

Israel has special visa/work permit/asylum process for LGBT Palestinians. I would bet there’s more gay and out Palestinians in Israel than there are in Palestine.
Gaza/Hamas are especially awful relative to the West Bank.
No, that would be the Palestinians. They will stone anyone discovered to be gay.
