Israel recognises gay marriage officially, being gay is strictly illegal in all Arab countries. Debate me if you want but if you had to choose any street corner in the middle east to announce your coming out publicly, you’d be a moron if you tried it anywhere other than Israel.
Don’t get me wrong I think Israel’s response is terrible, but it wouldn’t have happened at all without Hamas kidnapping or killing a whole lot of innocent civilians.
It wouldn’t have happened if Israel weren’t looking for an excuse to follow their myopic bloodlust.
