They're OUT To Lunch

Queers Against Israeli Apartheid won't be making an appearance at this year's Pride parade. Instead, the dykes and trannies have stepped up to fill the Zionhass "void" left by the QuAIA's non-presence.
Who are these D&Ters? On their facebook page they describe themselves as follows:

Dykes & Trans People for Palestine is a group that has come together this year to organize a Palestine Solidarity contingent for this year’s Dyke March. We recognize and speak out against Israeli Apartheid and the Israeli Occupation of Palestine. As queers, we recognize that homophobia exists in Israel, Palestine, and across all borders. But queer Palestinians face the additional challenge of l...iving under occupation, subject to Israeli state violence and control. There is no pride in apartheid...

Actually, there is plenty of Pride in "apartheid". Anyone who's ever seen the crowds at Tel Aviv pride festivities, an event attended by lots of liberated Arab LGBTers who wouldn't dare let it all hang out in, say, Gaza, when the sharia decreed penalty for gayness is death. But that's beside the point for those who never let the facts get in the way of their animus toward the world's only Jewish state, 'else how could they display their lefty bona fides? FYI, here's the info about tomorrow's protest:

MARCH WITH US AT THE (OFFICIAL) DYKE MARCH IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE!

We plan to march as a Palestine solidarity contingent at this year's official Dyke March. We will be using the term "Israeli Apartheid" in our signs, banners, and messaging. Our approach is one of peaceful non-violence and we ask anyone who wishes to march with us to respect this – we do not want confrontations with the police or any others present and we do not anticipate being arrested. We invite anyone who wishes to denounce Israeli Apartheid, to denounce censorship, and to stand in solidarity with queers in Palestine to join us. Our contingent will be gathering outside the 519 at 1:30 pm.

Although we respect those who wish to participate in the "Take Back the Dyke" event, we are a different group. We will not be boycotting the Dyke March. Rather we will be marching in protest, and in denunciation of the forces that have attempted to silence us. We will march in the Dyke March as many of us have done for many years – we will not be banned!

Who: Dykes and Trans People for Palestine (DTPP)

When: Saturday July 3, 2010 at 1:30 pm

There may be no pride in apartheid, but there are scads of dipsh*ts in DTPP.
