According to leftist gay [judging by this piece, she obviously cares much more about leftism than about gay rights] activist Sarah Schulman, it’s the following: “Last year, the Israeli news site Ynet reported that the Tel Aviv tourism board had begun a campaign of around $90 million to brand the city as ‘an international gay vacation destination.'”
I kid you not. Schulman, it should be said, is making something of a hobby of being a leading member of what has to be the rather small club of “Jewish lesbians for Palestine.” Here’s a short (and dishonest) video of her attacking Israel as “unprogressive.”
Professor Schulman, if you happen to read this, I have an offer for you: I will pay for your ticket to Israel and accommodations, if you will agree to live among your “progressive” allies as an openly gay Jewish woman in Gaza for one month. But my offer is a bit disingenuous, because it’s very unlikely that I would need to pay out for more than a one-way ticket, and a few days of accommodations.
