Meanwhile Palestine has refused LGBTQ stating it's not something they believe in . In the same breath MSN ARE complicit in supporting (whilst ignoring) Tlaib and Omars wish to visit Palestine to further enrage and engage a war with Israel. MSM ARE useless at giving factual info.

After Palestinian Authority bans queer group, Rep. Ilhan Omar tweets 'LGBTQ rights are human rights'Omar clarified that 'pretending that this act somehow balances or mitigates Israel violating the dignity and rights of Palestinians—or undermines cases for defending Palestinian rights—is deplorable.'
