A friend came from a pride event:

Gays handing out free Palestine stickers. They are trained to walk away and ignore you if you try to talk to them.

(as in saying that pride is celebrated in Israel while gays are imprisoned or executed in many Muslim countries.)

"The Palestinian Authority and Hamas routinely torture human rights activists, women, LGBT persons, political opponents, so-called “collaborators,” and Palestinians who sell land to Jews, the non-governmental group UN Watch charged Thursday.

The Geneva-based human rights organization made its criticism in a major new report to the UN Committee Against Torture, which will meet next week for two days, on July 19-20, to consider Palestinian compliance with the UN convention against torture and other cruel forms of punishment. The UN panel published the submission on its website.

“Evidence continues to emerge of widespread torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees held in Palestinian custody in the West Bank and Gaza,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch."

protecting them. They were between the group and the crowd during the parade. It wasn't like that for any other group.
