Reading Response 3.21

After reading the LGBTQ Bill of Rights, I was intrigued to find out that the Tel Aviv Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, Transgender and Queer youth center. The parade ended purposefully at the front gates of the Knesset (Israel's Parliament). It is very interesting that there exists discrimination and inequality in numerous aspects of the community in Israel. Attempting to address the community's demands is very critical in eliminating the inequality. The fact that the legal rights of same-sex couples today only exist due to "holes" in Israeli laws, must be very frustrating to same sex couples. "A hate  crime is different from other types of crimes as it is a social crime." I find that in Israels attempt to eliminate discrimination of the LGBTQ community there is some sense of hyprocracy in the fact that the hate crimes against Palestinians are not being suppressed. The Right to Protection of Hate section of the LGBTQ Bill of Rights, is also another amendment that seems to not apply to the Israelis in respect to the occupation of Palestinians.
