Trump Mocks ‘Gays For Palestine’ With Rooftop Reality Check

At a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday night, President Donald Trump ridiculed pro-Palestinian activists who organize as Gays for Palestine. He asked whether they grasp how gay people are treated in that part of the world, said gay people there are thrown from buildings, and joked that the activists should be sent to negotiate since nobody would see them again, according to Daily Wire.

Daily Wire reports that the comments mirror a scene in its new film, Run Hide Fight: Infidels, where terrorists take over a pro-Palestinian encampment at a liberal college and a student who says he is gay is thrown off a roof while a classmate watches. The outlet notes that ISIS has killed men accused of homosexuality by pushing them from buildings in Iraq and Syria, and that Iran punishes same-sex activity with lashing and, in some cases, execution, according to the Human Dignity Trust.

Sa'ed Atshan, a Swarthmore College professor, told Them that homophobia exists in Palestinian society but is nearly universal, including in Israel and the United States, and that addressing it means confronting the broader denial of freedom to Palestinians.
