Israeli government releases cartoon depicting Hamas murdering gay people

The Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry has released a cartoon that depicts gay people in Gaza being murdered by Hamas.

The cartoon, titled “Open your eyes about Gaza”, mocks foreign journalists who report on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
In it, a cartoon journalist reports, as terrorists fire rockets: “We are here in the center of Gaza, and as you can see, people here are trying to live quiet lives. There are no terrorists here, just ordinary people.

As a man standing in front of a pride flag is wrenched away screaming by Hamas, the reporter says: “There is no doubt that the Palestinian society here is liberal and pluralistic, and that Hamas allows everyone to live in dignity.”
A rifle is heard firing in the background as the gay man’s screams continue, and then suddenly stop.

Except what I saw was no cartoon, it was an exercise where they blew those tiny bodies to jumbles.
Stuff like this reminds me of that.

it's a problem in the entire Muslim world. But it'll get ignored, just as the misogyny gets ignored. Gays and women tossed to the side to further.....actually I'm not sure what it's furthering.
