Gay Israeli Soldier Proudly Displays LGBTQ Flag On Gaza Soil

A gay Israeli soldier recently unfurled an LGBTQ flag on Gaza soil – making good on a self-made vow to bring a rainbow pride flag into battle against Hamas.

The images began circulating online over the weekend as some social media users noted how the flag was a powerful statement considering how LGBTQ people are oppressed in the strip under Hamas rule.

Atzmoni told Insider late last month he hoped to display the pride flag on his tank and bring it to Palestinians.

“I remember as a child how important that flag was for me,” he told the outlet.
