Nick Reed 05.08.24 - The Treatment of The LGBTQ Community in Some Areas of The Middle East

Hour 2 - 

Happy Wednesday! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

• The Springfield News-Leader wrote a story about rising antisemitism in Missouri. Instead of focusing on the attacks on Jewish students on campuses or the anti-Israel protests, they focus on "white supremacist propaganda and anti-LGBTQ sentiment."
• Nick pulls up several stories that show the treatment of the LGBTQ community in some areas of the Middle East.
• The militant group Hamas has controlled the Gaza Strip for 15 years, taking ownership of the land in less than three days. As a result, being part of the LGBT community in Gaza is a crime, and members are constantly at risk.
• The severed head and decapitated torso of a 25-year-old Palestinian were discovered on the side of a road in the occupied West Bank. Reports say that Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh was killed because he was an openly gay man. Reports also show that Murkhiyeh was attempting to reach asylum in... Israel.
