We speak with journalists Steven Thrasher and Afeef Nessouli about their new report for _The Intercept_, which examines how queer, HIV-positive Palestinians are struggling to survive in Gaza with limited access to medication due to Israel's siege and ongoing attacks on the territory. The report centers on E.S., a young Palestinian man who is HIV-positive and who has been in "a race against time," says Nessouli. "The genocide is making it impossible to get medication to people like E.S.," adds Thrasher.

What more must happen to stop this cruelty
they are human being and their life matter and has value
Did 1000 Israeli lives matter to Palestinians on October 7th?
This is why we have been right to call out DNC Liberals for their anti-LGBTQ genocide policies in Gaza.
Hamas has a nasty habit of executing homosexuals, most Muslim majority countries do.
Must Palestinians think gays are not human
How DARE THEY! THEY NEED THEIR MEDS, YOU MONSTERS! WE MUST STOP THIS WAR IMMEDIATELY!!
Hamas has a nasty habit of executing homosexuals, most Muslim majority countries do.
Y? They voted for hamas 😂
This story is so heartbreaking 😢 thank you for bringing it to our attention as only Democracy Now can 🎉❤
❤❤❤
😂 Queers for palestine 😂
so sad to listen too . I hope help is given soon .
TY Amy for touching on this topic. i was in USN 78-81. I am. a Trans Woman have not been infected Thank GAWD. Lost 2 lovers to it though. When I stepped foot in Gaza in 1980 went to several Cafes. Palestinian people are wonderful no matter your Gender they accept you. Most indigenous people accept people for who they are.
Thank you Democracy Now!!!
🇵🇱✌🇵🇸
I read the article. It was heartbreaking.
Can you please provide resources on how we can help if possible? Can we send him meds? or donate to an AIDS resource that can help him?
Yes, please provide a list of pro-LGBTQ agencies in Gaza, so we can support them😊
We don't really call it AIDS anymore, we refer to the virus that can result in AIDS if it goes untreated. We generally talk about HIV. Please rather refer to it as HIV, some of us lost close friends to AIDS who didnt get treatment on time. It's kinda re-traumatising.
My ❤ goes out to all those in dire need of med aid. And the rest
Please let this case dire succeed
❤❤❤❤
Y'all should provide a link to the article in your description
Thank you Democracy Now for this coverage.
Thank you Intercept and Aleef Nessouli.
Also thank you Steven Thrasher.
Keep all innocent with no choice or say safe from all warmongers
Big respect 🙏
Big respect Amy
Every time you think they couldn’t be more cruel they still surprise us🫂🥺✌🏼
Hamas has a nasty habit of executing homosexuals, most Muslim majority countries do.
He was in America in college 2011 became HIV...He went back home to Gaza to be with family and receiving Medication for almost 14 years... now war is risking his life with out access to basic healthcare...Hopefully they raise the funds needed to get him his medication.
thank you so much for covering this
From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!
God creates all including people who were born.
Creation of polio and enforced vaccines was enough to raise a red flag.
So now even if they survive an initial shell, they may become pozzed from blood fragments. Great
🙏🏽 God bless.
What are all the adult kids of billionaires & multi-millionaires up to? I wonder how much it would cost to rent (or purchase) a retired ocean cruise ship, or decommissioned oil tanker, or connex cargo ship. Meet up with an elected ambasador of your origin nation. Travel with friendly accompanying ships. Entourage of people who the world would spit nails if anything happen to. Travel with nation flag flying, maybe also monitiored by satellite &
live feed. Announce your time of arrival and welcome Non Combatant Gazan Children, Women, Elderly, Ill & Disabled to seek refuge from war.
That would actually help zionists to reach their goal.
Bad idea. You would actually help israel with depopulating palestine.
They're suffering by being misgendered by overworked and underpaid wage slaves in the service industry. Have a heart
Israel is far more likely to help him than his own community

Talk about living life on hard mode

Pinkeashing ?
Palestinians gays in droves move to Israel since it’s impossible to live in Gaza.
Incredible honophobia in Gaza.
Hamas even killed one of their top leaders
b c they suspected he was gay.
Amy, are you serious?
She's paid to tell lies.
A quick search on LGBTQ rights in Gaza will give you the true story easily.
Are you?
She's very questionable, especially when she talks about Russia and Ukraine shows where she truly stands. He's Palestine and Human what the f his sexual orientation has to do with anything, it like here in the U.S where my Fellow African Americans will side with LGBT over their race. Gotta push the agenda anywhere and any how. Good way to fragment people. Western madness
Queer in Gaza! He doesn’t have long. Hopefully he can claim refugee status in Israel.
Harsh
Don’t be fooled by Klobashar. She slick but she ain’t that slick in how she times things and narrates. She’s horrible. This is why I stopped listening to DemocracyNow and try to stay away from any far left leaning and any far right leaning news sources. They’re both horrible both are horrible. I stay middle moderate, middle of the road.
Democracy Now isn't far left by any means, they _are_ the middle. It's just that there is no actual political left wing in the US, that's how far to the right you guys shifted over time. You voted for a carbon copy of hitler, after all. For the second time.
You guys just voted for a carbon copy of hitler. For the second time. There is nothing remotely left wing in the US media landscape, Democracy Now is just the last remnant of moderate centrist news.
How far on the right are you that you think democracy now is far left?
You got the wrong Amy, troll.
@@UnfollowYourDreams neither. Both far left and right are bad
Queer and Gaza in the same sentence??? Stop with the lies please 😂😂
Every human population have the same % of queer people. Gaza is not some magic exception
It's Hamas he should be worried about, not the Israelis
Why only hamas?
😂 what HAMAS has to do with....
Prat!
Troll
I bet Is ra èl has taken the lives of hundreds or thousands part of of the queer community since October 2023, they survived H they don't know if they will survive is ra èl.
my guy have you ever heard of a romance scam?
LOL Afeef got scamed and run to amy goodman to spread fake disinformation.
this is soooo weird that anyone would actually believe that a queer dude can live in gaza and chose to go to gaza...people have no sense and amy goodman should go to prison for spreading hateful disinformation and Palestinian fetish.
Horrifying and i've heard in prison it's incredibly hard in the US to get meds. I couldn't get a tylenol so I hope they heal b/c this seems like a war crime. It all does to someone who isn't an expert and from what I hear, experts as well.
Hamas has been a disaster.
