On: Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics

I don't think we are in any kind of deep disagreement here on the facts.

* Gaza is a semi-autonomous area

* local government in Gaza is much less LGBT-friendly than Israel's government.

* Israel has no intention of changing Gaza's semi-autonomous status.

But again my question is: given the above, how would an Israeli victory, no matter how complete, improve things for LGBT Palestinians?

You're right, I think we agree on the facts.

Ah, I was confused why you asked this until I saw this is where the thread started (not by me).

No, you're right, an Israeli victory probably won't help improve things for LGBT Palestinians at all, unless Israel takes over Gaza entirely and starts running it according to more liberal laws. A very unlikely prospect.
