Anti-LGBTQ Violence Hits Record High in Israel

Monday, May 18, 2026

LGBTQ hatred in Israel is sky-rocketing. Online abuse is increasingly spilling into public spaces and turning into physical attacks, some of them allegedly carried out by organized groups. LGBTQ Israelis have been ambushed in dating app traps and at least one physical assault against an LGBTQ person occurs in Israel every week.

"The motive is a pure hate crime against men attracted to men."

This disturbing phenomenon was described as "unprecedented" in Israel.

"Physical attacks accounted for half of all reported public-space incidents this year against LGBTQ people, a sharp rise from 32% in the previous report. Cases of extortion and threats also climbed dramatically, from 3% of reports last year to 13.5% this year.

The most striking fact: violence has become part of everyday life for many members of the LGBTQ community."

Examples of Israeli and Arab Partners

For LGBTQ people, Israel has become the exact bipolar opposite of the Big Apple.

Earlier this year, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) established the city's first-ever Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs.

The Likud opposition knew if Benjamin Netanyahu won, there would be an increase in Arab land grabbing and homophobia because of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. He is not a good human being.

The opposition may not have expected the scale of anti-LGBTQ behavior, or even the persecution of Christians, but intolerance is intolerance.

I can't believe the fascist government is targeting homosexuals.
That's never happened before in the history of fascism.

The constant berating and belittling of LGBTQ+ communities allow the people prone to violence to commit violence on them.

When "news" outlets call them sickos.

When politicians regurgitate "they are molesting children" over and over.

When pastors and priests preach death to them.
