In recent events, a series of protests in the UK have sparked controversy due to their content and participants. A notable group, 'Queers for Palestine,' was reported chanting slogans in support of the Houthis, including phrases like 'Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around.' This comes amidst reports that the Houthi group in Yemen is planning to execute nine men for alleged sodomy, sentencing them to death by 'crucifixion and stoning' for being gay. The chants have raised concerns about the endorsement of groups known for their anti-Semitic and homophobic actions. Various individuals and groups have expressed outrage, pointing out the irony and calling for wider condemnation of these actions. The Metropolitan Police have been tagged in social media posts, questioning their response to these public demonstrations, with a particular focus on a Muslim family leading chants.

Dear Queers for Palestine. You’re quick to condemn Israel, a democracy with gay rights. Will you be condemning barbaric scumbags that crucify homosexuals? There was vocal support on today’s hate marches for the Houthis and Hamas. Where is your condemnation? Just for the Jews! https://t.co/XYPax8Iw6H

Disgusting. “Yemen Yemen make us proud turn another ship around” An indoctrinated child glorifying the acts of Houthi terrorists, the same terrorists who recently sentenced 9 gay men to death. More people need to see how multiculturalism has failed. https://t.co/63U2KFGhwP

9 men were sentenced to death by 'crucifixion and stoning' for alleged sodomy by Houthi court. I wonder if “progressive” useful idiots in the West who chant “Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around” will condemn this at their next march? Of course not “cus Israel”.
