Abu Ali Express reports that Hamas political leader Mahmoud Zahar has used a derogatory Arabic equivalent of "gay" to insult Arab nations that have made peace with Israel.
In recent days, al-Zahar has led ceremonies in #Gaza on behalf of Hamas to mark the second anniversary of the assassination of Qasem Soleimani.
In one of these ceremonies, al-Zahar gave a speech in which he used the word "شواذ" (Shawath), a derogatory term in the Arabic language for homosexuals, to describe those who were happy with the assassination of Soleimani. According to him, these "Arab Zionists" are the same "gays of the Arab Ummah" who normalized relations with Israel.
"Shawath" literally means "deviant."
This is not the first time a prominent Palestinian has used that term as an insult.
In 2019, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri who is head of the Supreme Islamic Council and the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, said that some of the buildings that Jews are buying in Jerusalem from Arabs are sold by “rogue homosexuals and the owners of sick and malicious souls.”
