Needs a bit of context

An LGBTQ+ group in Kalamazoo is objecting to people wearing the Star of David because.... apparently of the trauma from Israeli military actions.

OK as far as it goes, but in most of Israel's neighbors, being homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual is grounds for being brutally murdered by being thrown off a roof and the like.  So we might infer that among the things LGBTQ+ people have to fear around Israel, the Israeli Army is the least of their worries.

We might also infer that for a lot of LGBTQ+ groups, a general progressive agenda (and not offending Muslims) are more important than the actual rights of LGBTQ+ people, which are (ahem) well protected in Israel.
