When the Concentration camps were "liberated" the gay prisoners were just moved to other prisons. When some of the men tried to remove their shirts with the distinctive pink triangle logo identifying them as gay, the Jewish prisoners sold them out anyway to ensure they weren't released

Israel and the IDF lean heavily into that narrative. Pinkwashing helps convince a western audience that their government is "liberal and democratic" by centering LGBTQ rights, to distract from denying rights to and committing genocidal violence against Palestinians.
