According to Aguda, approximately 300 Palestinian gays have fled to Israel. Most are between 14 and 22 years of age. They tend to be unskilled and don't speak Hebrew or any other foreign language. Many arrive with just the clothes on their back, says Shaol Gannon. "It's not like they committed a crime in the Occupied Territories and are trying to escape punishment here in Israel. Their only crime is that they want to live."

If they are fleeing because they are gay, and homosexuality is illegal under Palestinian law, doesn't it then follow that they have commited a crime?
