Qween Jean, a radical transgender activist, accused officials supporting Israel of being the “real terrorists” in the Gaza conflict, criticizing them for not caving to Hamas’s demands.
Jean co-founded Black Trans Liberation and advocates for ending homelessness in the trans community.
“We are sick and tired of being told and reminded of the events of October 7,” Jean said.

The activist called out prominent New York officials as “terrorists” for their stance on the conflict.
“The reality is the people who are the real terrorists are sitting in office right now,” Jean said. “The people who are the terrorists are the ones who have watched the genocide go on and on and on, and all they [expletive] do is they eat ice cream when they are asked about… the starving children in Gaza.”
“There is no excuse!” Jean said. “We will not stop until Palestine is free.”
“We are never ashamed or afraid to say, ‘Free Palestine,’” Jean added.
Former President Trump’s Mideast envoy criticized those supporting Palestinians, while others condemned Jean’s views.
Jean “should be sent on a one-way trip to Gaza,” activist Avi Kaner wrote.
“All the Arab world needed was one more populist praising terrorism,” journalist Hussain Abdul-Hussain wrote.
Hamas’s persecution of LGBTQ individuals and strict policies were highlighted, along with past violent incidents.
“So many black and brown indigenous community members are often left out,” Jean said. “They are often neglected, left out, unhoused, without any food, without medication, without medical care, without mental health access. And so we’re here with the message because we believe that black lives matter.”
“We want to let the patrons know that you cannot ignore us any longer,” Jean added.
