I wonder if she deems Israel morally superior because it is more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community:
"When used in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
the word “pinkwashing” refers to Israel’s putatively dishonest abuse of
its sterling record on LGBT human rights to conceal or “whitewash” its
struggles with the Palestinians. Alleged to constitute an invidious “cover
up”, pinkwashing actually represents a term of art deployed to deceive
and fabricate fallacious arguments about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It comprises part of the larger strategy of delegitimization of Israel by the
Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to iso-
late, de-normalize and, eventually, extirpate Israel as a democratic Jewish
State. Despite the deceptive misuse of this term in this context, however, the
word originated in other loci where it had different—as well as politically
legitimate and rhetorically lucid—meanings"
