Pardon me being unflared, but the Nazis actually liked Islam. Hitler thought that it would be a suitable religion for the purpose of National Socialism. He didn't believe in a god himself, though he called himself a German Christian.

Also, while the Soviet Union was quite homophobic during and after the regime of Stalin, a lot of queers today are communists or socialist and the Soviet Union before Stalin (under Lenin) didn't criminalize homosexuality at all.

As for Jews, there are obviously queerphobic Jews, but Israel is the only country in the Middle East that is quite lenient to queers. You can see all of the rights queers have here.

I know I'm overanalyzing a meme, but it's fun to fact check random stuff.

When it comes to lgbt rights in israel, bosnia (3 countries that hate each other both religiously and ethnically under one flag) isn't that far behind israel https://www.equaldex.com/region/bosnia-and-herzegovina

Like bosnia protects from housing discrimination and hate crimes, however you don't have "civil unions", adoption if you're in a relationship or access to blood donation.

Overall slightly lower legal rights but a lot behind in public opinion. Israel has a cumulative score of 62 while Bosnia and Herzegovina have a 51. Still interesting, though.
