Don't forget they openly root for Hamas, which will do way worse than just kill people for being queer.
ok but do you condemn the idf
Yes. See, that wasn't hard, was it?
Well I'd be concerned if you didn't condemn the force committing genocide and blaming it on freedom fighters while feeding the gullible western liberals straight propaganda.
And I'd be concerned if you didn't condemn the religious zealots who would hunt and exterminate any LGBT people in Gaza.
Do you think there's no existing queer people in Palestine?
Yeah that's not what I said.
Then i can only infer you're infantilizing palestinian queer people. The idf is not giving them a choice. Hamas at least fights for their right to live in their own territory.
So Hamas is ideologically perfect and cannot be criticized in your eyes?
Also, Hamas is explicitly not fighting for queer rights. This is an objectively false statement, though I will openly embrace evidence to the contrary.
"Yeah that's not what I said." Do you understand what the 'critical' in 'critical support' means?
"Yeah that's not what I said."
I know Hamas is not explicitly fighting for queer rights, they're fighting for the lives of all Palestinian people. They are explicitly freedom fighters.
On the other hand, the IDF is indescriminately killing any and all Palestinian people, queer or otherwise.
Why do you libs think queer people can't come to their own conclusions about this?
Why do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a lib? Where I stand, being a leftist means finding both imperialism and religious zealotry abhorrent. But maybe I just didn't get the newsletter this month.
Believing philosophy is a zero sum game is really just lazy.
If it walks like a lib...
