    For those out of the loop, Gaza still persecutes lgbtq people, up to 10 years in jail per “incident” of having queer sex.

    Theres also been a few vigilante murders of lgbtq people.

    Just because they massacred 1200 people and started a war they couldnt finish does not mean that theyre nice people.

      The meme is about generalising and grouping all Gazans under the same labels to justify the genocide. It’s racist and covers up their struggle.

      There LGBTQ Gazans, there are handicapped Gazans, there are racist Gazans, there are homophobic Gazans, there are straight Gazans, etc.

      They’re human beings with their flaws and qualities, and regardless of their views, they shouldn’t endure whatever the fuck Israel is doing to them. Nobody should, ever.

        Yes, I think we shouldnt kill 7 million Jews. Apparently that makes me a sociopath according to a rando on lemmy

          Nobody is talking about killing 7 million Jews. Your hypothetical feelings of victimhood is being used to justify an actual genocide.

            What do you think happens to the people of Israel if they simply give up?

            Hint: Gaza is 99% Sunni Muslim for a reason.

              I’d like to jump in and ask a genuine counter question:

              • What do you believe is the cause of Hamas’ existence?

                  Or maybe it’s the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 by Europeans and the subsequent 76 years of colonial apartheid and brutality.

                  Hamas is literally an Arabic acronym for “the party of resistance”
