If I were in Gaza rn I’d be killed by an Israeli bomb actually. Glad we could clear that up

say that to the 73,000 dead palestinians and the cluster bombs shaped like toys.

beirut literally has an open lgbtq scene. i’m not saying it’s great everywhere, obviously there’s a more abrahamic interpretation of lgbtq, but saying people are getting stoned is deceptive. yes the western world is a leader in lgbtq rights, but it hasnt always been like that. the us didn’t even legalize same sex marriage until 2015, and same sex relations were illegal in some states until 2003. the stonewall riots happened less than 60 years ago as well

Yeah and if we are pulling up timelines, Jordan decriminalized gay sex in the West Bank in 1951 while it wasn’t decriminalized in Israel until 1988. Like shit is more complicated than what #6’s narrative is trying to push.

even now the right wing is attacking transgender people and trying ti take the countrh backwards in lgbtq rights. there’s been some pretty alarming things said by this administration. if you want to support lgbtq people, support their right to exist everywhere instead of using the middle east as some kind of gotcha, as if it justifies bombing and occupying their land

And the Palestinian organizations actually focusing on trying to help the situation of gay people in the West Bank like Al Qaws explicitly condemn Israel trying to use this to push their colonization. And the IDF will blackmail gay Palestinians to turn them into informants.

yeah they’re clearly trying to argue in bad faith. so sick of these inauthentic strawman arguments they use to try and justify dehumanization. i didn’t know jordan did that but i’m glad to learn they did

In a lot of ways when Israel-supporters try to do this it actually worsens the situation for queer people in Palestine. Because gay rights being held up as an Israeli value and being used as a tool to justify Israel’s actions means people in Palestine will start seeing queer people as being likely Israeli informants or agents.
