If your excuse to be anti Palestine is bc they “have bad queer rights” your a goddamn idiot lmao. Like free Palestine is queer liberation. Free Palestine is disability justice. It’s anti racist. There are queer Palestinians and disabled Palestinians and christian Palestinians and jewish Palestinians and muslim Palestinians and atheist Palestinians and all of them are being targeted by genocide the same. If your idea of community ends at a nations border you’re fucking awful at community.

“there are palestinians who aren’t homophobic” = “there are israelis who aren’t islamophobic” address governments based on governments’ actions; don’t conflate people with nations

You want homophobia to be over? You want universal queer rights? You stand with Palestine because those are your brothers and sisters and siblings. You stand with Palestine because corrupt and harmful systems can be fixed and replaced. Like honestly you shouldn’t NEED a reason beyond “oh, fellow humans are being slaughtered in cruel and painful ways N’s that is bad”

“Bad queer rights” is a fucking stupid ass excuse, just because a country has bad queer rights doesn’t mean every individual in that country agrees with that, and even so, someone not supporting LGBTQ does NOT mean they deserve to be victimized by war/die?? Idk how someone could legitimately think this is a valid or ok excuse in any way

Yeah, and the Palestinian government or leadership is homophobic and otherwise contributes to the oppression of the Palestinian people, which is something that is often overlooked by people who are Pro-Palestinian.

The queer folks in Palestine are dying more from Israeli attacks than from beheadings. No one is condoning the homophobia there, but the genocide also needs to stop.
