    A way to try to discourage leftist criticism of Israel’s actions is to appeal to Israel being the only country in the middle east that somewhat recognises queer people and their rights.

      That should only work on people capable of a single thought.

      I want Israel to fuck off and pay for their crimes.

      I want LGBTQ rights everywhere, and those that impede them should be deposed and, depending on their actions, charged with crimes.

      If the current leaders of Gaza do not respect the rights of all humans, they should be removed. This has nothing to do with the ongoing invasion and bombings from Israel, they are separate thoughts.

        Does that include Gaza?

          Why wouldn’t it?

          Human rights exist everywhere, and I decry anyone who opposes that.

          This is accomplished through reasonable, legal process. Not bombs.

              I’m taking about Palestinians governing themselves, same as any other place.

              Im not saying anywhere deserves to be bombed over this, I’m saying (and your seem to have missed it) that the invasion and the LGBTQ rights issues are entirely separate, and should be handled separately.

              Israel has nothing to do with it
