Exactly. HAMAS would kill me. Ordinary Palestinian people would likely be warm and welcoming, at least, if they weren't being systematically eradicated at the moment. 😒

todoscojones.bsky.social•212 days ago

I'm offended by the assumption that my support for the victims of oppression should be transactional.

dewind.bsky.social•211 days ago

Sounds like people projecting their own hate onto their enemies.

nyebodnye.bsky.social•212 days ago

Said it before and I'll say it again. Yet-an-yahoo is using violence to do a land grab. Not just in Palestine, now in Lebanon and Syria. Same thing Russia is doing to Ukraine, only Ukraine is fighting back

phoebexavier.bsky.social•212 days ago

Hamas was elected into power by those ppl tho. I don't think that's a reason to slaughter them, but homophobia is intrinsic in a lot of Muslim cultures.

voxnational.bsky.social•211 days ago

Homophobia is intrinsic to the world, because we're a primitive species.

Celebrating Genocide because you think some people deserve it isn't supporting LGBTQ people it's just racism.

phoebexavier.bsky.social•211 days ago

I am not responding to anyone here who only responded to one part of this and ignored that I said I don't think that's a reason to slaughter them. Cool strawman but learn to read FFS.

patricktm.bsky.social•211 days ago

That's because Muslims follow the Abrahamic homophobic God just as Christians do.

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•211 days ago

One last thing, I blame the similarity based on religion due to the GOAT fucking Shepards who wrote the stories in the first place

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•211 days ago

And just to be clear, as to religion and sexuality it's basically the 3 based on the old testament that have an issue
Hinduism actually supports homosexuality
Numerous Hindu texts have portrayed homosexual experience as natural and joyful, the Kamasutra affirms and recognises same-sex relations.

xpressmgnt.bsky.social•211 days ago

Homophobia is intrinsi in all Jedeo Christain religions.
Also part of all authoritarian governments.
So what point is it you're trying to make?

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•211 days ago

that’s not true and even if it was collective punishment is a war crime.

as for homophobia. again: even if that’s true it doesn’t mean ppl should be murdered.

look at how homophobic and transphobic america is.

scoutishere007.bsky.social•134 days ago

But you still think homophobia is bad right?
Because I barely see any lgbtq person celebrating, supporting or justifying homophobes (I've seen a couple but forget them)

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•134 days ago

yes. homophobia is disgusting.

Hamas was elected into power 18 years ago weirdos

logicalluminary.bsky.social•212 days ago

Over 50% of the population of Gaza prior to the Oct 7 attack was under the age of 18

Hamas was “elected” in 2006 with less than 50% of the popular vote

That means the vast majority of Palestinians did not in fact elect them into power, even 18 years ago…

canuckaussie.bsky.social•212 days ago

And 80% supported the October 7 terrorist attack that started the war (as HAMAS was hoping for)

carmelostar.bsky.social•212 days ago

Yup. And the only reason why average citizens would want to kill us is because their family and friends are killed by our war machine and they turn into terrorists against the west.

ljamesbond007.bsky.social•211 days ago

Good point!

atheist-pizza.bsky.social•212 days ago

People in the Arab world outside of Palestine have been using that issue to gain and wield political power for 100 years. Also many in the USA. People have to keep that in mind and the effects its had on the situation.

bendertheatheist.bsky.social•212 days ago

I disagree with the part that they all would kill you. However, they would likely not care if I was to be killed because of my atheism and would likely not protest. But this is just religious indoctrination and fear of retribution from the extremists. No reason to support genocide

anymouse.bsky.social•211 days ago

I was threatened on this very site by a Christian who told me I should be killed for being an atheist. He doubled down by stating where I lived. I turned that over to the FBI.

anymouse.bsky.social•211 days ago

Christians from outside my town tried to burn down my house with my wife and me in it. The sheriff's department found them, but the prosecutor said he would not bring charges because he thought he could not find a jury who wouldn't throw the case.

All because I ran for office.

logicalluminary.bsky.social•212 days ago

Also, I am capable and willing to care about the well being of others even if they hate me personally and want me dead

engineersthoughts.bsky.social•211 days ago

I think as westerners we have no place stating what the Palestinian people want, just like Ukrainians. We need to listen to them and take Palestinians or Ukrainians at their word for what they support and want.

stubronstein.bsky.social•211 days ago

Agreed. It's absolutely racist to make assumptions about someone based on their race or religion. And that's exactly what that phrase does - essentially saying all Palestinian people are terrorists. They're not. Not at all.

emllik13.bsky.social•211 days ago

I support the people on both side I don’t support the governments or the people in power that are killing people
