    Hang on hang on hang on. Is this cartoonist saying that lgbt people ought to want extermination of people who don't support us (just taking at face their stance that there are no lgbt supporters in Palestine)?

    Isn't this like... what they're terrified of?

      Conservatives neither understand solidarity nor critical support, thus they think we're hypocrites for it. The only time queer people get any semblance of support from right wingers is when they want to bludgeon another group with it.

        Obviously you should only want good things for somebody if you personally would immediately materially gain from it. I think that's fairly obvious, when I was taking my niece to the park yesterday another kid wanted the swing so I was like "little one, I think that kid wants a go. You should charge a small fee to vacate the swing".

      They're saying that Palestinians are dirty Muslims who hate queer people so it's okay to genocide them.

      On its face this person cannot conceptualize simply being against genocide. It should be simple enough to be like "Look, these people aren't It*lians, we can share the Earth with them."

      It's both. They believe we ought to want the extermination of people who don’t support us and they also believe we're stupid because we clearly don't want the extermination of people who don't support us. As far as they're concerned we are their natural enemies and too stupid to realize it, and so they're mocking us for not killing them.

      I know it's rhetorical but yeah. They (not so) secretly want to kill LGBTQ, or at least view them as inferior. It's just another indicator of weakness, to them, that LGBTQ protestors and allies don't abuse their position in the West to demand reigning death on people living in places the West has previously done nothing but reign death upon or destabilize, while fostering the least palatable organized resistance they could find. Still couldn't manage to find anyone worse than themselves though.

      Antisemitism is quickly becoming a zionist conspiracy, the damage being done by the west and zionists rabidly screaming that anything other than laying down and swallowing entire boots in one go is antisemitic

      The consequences of this will resonate for decades to come

    Palestinians respectfully bury their LGBTQ dead after they’ve been murdered by Israel?

    I literally go to a local business in town near me where the owners/whole staff is a Palestinian, Christian family. They know I'm trans, and the old man says to me "God loves all his children" and let's me know I'm always welcome.

    Bigots get the wall.

    this is so fucking bankrupt, all liberals have left is craven appeals to the most selfish and vain impulses. a complete surrender of the barest of humanist bases for the constitution of the liberal states

      Just a reminder: While libs are convincing people to give the finger to Gazans, back in 2014 Palestinians were giving advice to help contend with police brutality during the Ferguson protests.

    Yes, I want social progress in x country. No, I don't want to let them develop and be free from national oppression. Where do I think ideas come from? Well, clearly the colonized are naturally backward and it's the burden of the white man to bring them to civilization.

    So like, on this logic were putting all transphobes in camps right? If its okay to just murder people like that are we agreeing that they go to camps?
