Hahahahaha, because Hamas/Palestians and basically every Muslim country treats LGBTQ people so well....
I challenge these Pride organisations to go run a Pride Parade pretty kuch anywhere in the Middle East except Israel and see what happens.
Dear lemmy, is genocide still a bad if some of the people being genocided don’t like me?
Some genocide, where the supposed aggressor takes care to try their best to move the target population out of harms way despite the fact that their actual militarised enemies deeply embed within the population, and the population grows enormously over the course of the decades of the supposed genocide.
If it is a genocide, someone needs to tell Israel they are doing it wrong.
Yes, because never in the course of any war throughout history have innocent bystanders been hit by accident.
Israel has enough firepower that if they were committing a genocide Gaza would have been a literal pile of rubble decades ago.
Reminder that for the recent world central kitchen incident it was three separate precision drone strikes on three different cars spaced hundreds of meters apart. The cars were clearly marked and the route was coordinated in advance with the idf

You can be against Israel's actions while also being against Islam and middle east's treatment of LGBT folks.
Of course, but you can't fight everyone.
Choosing your battles and focusing your efforts wisely can generally accomplish more.
We should just agree to pick one geopolitically unpopular genocide and oppose it real firmly, and let the others slide. Makes sense.
Okay, I choose the one that is bribing our government and carrying out genocide, Not the ones starving to death and getting bombed out of existence then.
Clearly some can, and it's a group large enough to make it to the headline
By that logic I should be happy that Saudi Arabia executes women as Saudi Arabians would likely think I'm sinful at best and deserve executing at worst. See how fucking stupid that is?
Oh look, genocide apologists are here!
Sorry, I actually have respect for the word genocide and only use it when appropriate.
What's happening in Gaza isn't it.
