It's wild to me how many of these comments are appealing to local law without any thought to what is just.
If the local law was to deny all women or some ethnic group access to communication, the world should do it without question?
- Workaccount2 1y ago>If the local law was to deny all women Palestine gets widespread support
- jonah 1y agoIn that case, they're probably the lesser of two evils. Women can't campaign for more rights if they're dead...
- evilkorn 1y agoThat is sort of the way I see it. It's a leap to ask for gay or women's rights before the county has the right to not be bombed.
- foxglacier 1y agoIt's a leap even without being bombed. Asking for gay or women's rights is asking for reform or elimination of Islam. Leftists never seem to want that, I think because they see Muslims as an oppressed group that should be supported, not have their identity taken away from them.
- arczyx 1y agoDo you have an objective source about what law in Palestine denying access to all women?
- Rover222 1y agoQueers for Palestine is so hard to wrap my head around.
- arczyx 1y agoit's not hard to understand. people simply not liking queers doesn't mean they deserve to be bombed. also there are queers in Palestine and they are getting bombed too by Israel
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y ago'not liking' you mean actively hunting down and murdering on a consistent basis. https://www.queermajority.com/essays-all/queers-for-palestine-and-the-death-of-irony https://www.queermajority.com/essays-all/queers-for-palestin...
- arczyx 1y ago> actively hunting down and murdering on a consistent basis There's only one man being killed in the article you linked, and his killing is way more complex that the article made it to be. https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/g-s1-17637/hebron-west-bank-israel-asylum-ahmad-abu-markhiya https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/g-s1-17637/hebron-west-bank-i... Pretty sure that's not enough evidence for 'actively hunting down and murdering on a consistent basis'. On the other hand, Israel had probably killed tens if not hundreds or thousands of queers in Gaza as of now. That surely count for 'murdering on a consistent basis'.
- tqi 1y ago> Israel had probably killed tens if not hundreds or thousands of queers in Gaza as of now When you pull easily google-able numbers out of thin air, you undermine the credibility of your overall point: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/7/two-years-of-israels-genocide-in-gaza-by-the-numbers https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/7/two-years-of-israel...
- Jtsummers 1y agoThat doesn't undermine their statement at all. They wrote hundreds or thousands, perhaps you misread it as hundreds of thousands? 67,000 killed per your link, assuming only 1% were LGBTQ, means around 670 LGBTQ people killed, which falls well within the standard definition of "hundreds". Even if they only make up 0.5% of the population, it's still hundreds. And to hit "tens" they only need to be about 0.1% of the Gazan population.
- maccard 1y agoWhether or not you like it, that's how international relations works. The US famously has gripes with Cuba, Iran, HK, Afghanistan and others, that affect those countries unfairly. If another country decides to side with Iran, they'll find themselves on the US sanction list. So is it more just to deny the people of your country access to trade and interaction with the US?
- charcircuit 1y agoYes, if they are operating within that region, then they should be following local laws. Allowing companies to break laws they don't agree with is a bad precedent to set.
