Questions From Readers
Don’t want this question to be taken into the politics implications of it (Israel vs. Palestine). But, what do you think of many liberals gays “Pro-Palestine”?
I can understand that for them, in their PoV, Israel is commiting a genocide. But the critique feels like blindfully downplaying Palestine aka Hamas on whatever the do, like the Oct. 7 attacks, and still keeping hostages. And no mention on the fact that these people will kill any LGBT folk if they have the change.
And related to this, I find it hilarious this recent idea from the Left, that being liberal and leftists, means supporting Islam. When Islam is against everything you say you fight for.
P.D.: I’m not in the Left or the Right wing. I consider myself classical liberal (believe in the freedom of individuals above everything). So in these polarized days, it makes me have arguments with both sizes. I’ve even been called fascist and Nazi just for not supposing identity politics
Thanks for the question … I guess! LOL
Part of the problem with your point about Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas is that this conflict goes back a very long time prior to that date. This isn’t so cut and dried as “Hamas attacked Israel and they responded in kind” because there are reasons why Hamas attacked Israel … namely, that Israel has been systematically strangling the Palestinians in Gaza. And since Hamas initiated that attack in 2023, Israel has been unrelentingly pulverizing the relatively-defenseless Palestinians.
If there is truly a demonic figure in all of this, it’s right-wing dictator wannabe Benjamin Netanyahu. He wants to murder (and has been murdering) every single Palestinian and take over Gaza for Israel. He was involved in this before the Hamas attack, and he’s been unconscionable ever since. He should be brought up for crimes against humanity at The Hague.
Ultimately, this extremely sad situation was caused by cramming two radically different ideologies into the same area after the Second World War. Both peoples consider the area to be the holiest of lands (in that regard, Israel has the more obvious claim), and neither group will ever surrender the land.
But unfortunately for Palestine is the fact that Israel has the United States as a ride-or-die partner thanks to the dumbest and greediest U.S. President in history fantasizing about building luxury hotels on the bodies of dead Palestinians.
It’s all too sickening, even for this site.
