You can understand why it seems like you don’t actually care about LGBTQ people.

Part of the problem with this kind of attitude is that it is little more than “pinkwashing” or using LGBTQ issues as pawns to excuse or gloss over human rights abuses.

For gay Palestinians, the biggest issue they’re facing right now is that they are being killed by the Israeli government, their homes are being destroyed, and they’re being starved. Bombs don’t discriminate. And there is no safe passage for gay Palestinians to enter Israel or be protected by them.

Members of the LGBTQ community in Israel are also still fighting against discrimination, violence, and to protect the rights they have, especially in the face of a far right government that includes members who have expressed hatred or contempt for them. You suggest I would protest a Pride parade. I doubt you’ve ever been to one. Here’s a member of the Knesset’s view:

Here’s what the community in Israel thinks of the government, and what some Israelis think of the community:

And here’s what some actual academics and members of the Palestinian and Israeli LGBTQ communities think, so you don’t feel the need to speak for people:

Since you care more than the LGBTQ community about LGBTQ issues and since you only frequent this thread (and can’t think of any local LGBTQ issues you care about), perhaps you can comment on any of the issues I’ve kindly presented for you?
Another wall of lies you gladly post. Took me about a second to disprove it, here you go.

“While Israel is not perfect, it’s still a safe country for LGBTQ+ people,”

You either intentionally misrepresent people or you just bold faced lie. You babble on about genocide and famine when both have been disproven, you claim you support LGBT but then you praise Hamas for their actions. Why have gay Palestinians been fleeing Palestine into Israel if it is so bad? It's because it's still the best in the entire middle east.

You want me to comment on what "some people" think? Stick your anecdotes where the sun don't shine. Israel cares more about innocent Palestinians than Palestine's own government but here you are licking Hamas boots. I've told you about 20 times that every country in the world values it's own citizens above anyone else but you insist on setting up your brain dead strawman over and over.
