I hope all the woke gays who insist islam is the most gay friendly and progressive religion on earth move to this area and wave their rainbow flags, and I hope they meet the same fate 

This is the weakest scarecrow I have seen on the internet all year.  Some of you just want to hate people.

We should show this thread to these 9 human beings. I'm sure they'd appreciate the support

True but which countries still have stoning still taking place in 2024?

And you're still supporting a genocidal terrorist president yourself. You have ZERO moral high ground.

Most third world countries, look at Uganda 4/5 Christians and being gay is still punishable by death

What does this have to do with Christians? The most they do with gays is disowning them, kicking them out of their homes, or conversion therapy. Christians don't throw gays off buildings, behead them, decapitate them, stone them, or drag their corpse around. For woke gays it's just cool to be pro Islam while being anti Christian and anti Jewish

This being a "recommended post" lmao...Lord you just ******* refuse to get it. We've been through this 1000000 times in the mega thread already and you're still repeating the same stupid talking point. How many times does it have to be said that nobody is whitewashing the Houthis crimes or thinking they're good guys? They're just the only ally and the only group to take action against Israel in the area.

 

Resistance is violent. Decolonization always comes with horrific violence. History has shown us over and over again that occupiers do not peacefully leave occupied people and their lands. Every single oppressed group in history has fought and violently resisted their oppressor. No matter what Palestinians do, there will always be people like you and other Westerners here who claim that they support a Free Palestine, but still stand in the way of their liberation because..."well I don't like the way they're resisting their occupier!!". All of your "I just want peace" crap is utterly useless. You simply don't get to dictate the terms of their freedom. Let them protest Hamas once Palestine is free. 

 

Whatever, hope the Houthis block more ships. We'll be cheering!

 

unless you're actively helping Palestinians get Israel's foot off their neck, you have no business telling them how to get Israel's foot off their neck. 

 

And I mean, let's be very clear: those same people are also against armed resistance in the West Bank. That member you quoted literally argued once that Palestinians in the West Bank bring it upon themselves by resisting their oppressors.

1. This is the lamest attempt at bait I've seen in years.

 

2. I'm biting anyways: Have you ever heard of Uganda?

Who knew having your society centered around a book that: 

1. calls for the death of anyone that isn't a cis-het believer
2. is pro-slavery
3. sees women as inferior to men
4. is pro child marriage
5. glorifies religious warfare

would inevitably lead to rotten minds 

 

All religions suck, but very few are as violent as Islam

Not you comparing voting for Biden with supporting Houthis.  (perhaps you view voting for Biden worse)

 

And Palestinians can choose Fatah for that matter. 

 

You're right They're actually not quite comparable. Biden has more blood on his hands and is directly responsible for the murder of 15 thousand + kids

There are pro Palestinian protests across the country, I promise you can rightfully fight against their horrendous treatment without having to coddle the Houthis, most normies are never gonna see this as anything but

I know damn well a white gay (from ******* Alabama ) who advocates supporting Genocide Joe as "harm reduction" isn't going to moralize about what pro-Palestine ppl should believe. Just Go **** yourself…. Nothing to really say since another user already got your raggedy ass together

Horrible, barbaric - I hope against the odds that these poor men are able to have their sentences reduced to jail or at least a less medieval form of execution. There's no defending this.

 

Now onto the madness in this thread - I'll ignore the fact that the fact that the Biden-Houthis parallel is obviously ridiculous, let's take it at face value. 

 

People don't necessarily take issue with acknowledging when individual Houthi or Hamas actions might align with Palestinian interests - they take issue with the glorification, whitewashing, and heroising of the Houthis/Hamas when this foul **** is their actual reality. Yemen Yemen make us proud, glorifying Hamas violence, wearing their iconography, rampant Islamism apologia. Y'all ran in here just itching to do apologia as opposed to actually using your heads to think about our fellow gay men who are being brutalised by this regime.

 

An American leftist reluctantly voting for Joe Biden on one day is in no way the same as a leftist consistently lionising Islamist groups, attempting to launder their image, and do apologia for their actions. Yall can try and pretend this is not happening in Western leftist spaces at the moment, but you are lying to yourselves. The language of "Decolonisation" is consistently being used to reframe the violence of these groups away from what it actually is - which is angry right wing religious ideologues enacting their will.

Not surprised *that* Zionist apologist moderator pinned this comment but y'all do NOT care for the thousands of Palestinian queer folk Israel has brutally murdered the past several decades. Especially when this thread was *immediately* hijacked by a Zionist apologist user. And here we have the same "harm reduction" pro-Biden folks who refuse to reckon with the fact that their choice for genocider-in-chief should be held in the same regard as these Islamist groups they claim pro-Palestine folks are "defending.” Even more insidious considering in several threads and posts y'all have made excuse after excuse for the Dems and Biden that have committed this genocide. It's honestly sick

Couple of things…

 

What is happening in Palestine IS genocide and the West is actively contributing to it.

 

Hamas is a resistance movement against an illegal occupation but that doesn't make them "the good guys”… they aren't.

 

The Middle East remains an absolute hellhole for queer people, women and other minorities and we should be able to engage in good faith criticism of these atrocities without resorting to whataboutisms… these 9 men deserve better than that.
 

The appalling treatment of queer people in Muslim majority countries shouldn't be weaponised to justify an on-going mass slaughter in Gaza.

The fact this isn't the pinned comment (and it should be)…. Speaks volumes

Yea but that's just one example out of what like 50. But you're correct religion is general dangerous and this applies to all religions

That is disputable. Plenty of reports and investigations came out later that dispute this claim. It is not a settled fact.

This is abhorrent. The rampant homophobia in the region is one of the main reasons I ******* hate it here.

 

The usual suspects need to chill though. Using this a proxy for the narrative that "see? The Western world is 100% right in its unequivocal support of the Israeli genocide of Gaza." It's just lazy. Especially when it was the Western powers that stood by and armed the neighboring countries in their relentless bombardment and starving of Yemen. They went through literal famine because of it, I KNOW y'all haven't forgotten the news headlines that were all over the place yet. Basic infrastructure -healthcare facilities, schools, etc.- was bombed to hell and back, making the situation in Yemen even worse that it was before the war. You don't think all of that had something to do with the degree of religious radicalization we're witnessing today in Yemen? 

 

It also goes to show to absolutely tone-deaf a lot of gay/LGBT libs and Western pro-Israelis are, especially in their support/cheering of the Israeli bombardment of the Gazan population. Bombing entire populations into the stone age, if not directly to their graves, won't endear LGBT rights to these populations, it will only make LGBT rights/quality of life worse.  Also, adopting this kind of reasoning will open the doors to justify the bombardment and subjugation of majority of the world. I'm sure most of you don't support bombing the vast majority of Africa and Asia because "well, they ARE mostly homophobic, so...". What about your parents, grandparets, other family members that were or currently are homophobic? Were they legitimate targets to be turned into ground meat to be carried in plastic/trash bags by other family members because of their homophobia? USE YOUR ******* BRAINS.

Every single hospital in Gaza has been targeted/bombed at least once by the IOF, most of them are completely destroyed, obviously with Daddy Joe's rockets and 

money. What's your excuse/lie for that Ms. Empty Box?

Highly questionable narrative. The University of London's forensic analysis team investigated the incident over the last few months and found that the IDF's explanation of what happened made little to no sense.
