Why are the far left so pro Palestine / anti Israel anyway? I get that Victor just parrots whatever dogshit he reads in his Stalin daily digest or whatever, but where does this support of Palestine and opposition to Israel originate?

Oppressor/oppressed
Colonizer/indigenous
America bad/fake anti-imperialism crowd

Historically there have been some pro-Israel leftists due to labor zionism and other Israeli socialist projects, but not anymore because of the brain rot of Western communists.

Hilarious because China has had muslim pogroms which leftists generally like to deny. Way worse than anything Israel has done.

they tend to latch onto whichever group they feel at the moment is the most at risk and don't do much beyond thatlike this is about one of the stupidest movements i've ever seen in my life these are people who would be stoned to death if they were freely gay in a palestinian stateso don't bother trying to attach logic nor reason behind it

you got a cite on the whole stoning to death? bc Im pretty sure thats not the case.

who do you think has killed more gay people in Palestine? Israel or the crazy Islamists?

meanwhile, lets talk about how great Israel treats Palestinian gays.


Right, I got the response I was after from rockroll and checkraisedraw. Thanks to the rest of you who tried but didn't understand a basic question.

Kill to death ratio

Israel has thousands of Palestinian hostages

Palestine had like 50 Israeli hostages

Then they did some hostage swaps or something? Maybe they were just hostage talk ideas

Israeli “hostages”: actual terrorists
Palestinian hostages: peace activists from a small town

You pro-Hamas liars disgust me.

Also how is it Israel’s fault that Hamas hides in hospitals, schools, and random houses? I’m sorry but countries have a right to kill civilians in a just war.


checkraise is a reactionary so that does track with how you process information from the "far left".

yup, a bunch of whataboutism

fyi, i never said they should throw their support into a queers for israel

and victor, i'm sorry but if you for one second believe your own nonsense here i think i'm going to have to finally give up the belief that you are not beyond redemption if you truly believe that gays would be accepted and not met with violence in a free palestinian state

unlike you, i've spent several years living in the middle east and muslim countries, things would have been very, very bad for me if i were openly gay to the point that a big talking point amongst expats in the region is what to do if you're there and you are gay - what precautions should you take, how to deal with hotels and checking in, how to act in public, etc etc - and mind you these are not locals who are treated by much stricter measures and where a flamboyantly gay american can sort of blend in due to language and cultural barriers, a flamboyantly gay local can not just live normally, they must suppress their true selves wholly or at least in public (and always be at risk of discovery)

Intent doesn’t matter in killing actually. Jeffrey dahmer eating someone is exactly the same thing as someone using lethal self-defense.

The pro-Palestine side is not sending their best folks


Confirmation bias is a powerful thing. Those who don't give the 'right answer' can't have understood the possibly flawed question

I'm not sure what information I am supposed to process from the far left. Wtf does this even mean? I think the far left are a bunch of ignorant, deluded morons (same as the far right) if that helps.

this reminds me of the Atlantic article that talked about "legally killed children."

liberals are pretty slick to pull off that bit of consent. and sick.

Aren’t you the least bit ashamed that I destroyed the 186k deaths talking point that you defended and you just went on like it was nothing? I would love to destroy the “Gazans are literally starving!” talking point as well when I get the chance.

Well if they did, they neither answered it nor explained why it was flawed. Shocking really, since we're talking about the 3 most effective communicators on the forum here, who have a history of exemplary reading and writing comprehension.

this is dishonest. we are talking about Gaza or Palestine in general did you live there? did you travel there?

I find it hard to believe they are just stoning gays to death all the time. maybe they are! I am certainly open to evidence. but you have provided none.


@D2 Some of us allow that you can think

Yeah I’m sure you wake up every day and shed a tear for all the dead children killed by Soviet forces during WW2. Westerners are so privileged they don’t even understand how war works or why civilian deaths can be justified NECESSARILY or we could never challenge evil states that commit senseless acts of violence.

No idea what we're talking about but Queers for Palestine are without question my favorite people. Being pro-Hamas as a ''queer'' when you know they would throw you off buildings for being exactly that is something special.

I can barely understand a word of what you've said in your last 3 posts. Maybe try louder and with more hand gestures.


Or you could think.

Why on earth would the left be against Netanyahu ahmmmm a real brain teaser

H mm maybe its not a country we're against but actions and policies.

Hmm maybe we didn't understand the question

You know someone has absolutely no argument when they barge into a thread with some nonsense fortune cookie le epic critical thinker line.

Never thought I’d see you say something based but here we are.

I'm not really in the mood to puzzle out what some borderline illiterate donkey might have meant when he threw a bunch of words together in a seemingly random order.

you're clinging onto semantics here instead of agreeing that they are indeed feckless idiots

they can both agree with your beliefs but be absolute morons for doing so and that doesn't mean others who subscribe to the same belief are necessarily wrong for doing so

stop living in a binary us vs them world

Love you too buddy.
