Has a queer army somehow invaded a country and gone unnoticed?

[–] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A way to try to discourage leftist criticism of Israel's actions is to appeal to Israel being the only country in the middle east that somewhat recognises queer people and their rights.

That should only work on people capable of a single thought.

I want Israel to fuck off and pay for their crimes.

I want LGBTQ rights everywhere, and those that impede them should be deposed and, depending on their actions, charged with crimes.

If the current leaders of Gaza do not respect the rights of all humans, they should be removed. This has nothing to do with the ongoing invasion and bombings from Israel, they are separate thoughts.

Nuance isn't allowed on the internet tho.

Does that include Gaza?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't it?

Human rights exist everywhere, and I decry anyone who opposes that.

This is accomplished through reasonable, legal process. Not bombs.

You cant despose of and charge with crimes without some amount of violence, they arent going to come quietly

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I'm taking about Palestinians governing themselves, same as any other place.

Im not saying anywhere deserves to be bombed over this, I'm saying (and your seem to have missed it) that the invasion and the LGBTQ rights issues are entirely separate, and should be handled separately.

Israel has nothing to do with it

Spec ops: the rainbow

I'm not sure. But this might be the answer to the question "British or Gay?". Maybe we colonized the UK and are only now able to answer the question with "Yes, both."

The "unnoticed" part is what I balk at:

They'd be the flamboyantest army around, wouldn't they??
