Classic, it’s a pity they won’t extend the same courtesy to LGBT people that they do to dogs. That recent beheading in Hebron was just another in a long line of atrocities.

They're medieval Islamists that, for some stupid reason or another, are darlings of the left.

Couldn't wait to bring your political opponents into the conversation.

Pathetic

Responses like these are the reason comments like the one above you exist. If they get 0 attention, they wont keep trolling.

It's absolutely wild that you can openly say "I dont agree with the cultural aspects of Palestinians so it's ok they are being genocided."

As a member of the left, here is my personal stance.

I dont agree with a lot of the cultural aspects of Palestinians, but I dont think that is an excuse for them to be genocided.

They're openly not being "genocided." Some are occasionally killed by Israeli police and by IAF airstrikes in Gaza, but "genocide" is hyperbolic BS.

You’re talking to someone who called murdering gay people just a little “cultural aspect.” Well, I guess we shouldn’t pay any mind to Israel’s “cultural aspects” against Palestinians either. Job done.

There’s a lot of hardship and hard situations in the world, in quite a few cases you have a clear and unambiguous division between victims and the groups victimizing them, such as the case in Myanmar, Ukraine, victims of pogroms in Sudan, Australian immigration camps in Papua New Guinea, the US separating children from families in camps. A lot of that kind of thing. Few of those events get the sort of the lasting, intense, coverage and attention loaded with inflammatory buzzwords that the “Israeli Palestinian conflict” does. Few of those events are treated like a team sport for decades, often by people the furthest away from those events.

The only other comparable thing I can imagine is the “Free Tibet” movement, but even that has largely petered out as people realized that China wasn’t going to listen to them. But not this, not Israel. It’s always the same fury, the same certainty and the same muffled hatred, even when the “victims” of the conflict are not especially sympathetic and the conflict is far from one-sided. Funny isn’t it? How that works.

So I hope you understand why it’s so notable that this is the thing that makes people this intent on vilifying one party to an ongoing conflict. That’s doubly true when the party in question just happens to be the largest group of Jews in the world, and when so much of the “criticism” comes in the form of ahistorical and hysterical rhetoric.

What imperialism? West Bank was won from Jordan in 1967, and Israel ceded Sinai to Egypt, another aggressor in that same war, in exchange for peace deal.

And what apartheid? Israel is 20% Arab and Arab Israelis have equal rights compared to Jews, Christians and others in the country.

Let’s stick to point. Better yet, spend even a day in Israel and learn the truth, otherwise you can zip it

Take it up with the occupying force...

​

With most of the occupied West Bank under full Israeli military and administrative control, there is no joined-up strategy for dealing with the problem.

They are islamists, not to defend them but it's an entirely different culture. Why does the west have the right to impose LBGT values on them when it's not in their beliefs?

I wouldn’t argue that those beliefs should be imposed, if anything I’d say the response should be “You’re on your own, assholes.”
