Do you not understand that there's a difference between supporting a religious regime and supporting a people being massacred by an enemy of that regime?

It's akin to Allied nations in the WWII era being opposed to Nazi fascism but also being against or being critical of America dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Just because you're philosophically against the wholesale murder of 150K to 245K innocent civilians (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) who have little to no say in the choices the governments under which they were born and have to live their lives make, doesn't mean that you approve of, endorse, or think those choices are good ones or ones you'd want to be under the thumb of.

It means you don't think anyone's life should be a pawn or deemed disposable just to further the machinations of ANY state. Whatever their "justifications" are.

LGBTQ for Palestine aren't looking to make friends with the Hamas, PLO, the Fatah movement, or any of the groups that have popped up on either side over the past 70 + years.

They're protesting against genocide because they're also a population vulnerable to genocide.

Why's that so hard to understand? Israel isn't wholesale murdering terrorists in control of Palestine. They're murdering Palestinians, including the same ones the religious leaders like to throw off roofs just for existing.
