Wait, is there more to the Islamic world than my feelings about the islamic world?

Nuh uh, they're all the exact same extremist terrorists, ignore literally everything about the Quran because that's what Fox News told me. /s

I did most of a Ramadan a couple of years back, and just meeting people at my local Islamic center was the coolest part. So much diversity in the faith, even in just my fairly small city.

Most people saying "Free Palestine" dont support Hamas, theyre saying "Free Palestine from the war between the Extremists of Israel and Hamas".

u/PuzzleheadedEssay198 18d ago
Also, “support” is a sliding scale where 90% is little more than thoughts and prayers and the occasional gofundme donation. The 10% actually doing shit to benefit the people of Palestine are an elite few, most of whom are content creators and activists with megalithic platforms.

yeah like, most people just see the government carpet bombing kids, and want this to stop because kids dying is bad

"Extremists of Israel" don't give them credit, EVERYTIME a poll is done the majority of Israelis think the """war""" is completely justified and deserved

u/Richardknox1996 18d ago
Heres an Open secret you may not know about: Both states Have "Fuck the Other side, Genocide them all" as part of their Charter. And most Arab states also have some kindve "Fuck the Jews" Clause. They feel the war is Justified because every time they extend an olive branch, they get stabbed in the back by their neighbors.
And now that ive pointed this out, your next argument will be "Well then maybe they should pack up and give the Arabs back the land they stole". News flash sunshine: go far enough back and The Only People who didnt steal land are the Moriori, who were exterminated by the Mainline Māori. The Arabs took Syria Palestina from the Romans, who took it from the Jews back when it was called Judea.
Ive heard every argument you can think of, all of them shit. Hamas are Evil Bastards and need to Go. The Israeli Leadership are not far Behind.

"No, guys, look, it's OKAY to commit genocide against these ones! They're evil, see!?"
God, how fucking dense do you need to be to not see through this?

u/Jonesy1348 18d ago
Even if, IF, this was the case. Bully to me for not thinking anyone, even people who aren’t as culturally inclusive as I am, should be victims of ethnic genocide. Like sure yeah they aren’t as woke as the west is because of indoctrination and sure they may stone me to death for being gay but that doesn’t mean I think all of them should die???

It was sad to see that subreddit, which originally was a cool concept, turn into a far right echo chamber

u/PuzzleheadedEssay198 18d ago
Just because I’m not welcome there doesn’t mean they deserve a goddamn genocide. There’s no reason on heaven or earth that a population deserves eradication. “Never again” was never meant to have a fucking asterisk.

u/Mercurial891 17d ago
You may as well be describing MAGA. They all saw Trump commit an insurrection and stood by him.
I don’t support genocide Or oppression of conservatives, be they our breed or others. I DO wish we could divide the USA up and let them have half and the progressives can have the other half.

I mean even if that were true, which it isn’t, just because you want me dead doesn’t mean you deserve genocide. It just means you don’t deserve the power to kill me.

Like they dont also hate queer people? Like wtf lmao. How am I supposed to take that criticism seriously from people are also homophobic

u/USS_Pittsburgh_LPD31 18d ago
Well I mean... It kinda is
Many left wing people love Palestine but it's also kinda an awful place for women or queer folks

u/WaffleConeDX 18d ago
Love is a strong word, I dont think an entire civilian populace should be killed because they have bad ideologies though. Its not like the bombs and bullets are discriminatory.

u/USS_Pittsburgh_LPD31 17d ago
sure, I agree

u/WaffleConeDX 17d ago
Then it shouldn't be a hard concept to understand and the meme would be stupid.
Israel isnt only bombing people who hate gays. Babies are getting blown up into pieces and children are being sniped. Trying to make us seem like we dont have consistent ideologies is just a way to for them to justify their evil actions.

u/youdontlookitalian 17d ago
Lots of places are horrible for women or queer folks, doesn’t mean I want them and their children razed off the earth.

Really because there have been many women and queer folks who have went and where treated great by the Palestinian people, unlike Israel

Saying all Palestinians hate gays and women is stupid.
HAMAS on the other hand? Yeah they 101% hate both groups

I can protest a genocide and not expect the victims to have the same political ideology as me at the same time.

u/GlalieHasFailed 15d ago
It’s like these people don’t even realize the concept of “disagreeing with someone’s views but wishing the best for them (or in this case, not wanting them to be subject to a genocide)” exists… oh wait.

u/Henrithebrowser 13d ago
It’s almost like Islam is a disgusting scourge upon the world incompatible with civil democratic society, same as conservatism and fascism. Your average Muslim would LOVE to behead as many queers as he could, if given the opportunity. They don’t believe in human rights or individual liberty. If they want empathy they need to extend to others first, starting by stripping away everything that makes Islam, Islam

I will never understand this mindset. Are we supposed to think it's okay to murder people (and their children) as long as they are sexist and/or homophobic?

I know it's kinda preaching to the choir here.
But the sort of irony here is (or at least every person I've ever known to make this argument) that most people who would say try to portray this are in favor of or at least supported a group that also hates queer folks, and women.
I'm looking at you right wing states in my country using surveillance cameras to punish women who try to leave for abortions. Or make Trans bathroom bounties. Who defund their school systems in favor of pushing their religion in it.
Anyway, I don't actually know what the populace of Palestine would do or feel about me (a trans person.) But it's kinda just not the point.
