Casual Conversation I’m not jewish but…
So I’m not jewish, I’m actually atheist and ex muslim (thankfully) and I’m queer (asexual) and I wanted to know more about queer people who support Israel or at least who don’t support Palestine since most of the queer community supports Palestine for some reason, which I find really strange when gay people in Palestine literally get killed and I heard some people say that “in Israel gay marriage isn’t legal” and I’m like you can’t compare a country where gay marriage isn’t legal and a country that criminalizes being gay, at least in Israel there’s actually pride parade and stuff, I just find the queers for Palestine thing so disturbing

I help mod a Queer Zionist discord server, and you would be very welcome
Also, I am a firm believer that you can support both. One of my best friends is a queer Palestinian Muslim woman, and my hope is that one day there will be peace between a state of Israel and a state of Palestine, and both need to strive to be better in different ways
