I have seen in YouTube comments and videos, X/Twitter posts, Facebook posts, etc. that there seems to be a very large part of the LGBT population that seem to be in support of Fakestine over Israel.
That makes zero sense to me. Some have said that they see a genocide going on perpetrated by Israel but why can't they see that's exactly what Israel is trying to prevent? Israel is even sending in aid and losing more of their own people trying to be as careful as they can about the strikes. How is it Israel's fault that Hamas uses Fakestinians as human shields, or builds military targets under mosques, hospitals, and schools?
Hamas has been rejecting ceasefire proposals that take them out of power, and Israel can't afford to leave them in power for obvious reasons, but somehow Israel is getting all the blame for the deaths and damage?
What makes even less sense are the prominent LGBT+ advocates taking the side of Fakestine. Do they not realize what would happen to them if they were in the Gaza strip? For better or worse Israel allows pride parades and for people to openly express and participate in their preferred sexuality. Tel Aviv Pride claims to be holding the biggest pride parade in all of Asia. Yet the LGBTQ+ activists are all hating on Israel and loving Fakestine?
I suppose the only bright side for me in all this is that with people adding Fakestinian flags to their profile images, I at least can easily see who to block or remove from my friend's lists.
