If you seriously think support of stopping genocide is bigoted, you really need to reevaluate you worldview and probably go outside.
You support a people who would not only kill Israelis but would also kill any LGBTQ people they could identify. They are bigots and anti-LGBTQ!
Even if this were true (which it isn't), the penalty for bigotry isn't indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
Apparently you have no problem supporting bigotry, antisemitism and anti LGBTQ.
I can tell you care so much about us queer folks as you want to see us all murdered along with thousands of innocent men, women, and children. Hey but at least we’re not getting tHrOwN fRoM rOoFtOps.
So you support a society that would jail you for existing? You are against a free and fair society that would let you exist in peace?

Are you going to vote Trump next election to stick it to Biden for supporting Israel as well?
Even if you're gay in Palestine, right now, the biggest threat to your existence is Israel. You support a society where children are murdered by a state for existing.
If you took all the racists and bigots in the world and put them in one country... It still wouldn't be justified to wipe them out. I wouldn't want to go to that country - it would certainly be among the worst places in the world - but I also wouldn't suggest we invade and start murdering them.
No you wouldn’t bomb them but you would avoid trading with them or purchasing their goods, selling to them or communicating with them.
This is exactly the stance Israelites have taken with Muslim Arabs for decades and now it’s being called apartheid.

You’re wasting your breath. The shills or whatever on here are using this to try and sway the youth not to vote. It’s so blatant it’s comical. “Genocide Joe” 😂
Fascists attempting to argue with the position of compassion is something else.
That does not justify mass murder or collective punishment.
It also doesn’t justify supporting a people who are anti LGBTQ and anti-Semitic.
So because I'm saying that a group of people shouldn't be indiscriminately murdered means that I support a theological genocide of a different group of people? Have you bumped your head?
Learn the meaning of the term conflation, and then stop doing that.
Brother you just described half the rural population of Idaho.
And 99.99% of Palestine…
As long as you agree we should be fire bombing idaho.
If Idaho is killing gays then yeah firebomb them. These are easy questions, comrade.
Grouping a whole people into one ideology is pretty bigoted if you ask me.
And that makes it okay to massacre children!
Do you not remember October?
Of course! It was terrible! And that completely justifies murdering children.
Yeah! Kill all those kids that had nothing to do with what happened in October!
They don't give a fuck about us Jews either. We're a tool against the evil swarthy Arab hordes they're afraid of. The very fact that they refuse to agree that not all Jews are Israeli to me when I specifically tell him that I'm Jewish and in no way Israeli says it all.
Currently it’s Israel who is killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, but you’re more worried about some unlikely hypothetical where the shoe was on the other foot.
if you adhere to any spiritual, or religious practices, or any formal ethical philosophy at all then i'd encourage you and all of your like-minded peers to read this link about thIs concept
Hi there. I'm Jewish. What bigotry are you talking about? It's sure not bigotry against Jews unless you think all Jews are Israeli or support Israel. Which would be pretty bigoted of you.
Ah, so you do think all Jews are Israeli. Again, that is antisemitic.
I am not an Israeli and I do not support Israel.
Yep you seem to have forgotten that.
Forgotten what, exactly? Forgotten that antisemitic people like yourself associate all Jews with Israel when that is incredibly bigoted?
Well then the Republicans better get real comfortable with having a lot of bad things happening to them real quick.
I think you missed the point. Your logic calls for violence against Republicans.
