Anyone who supports Israel in the current conflict is okay with people being executed for ... checking my notes here ... uh, hang on, this can't be right ... um, being born in Palestine? Oof, that seems bad.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Nope. But also not okay with genocide.
Trying to make this incredibly complex situation a one issue thing is really simple thinking.

Yeah - it's undoubtedly a good thing that Israel doesn't execute people for being gay.
Since with the way they do things, they wouldn't just execute gay people. They'd execute anyone who happens to live anywhere in the vicinity of a gay person. And then blame it on the gay person.
And you'd defend them.

I'm gay but I still don't think homophobes should be executed en masse
The fact that OP doesn't agree with that is really disturbing.
I'm not really in favour of indiscriminate airstrikes, but it wasn't exactly unprovoked. What would you do in Israel's situation?
So now you're trying to change the topic entirely. Is this just a gish-gallop attempt to justify you being okay with supporting Israel murdering thousands of civilians?
I'm just asking what you'd do in that situation?
Turn the other cheek, but we all know how things went the last time someone told you that
(Bashes child's head in)
"Nah it's alright, he was homophobic!"

You sound like someone with no moral compass. “Majority of Arabs wants us death, so let all Arabs die” - that’s your statement.
There’s no reason to argue with you because you’re not one to be reasoned with.
You’re just laughable in my opinion, not that my opinion matters to you. I suppose.
Good luck with your bait post though!
So which side can I support in this conflict if I'm not OK with human rights violations?
Neither side. It's messed up.
From a purely materialistic pov, it's a decision regarding the quantity vs the quality of benefits.
Because that's what it's all about at the global level, benefits. It's about exploiting a situation as best one can to reap either the most or the best benefits possible.

Anyone who doesn't support Russia is ok with black people being murdered by cops.
It looks like we're having a saying stupid things contest, so that's my entry.

This is the most ridiculously western take..
I’m bi trans and Arab and I stand with Palestine against the Israeli genocide and against Hamas’ Islamist terrorism.
The entire Arab world sucks to be queer in (literally why I emigrated), but that’s not what any of this is about?
Also I know you might find this hard to believe but LGBT Palestinians exist.

Are you real? I used to avoid downvoting anything but this, i have no words. If this is real you are...#$&@, and if it is a joke...f***.
That’s very far fetched. I believe most genocides in human history were committed against societies that did not allow same sex marriage. Maybe even all.
So what you're claiming is that the only populations in the world that can be supported are those who are pro-LGBT?
The plight of Tibetans and Uighurs, gotta ignore those. The horrific conditions of the people of North Korea that their government is continually subjecting them to, who cares about that, right?
Remember folks: don't fall for the rage bait
You know I came to lemmy to get away from the right wing shitposters on reddit but it seems they are already here too.
Whelp, guess its time to uninstall the internet
Its a straw man. But it does very effectivly point out the irony of people supporting palestine. U cant have ur cake and eat it to.
Im expecting people to repley with being genocided is worse thwn being executed for being gay to which i say we really should be dealing with china and russias genocide before we deal with any gay rights issues.
In 1830, a slave revolt in the US saw the slaves committing atrocities, rape and murder, calling to "kill all the white". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner%27s_slave_rebellion
Does that mean we're pro-slavery?
I'm definitely picking up a logical fallacy with this argument.
Don't forget the rights of non-sunni muslims to exist. They are 99% Sunni Muslim for a reason, and it involves a lot of murder.
Hamas are genocidal maniacs.
