It would be more awesome if he went to live in Palesrine and shared his views on LGBTQ+

    This is such a dumb fucking argument. I’ll never live in Palestine or most everywhere on planet earth. If some country decided to blow up entire cities in Indonesia I would be equally opposed.

    Yeah so it turns out that people that are constantly being bombed back to the stone age don't really have the bandwidth to develop progressive viewpoints. Queer Palestians die to Israeli bombs just the same as any other.

    That's some bullshit.

    Current estimates are at about 76,000 dead from Isreal's genocide, a third of which are children. There is not 76,000 dead queer Palestinians who've died at the hands of other Palestinians in the last 3 years.

    This is a braindead take that a 5 second Google search could solve.

    Apparently not, because the population of Palestinians will always equal the population of Palestinians no matter what. You didn't think through this.

    I'm 100% positive that there are far less Palestinians right now then there were nine months ago.

    Still went over your head.

    The amount of Palestinians that exist right now is the number of Palestinians that exists right now. The amount of Palestinians 9 months ago is equal to the number of Palestinians 9 months ago. You're failing to understand that the comparison here is death type not population capitas.
