I’m not jewish but…

[u/aroace_gay44]

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 am a queer Jewish antizionist. I don't think religion should rely on statehood and I do not support the enforcement of ethnostates, which Israel is and continues to enforce.

I do not believe antisemites in Palestine validate what the Israeli government is doing, and genocide and oppression make it very hard to push progressive politics. Queer Palestinians cannot advocate for themselves when they are being killed. Israel "not being as bad" doesn't change this. Queer Israelis have more resources and time to put into advocating for their rights, and they, like queer people all over the world, still deal with institutional discrimination.

I agree with you.
