    Israel is no better, but you said it wasn’t true, so I decided to correct you.

    Just for clarification: I’m against what Israel is doing.

      I didn’t and won’t argue against your second source. I know Hamas uses violence, sometimes even torture, against queer Palestinians, I’m not denying that. And the first source is just one of maybe a few instances, which is why I added “at least not systematically”. The original comment just made it sound like Hamas systematically kills a lot of queer Palestinians or even to a similar extent as Israel killing Palestinians / Palestinian children, which just isn’t the case.

        The difference is Hamas would be doing this in peace times or in a world with no Israel. They are shit. Israel’s government are shit. Just weird defending such shitty people

          Maybe, maybe not. I don’t really like to judge people based on hypothetical assumptions. They are shit for various reasons, no doubt about that and I don’t defend proven shitty actions by them, let alone the organization as a whole, I just think we should keep discourse factual, even if it’s about groups we understandably don’t like.
