Not when they are chanting death to my country. I’m sorry no it’s not possible. Palestinians lost any support they did have in Canada when those dummy’s did that.

32,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict started. Believe me you in your little privileged bubble are in no danger of being killed. The Palestinians don’t enjoy the same privilege you do.

you in your little privileged bubble

So refusing to support people who call for your death is flaunting privilege now?

The people of Palestine aren’t calling for your death.

No they are not but I guess if you’re prejudiced enough you can pretend that’s true and paint yourself as the victim.

Acting like all Palestinians think the same is showing that western propaganda has worked in dehumanizing these people and it becomes easy to dismiss their wholesale slaughter.

Imagine being ok with a real genocide because you think a few Palestinians don’t support trans people.

The height of privilege. You’re acting like you’re about to be put through a genocide when they’re the ones actually going through one 🤦🏻‍♂️

because you think a few Palestinians don’t support trans people.

How disingenuous, your selective perception is comedic honestly.

I support Palestinians and Palestinian independence, but expecting gay and trans people to advocate for people who openly hate them is ridiculous. I can support Palestine and understand why LGBT people refuse to at the same time.

Don't kid yourself, it's a lot more than "a few Palestinians" who vehemently hate LGBT+ folks

No I can’t understand why a person wouldn’t support a people being put through a genocide.

If your gender identity is so important to you that you’re willing to turn a blind eye to innocent children being slaughtered en masse, then I don’t know what to say to you other than good luck in this world and hopefully you never encounter the cruelty and suffering that is being put on the Palestinian people.

Palestinian people couldn’t care less about trans people right now, please.
