Oh, and apparently people only support Palestine because "They're losing." And "It doesn't matter whose wrong or right they're both just fighting for survival. Who cares about supporting either of them."

Other highlight "Palestine has homophobia built into it's law. Like Russia." Said by a cis person too lmao

Hahahaha fuck me I wish I had the energy and skill to school people like this but I just can't be bothered hahaha I'm so tired.

"Both sides bad" types are even more insufferable than out Zionists sometimes.

I like to call this campfire stories propaganda, a choose your own adventure style of lying, it's the same for the DPRK but 20th and not in the desert.
The best part about this is that you'll find out these guys are the same that are the most transphobic and homophobic of everyone, for example Isaac Butterfield, Australian "comedian" one day he'll make a video about how evil trans women are for having genitalia he doesn't like, the other day he'll make a video about how evil Hamas is for beheading trans people (they never did that).
The middle east queer rights and feminism discussion I find is the biggest sign of cognitive dissonance for westerners, even when a country like Iran outright makes being trans legal (although transmedicalist unfortunately) they still don't believe it or make up another lie like how it's for making gay people straight even though this decredits the work of Iranian trans right activists.
Keep in mind this isn't exclusive to liberals, but also present in a lot of leftists who don't know shit but act like they know anything.
