Following over 100 student arrests at Columbia University’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, University President Minouche Shafik took the time to remind students that, yes, they are allowed to protest, but only if that protest is quiet and, more importantly, ineffective.

Hamas ≠ Palestinian civilians
Hilarious how some people seem to think that we should just accept the mass killing of Palestinians because of something completely unrelated like Hamas’ attitude towards gay people.
Clutching at straws to defend the IDF!
A story that stuck with me was a little girl whos parents had just been killed trying to evacute per Israel’s demands, she was trapped in a car by Israeli gunfire and called medics for help.
IDF double tapped the car and blew up the ambulance going to help her.
The bravery of the medics who set out to help her when they knew a literal tank was on site where they were headed is superhuman and heartbreaking.
There is no moral defense of Israel.
The phenomenom of ‘using queer rights to make your crimes against humanity look pretty’ is called pinkwashing if anyone needs a short word to describe it in future

So you don’t actually have an answer.
Y’know some people claim that Russia recently declaring all LGBT groups as terrorist organisations is because the LGBT support groups are all CIA plants.
This is not a justification for Russia obviously, whether or not the CIA plant thing is true persecuting your own country’s queer community is always wrong. I just find it interesting that people have no problem condemning Russia and pointing out that this is a bullshit justification for homophobia but with Israel calling into question the morality of “hamas allegedly hides among civilians so killing Palestinian civilians is justified” will have people compare you to Hitler.
I also find the “Hamas hides among civilians” justification interesting because… Where else are they supposed to go?
