Israel is what will happen to the US if republicans win on Tuesday
Not related at all to the article. We really need to stop invoking the US election every single time we encounter news of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide.
Nah, Israel gives queer people rights and has universal healthcare.
What will happen to the U.S. will be far worse.
Gay marriage is illegal in Israel. Discrimination against gay people is very common in Israel. It really is not as progressive as people think. Even racism is very prevalent there.
It is not in any way progressive.
But they will not force queer people into conversion camps.
I had to do a double take on that but you are right, they banned lgbt conversion camps two years ago
Something tells me it's not because they care so much about gay people. Pinkwashing is a big thing there and gay marriage is still illegal.
I'm paying a lot of attention to this stuff because my daughter is queer and we're in the U.S.
Technically we could go to Israel because I'm Jewish but fuck me if I will do that to her either. I'm a dual citizen with the UK and, while it's not exactly a queer paradise over there, I'm a hell of a lot less worried about anything like that happening there.
You do know that Israel has engaged in what's called pinkwashing, right?
You do know that the U.S. right-wing elite wants to march queer people into "conversion therapy" camps, right?
Like I said, far worse.
When the military says that you are too ideological, you might be a terrorist.
Wait, the IDF is calling people out for their bullshit?
The ultranationalist TV channel fast becoming Israel’s most-watched news source
Fox News?
Channel 12 was the Fox News. 14 is beyond.
Not a good path to go down. The outcome in the long run will we very negative.
Unsurprising that a nation that's ok with genocide (as long as it's not them!) would be sucking up nationalist rhetoric like it's mother's milk.
We seriously need to stop funding their bullshit. Take the money/weaps we send to Isreal and give it to Ukrain instead.
That’s always a good sign.
