    So are you contending that gay people should be openly supportive of Isreal, a country actively engaged in a genocide?

    No, as evidenced when I said “Me when people are cheering on Iran, a country that literally executes gay people” instead of “Gay people should be openly supportive of Israel”. As you did not read what I wrote, I did not read your further paragraphs about something I did not say.

      If you can’t understand why your post comes across as potentially saying people should support Israel then you probably shouldn’t be speaking out on issues like this.

      When you say to someone, “Oh, you support [thing]???” In a negative way, and that thing is something that is diametrically opposed to another thing, it is almost always going to come across as implying support for the diametrically opposed thing. Your reply then comes off as a very bad faith response at best, if not a full stumble into narcissism.

        I think this says more about your limited perspective than ops, truthfully.

          Exactly how is my perspective limited when I am literally empathizing with the perspective of someone else?

        It sounds like you’re projecting a lot.

        They clearly stated twice that they are a gay person that does not support Israel. Learn to read instead of just seeing what you want to see to justify your anger.

          That explanation came after the fact. The original comment is a reply to the original post, which does not include any of that context. You need to learn how the progression of time works before you try to talk down to me about reading comprehension, because you can’t even comprehend what order things arrived in.

      Pity. Reading the further paragraphs would have made you realize that I wasn’t actually saying the the thing you assumed I was saying. But taking the path of least consideration seems to be your thing, so I can’t say I’m surprised.
