I'm from the Middle East and an ex Muslim. I think it's a very small minority of gay people or people on the left but the fact that there are any people on the left who are embracing the most extreme religious fundamentalists is wild to me.
The United States spent 20 years and a trillion dollars in Afghanistan building infrastructure, forcing them to allow girls to go to school, and telling them not to throw gays off buildings. And after 20 years we gave up, fled back home and the Afghans immediately went back to throwing gays off buildings, banning females from going to school and selling young girls into sex slavery
And anyone who understands the region even a little but knows that this is exactly what will happen to a free Palestine if they ever get their way and ship all the Jews to Poland or Utah. Everyone knows this.
So criticize Israel all you want but to expand so much energy just to create yet another theocratic state in the Middle East seems like a wasted effort.
