Fair enough, guess I was wrong about that, still stand by everything else I said.
In Egyptian, I live in the US. I meet Palestinians everyday, there are Palestinians in my family. Palestine for you is an issue that popped up about a 2 years ago, for me it's been the struggle of generations. I have family members that have died in wars about this matter, thrown in prison and tortured. You don't understand what it's like to actually be in danger, so shut the fuck up. You are used to not having backlash whereas I've seen doors broken down and hoods thrown over people's faces over Facebook posts.
If it gets out that you sent some emails, who gives a shit. There is no risk for you, for me there is, therefore it's imperative that I don't discuss what I do, or don't do on the Internet. Emails aren't really that important, voting is far more important yet when that right is exercised people like you and the other guy bitch about it.
The articles you have linked to are a mix of rubbish and fear mongering.
What is currently transpiring with transgender people in the U.S. is comparable to the Holocaust or any true genocide that has taken place
That is fucking horrendous to say. Those two things are not even in the same sport much less the league.
What's happening to queers in the US is not genocide. It does not meet the legal definition of genocide (according to the wiki section you posted), going around saying stuff like that minimizes actual genocide
As for what I'm doing on Palestine, I will not respond to this question for the sake of my anonymity. Now you may just say that I'm using this a veil, but it's pretty easy for me to lie and say I've done so and so when I have not.
Where trump support?
You need to go through the entire thread.
This guy is saying we should've left the gazans to their fate in exchange for his child's gender identity.
Also trans people are not being genocided. They are not being chased in the streets and killed, nor are they being rounded up in camps, nor are there bombs getting dropped in their gathering places. What's happening to gazans is genocide, what happened to the rhoyinga is genocide. When shit gets even close to that level, then it's genocide.
The premise that parent puts forward is that I should be OK with genocide as long as his kid is ok. That's unemphatic. By any metric of the situation, one issue is far more important and extreme than the other.
There is no bigotry or hate, just a lack of empathy from the person I'm replying to. It sucks what's happening to their son, but what's happening in gaza is 10x worse by any metric.
Yep, I think they should have worker protections like everybody else! They work hard, they suffered just to be here, overall they make the country a better place. There is no reason to send them back (except racism)
I agree with what you said, but I don't care what non Americans think
I stand by what I said, what is wrong with it?
If it helps you feel better, I know hundreds of people who have both legs and are still sheila-less
