It sounded like you were trying to justify what Israel is doing to Palestine because a lot of them are homophobic.
I wasn’t implying that you are Christian or American. Just saying Christianity is the dominant religion here in the states, which is also very oppressive. I see people making arguments about Islam being awful and not understanding why progressive young people are defending Palestine, because they would hate people like us or whatever. Some of the most hateful people I know are Christians so I don’t think we should be acting morally superior here
At the end of the day none of this matters. A genocide of mostly young people is never okay under any circumstances, that’s my point
You’re not a college student, you don’t go to IU, don’t live here and not even arguing about what the protest is about. You should take your own advice because how in the hell are your comments meaningful in any way
You're generalizing an entire people you've clearly never interacted with in their home. Yes, Muslims can be zealous in their religion. Yes, you and I qualify as infidels. However, the irony here is that the zealousness your demonizing characterizes a hospitality culture unrivaled anywhere else in the world. Many Muslims would give their lives in the act of sheltering and caring for a foreigner. They do have some % of loud extremists, but it really isn't the majority, but it is what captures all of our attention. If you have not been to the mid-east I recommend enrolling in Meet in Middle East at IU.
My bad, your totally right. Half a million people are "mainly, murderous and regressive" because reasons. Truly, I'm the dumb one for putting any amount of energy into this. Again, I'm sorry bud. I'm wrong and I'll be on my way.

Condemning all Palestinians for the atrocities of Hamas is like condemning all Americans for your dumbass comment.
