Palestinian leadership isn't even willing to make peace with its own citizens, let alone Israel or anyone else that doesn't goose-step to their warped ideology. Why do liberals here advocate so strongly for them?

What it's like to be gay in Gaza: Meeting Israelis on dating apps, evading Hamas and plotting escape

Excerpts:
Homosexuals cannot live openly in any Arab society in the Middle East, including in Gaza, the West Bank and Arab cities and villages inside Israel, but this doesn’t mean of course there are no gay men and women in those societies.

Jamil tells about a friend who was imprisoned for three years for being gay, under false accusations of conspiracy with the Palestinian Authority and espionage. He himself spent a month in jail about two years ago – after posting a statement on Facebook in favor of gay rights in Gaza.

“I’m trying so hard to get out of Gaza,” Jamil says.

Why do you advocate for Palestinian leadership such as Hamas, which runs Gaza?

Source please (please link any post from me advocating for Hamas).

For that matter, why are guys like you silent on the issue of how they great gay people?

I do not think there are many here who work to raise awareness about civil rights abuses outside their own countries. It would be a pretty time consuming effort to be comprehensive about it.

There are plenty of liberals here that continuously bash Israel for anything and everything but remain mute on human rights violations by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. You are, in effect, advocating for Hamas when you side with the BDS movement against Israel where, by the way, gay people live openly and thrive. It's the only place in the middle-east where gay people can live "out of the closet".

If I say that white supremacists have the right to peacefully assemble and speak their opinions, that does not mean I am advocating for white supremacy, it means I am advocating for free speech.

I am advocating for free speech.

If you support free speech, then why do you support Hamas? If you support rights for gay people, then why do you support Hamas? If you support rights for women, then why do you support Hamas? Unlike Israel, Hamas supports NONE of those things, yet you advocate positions consistent with Hamas. Why?

Still don't know wtf you're on about. I support the freedom of speech for US citizens as enshrined in our bill of rights. I don't know what Hamas has to do with that.

He didn't have to.

It's interesting that folks like you and him are outspoken against Israel and MUTE on Hamas. Hamas appreciates your support.

I don't support Hamas.

I also support my freedom as an American Citizen to criticize the way Isreal occupies Palestine, even though I don't support Hamas. Nuance exists, whether you're willing to acknowledge it or not.

That's not a point of dispute. The topic is what it's like to live as a gay person in Gaza.

If you wanted to help the Palestinians, you would condemn their corrupt and evil leadership, for starters.

Right. Poland is occupying Germany. When are you going to demand that Poland return formerly German lands to Germany? Just because Germany invaded them and murdered millions of their citizens is no justification for keeping their land, right?

I'm not inclined to participate in your hijacking of my discussion about these government enforced loyalty oaths to Israel.

Your thread is about government enforced loyalty oaths to Israel now? I thought it was what it's like to be gay in gaza...

How do you know I haven't?

I don't think you have a very strong grasp on reality, dude.

BTW, I don't feel compelled to give EVERY SINGLE OPINION of mine on a big dick website. Just when I'm bored enough to waste time. You tell me to calm down, but it seems you're the one who's all riled up and huffy.
