They block pretty much every event, but starts crying when their events are being blocked.

Reassuring that you are SO certain this, and everything else on Palestine.

If you are relying on some Xitter account to prove your point, then at least address the point. I never said "Gaza has the death penalty".

I like you Frank but you have gone full Trump absolutist on your support of Hamas.
I don't like Hamas, Schlong.
Take them to the ICC with Israel.

But this debate isn't about Hamas, its another attempt to justify the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza through right wingers, who are notoriously anti LGBTQ themselves, declaring that Hamas is even worse than they are.

Pride was shut down for the same reason universities are being protested, their board won't divest.
If you want to help the LGBTQ in Gaza you need to help stop the genocide first and then work towards ending the occupation so there is no need for a militant resistance and Hamas can fade away into the past.

You've chosen to side with Israel on this issue and I'm really not sure why.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece
“Police said they had “adequate resources to address the protest,” but were respecting Pride Toronto’s request that officers not interfere if protesters disrupted the parade, police spokesperson Laurie McCann told the Star.”

It sounds like the Pride organizers didn’t want the event marred by scenes of Palestinian protesters getting dragged away by the police (which I suspect was what the protesters wanted).
If this is true, then why even have a parade?

How long before these disruptive hooligans show up at baseball games? Should the Jays just stop playing home games?

It’s already happening. Climate protesters stormed the field during the Jays home game against the Yankees last week.

Because Israel will kill you with bombs.
Everyone has to hide in Gaza.
Yes, everything would be milk and honey for the Palestinian Arabs in that forsaken desert today if it weren't for the damn jews invading and ruining things for everyone, eh?

Zionists, schlong.

Prior to zionists Palestine was a much more pluralistic society, as were most Arab states.
Zionists are just like Putin in Ukraine, only way, way worse.

Even Putin isn't doing genocide, really, everyone should be protesting against genocide.

Hey look, Palestinian protesters made the news again!
That makes it a successful protest.
yuuuup! people don’t understand the point of protests is to BE KNOWN. Not to mention just like a lot of pride flags are waved during the Palestinian protests, it was a lot of LGBT people protesting for Palestine, including queers4palestine group. Liberation is connected, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸❤

Palestine is a Muslim country, I am sorry but what did you expect? It is not fair by any means, but it’s blatantly obvious and unexpected that they have these rules. Firstly, anyone who is a Palestinian, and a part of the LGBTQ community, would unequivocally tell you that it does not matter what the rights around gay people in Gaza are when Gazans as a whole are being murdered. Second, literally everyone knows that Palestine would not support the gays, Queers4Palestine, as well as all queers know this. They choose to support the cause because they support the cause, so again, it literally does NOT matter what the Palestinians think of Gay people. Finally, Gaza is not the only Homophobic country in the world, in fact a google search shows how many LGBTQ people say that they have been subjected to much worse cruelty than usual in occupied Palestinian territories now that Benjamin Netanyahu has taken over the government that calls itself Israeli.

Hmm...Israel supports the LGBTQ and in fact have their own annual parade. I think you are confused.

Then whats the point of these parades? How ironic...
Again, you are being purely ignorant. “The point of the parades is to BE KNOWN” the original comment you replied to. That is the point, why can’t you comprehend that? Every time someone is interrupted by the protests, they become more aware of how serious the cause is. Every time it’s on the news, or someone is talking about it with a friend, it fosters the opportunity for a conversation, and for education. The protests show that we will not give up, there are people in Gaza who thank people around the world and the students in the encampments. It’s on social media and it’s beautiful it truly brings tears to my eyes. Secondly, I think you made a mistake because I said everyone knows people in Palestine don’t support LGBT. The point of the protests isn’t to tell people they don’t support, so where did the protests come into your second comment. Please don’t come w to me with your bs, you don’t make sense and truly I don’t care about educating you if you don’t want to learn. I hope you have a lovely rest of your day, take care love. ❤
