Queer for Palestine seems not compatible for certain people

In this current climate, people are more aware with the genocide that is happening in Palestine. America is the firearms supplier for Israel and now their civilian’s more open to supporting the Free Palestine movement, including LGBT+ community. I often times saw people in the community was asking about how some of the Queer are willing to support middle east country who will punish them to be who they are. Here’s what I am going to say, you and your sexuality are the least problem that need to be address in Palestinians’ long list issues. The most important thing in there is how they are going to be alive and have enough food for their children tomorrow. They don’t have time for you, they literally need to addressing on how can they make a guest leaving their country. Middle east countries are not giving any care with what are you doing with your body as long as you are not living in there. Yes, some of them will prejudice and punish LGBT+ community since they are sticking with their belief strictly and if you ask me, that’s the normal thing religious people would do. They are belief with God’s rules and avoid the prohibited behaviors. Muslims were not making those rules. It is the same with Christianity. Why do you think there is need to be a movement to uplifting the LGBT+ rights in America. Maybe since America baseline is the nation under the God’s rules.
From what I am gathered, you don’t need any label to support the human right to live. You don’t have to be feminist to uplifting women who were got discriminate, you don’t need to attending Black Lives Matter rally in order to against racism or racial supremacist, you don’t need to be a Muslim to assisting Palestine. We don’t need to segregating person with another person by putting them to boxes when it comes to humanity.
As far as I am concerned, I don’t necessarily agree with the argument that queer can’t have a hand in or shouldn’t have supported Palestine. Everybody can take a part in Free Palestine movement; it is inclusive for everyone from any types of background they have. If someone was preventing them to participate on Palestine side, it will come to a conclusion that they have to support Israel because they need to choose which the side of the fence they want to engage.
Now think if you are Christian, I want you to realize that another Christian people in Palestine was being murdered nor their church has been bombed. Do you still let it slide such as it is not your responsibility to help them or at least pray for them. We can saw from the tragedy refugee camp in Rafa, Israel’s soldiers were brutally murdering those innocent unarmed people nor they’re appropriating by making jokes whilst they are bombarding them. They were trying to saving the hostage, but 3 of them were got murdered by their own troops. How ironic it was. I don’t think their intention was to getting back their civilians’ alive, but instead they were using them to either make an excuse or making a bait in order to banish those people in Rafa.
The root problem with Israelis is racial supremacist. Saying Palestinians’ value is under the Jewish people in Israel is a massive problem whether they were said it explicitly or implicitly. It is important for all of us who are living on this earth to learn more about Muslims, Palestine, the historic of middle east countries. You can actually ask Muslims and they will be elaborating what is meant to be Muslim. It is kind of odd when people are interviewing ex-Muslim as the foundation of their arguments. Their statements’ is not relevant. Of course, you will hear their struggling to be a Muslim, prejudice towards Muslims, how difficult to live among Muslims if the resources you were using is formed Muslims.
