So are you contending that gay people should be openly supportive of Isreal, a country actively engaged in a genocide?

No, as evidenced when I said "Me when people are cheering on Iran, a country that literally executes gay people" instead of "Gay people should be openly supportive of Israel". As you did not read what I wrote, I did not read your further paragraphs about something I did not say.

If you can't understand why your post comes across as potentially saying people should support Israel then you probably shouldn't be speaking out on issues like this.

When you say to someone, "Oh, you support [thing]???" In a negative way, and that thing is something that is diametrically opposed to another thing, it is almost always going to come across as implying support for the diametrically opposed thing. Your reply then comes off as a very bad faith response at best, if not a full stumble into narcissism.
