If governments were to put as much money into train infrastructure as they do in car infrastructure a train would 100% get you home faster and get rid of all traffic on the roads.
Three points:
-
Palestine is not as backwards as Westerners think and just assuming that gay people do not exist there openly without any actual proof is orientalist. I personally know openly queer Palestinians from Gaza.
-
The fact that not all queer people are out openly does not mean they don’t exist and it does not mean that they aren’t being targeted by Israel. IDF soldiers are targeting queer Palestinians and torturing them in heinous ways because they are queer.
-
The point of Israel killing and targeting queer people in their war is made to connect it to the queer struggle as it’s a clear example of intersectionality. Pride is for the queers worldwide, that includes Palestinian queers who are currently struggling the hardest.
Killing and torturing gay and trans Palestinians is more likely the reason why Israel isn’t very popular in the queer community.
That’s not an axiom or definition, it’s a consequence of the axioms that define arithmetic and can therefore be proven.

Do you realise how pathetic you sound? Women are told to shut their mouth and keep their opinions to themselves all the fucking time. It’s time for men like you to realise that sometimes yeah you should shut up and yeah your opinion is less important than the lived experience of women when it comes down to sexism and SA. Educate yourself please before you embarrass yourself even more.
Invisible women is a great book to start. Very easy to read and full of interesting statistics.

There are doors on the side. I think the front doors are for when 2 trams are connected so you can walk from one to the other.
What an adorable bottle of death
If there’s an exception to a rule then it’s not a cut and dry rule. If slavery is illegal except when it affects certain people then it’s not illegal overall.
I have friends in Gaza and I’m really fucking scared for their life’s. In fact, I have been scared for them a long time because Israel is bombing civilian buildings regularly. Yes it’s terrible what Hamas is doing to Israeli civilians, punishing Gazan civilians is not the answer. I hate the Israeli government for what they’re doing to my friends. A lot of the people out there protesting have friends and family in Gaza and are very afraid as well.
In polarising conflicts as these it is very important to look at the human side of things and to not condemn a whole group of people for what a small group is doing. I have much compassion for Israeli people who are afraid right now. But I also understand the need to speak out about an ethnic cleansing that is possibly about to happen by the Israeli government. Just look at the Amnesty International reports about the situation in Israel and occupied Palestinian territories. Humanitary crimes have been happening for years and years without any intervention, killing and hurting people on a much bigger scale than what hamas is doing right now. It is impossible to deny the hypocrisy by the west.
Do you think a concert starting on time when not everyone who bought a ticket has arrived yet is ableist?
