>Of course, some genuinely care about the Palestinian people and don't approve of Hamas, but a shocking number seem to have not considered the issue at all. I want to be clear that Israel has problems and I'm not saying that they are perfect; it is a very complex issue but many are unable to see it with nuance.
Since I kind of knew we would be circling this I'll try and tread carefully, I agree nuance is important.
Let's look at this from an abstract, if "queers for palestine" is farcical it's worth asking, how has it come into being, there had to be something that engendered it (sorry couldn't resist), that the group even exists should immediately flag a question of "why" and if they are upset about something, what is that, and how did they arrive at that conclusion, I'd argue that there's just as much nuance in that that you might be overlooking. Clearly something has gone south for someone if a group on a different continent is agitating for them
