I've noticed this weird false dichotomy amongst Biden supporters where you can either support lgbt people in America or Palestinians. They choose lgbt people in America over the Palestinians. This is the false dichotomy they fell for. My take on this issue is you can care about both and here's why. I dislike Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza war because he mollycoddles Netanyahu to give him everything he wants. The way Netanyahu is waging this war might lead to a greater war in the middle east not just in Lebanon to fight Hezbollah but including Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran and many others. I fear if this war escalates Iran will become more involved. Despite the fact the Iranians have a new reformer president who wants to make peace with the West I fear he might not be able to stop a bigger war. I worry about this since we are backing the Ukrainians fighting Russia and gearing up for a war with China. This will overstretch our abilities to fight in wars. At best Biden has sanctioned illegal Israeli settlers but that's about it. He has not changed the systemic nature of the war and his current policies with Netanyahu might escalate it. I do not want America getting dragged into another war in the Middle East.
We keep mucking around in places we shouldn't be. This will get service members killed (which include lgbt people by the way) and more people in the Middle East killed. In fact, service members have been killed already like in that Tower 22 base in Jordan near the Syrian border. Where they were killed by drones form Iraqi militia groups. That could be a glimpse of things to come. Which is tragic since it's a region that has suffered over 20 years of conflict and is still suffering from it to this day. We have been at war there the majority of my life. Whether in full military might like the invasion of Iraq or special forces doing black ops like in Syria. Call me chickenshit, call me what you will but I am just sick of the wars in the Middle East which our government constantly gets us involved in. Basically, you can care about both lgbt people, and the Palestinians since Biden seems to just sleepwalk us into more wars.
