This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.

    In Egyptian, I live in the US. I meet Palestinians everyday, there are Palestinians in my family. Palestine for you is an issue that popped up about a 2 years ago, for me it’s been the struggle of generations. I have family members that have died in wars about this matter, thrown in prison and tortured. You don’t understand what it’s like to actually be in danger, so shut the fuck up. You are used to not having backlash whereas I’ve seen doors broken down and hoods thrown over people’s faces over Facebook posts.

    If it gets out that you sent some emails, who gives a shit. There is no risk for you, for me there is, therefore it’s imperative that I don’t discuss what I do, or don’t do on the Internet. Emails aren’t really that important, voting is far more important yet when that right is exercised people like you and the other guy bitch about it.

      Why are you lying about me? I’ve had a close Palestinian friend since I was six years old.

          I literally fled the U.S. this week because my lesbian daughter’s life is at risk. If it got out that she’s queer under Trump in a year or so, it’s going to be straight to a camp.

          So yeah, my life is not in danger, just my daughter’s. Which is not a problem for me at all, right?

          (If this conversation goes as they often do, it’s now your turn to claim that queer people are in no danger under Trump.)

              Yep, that’s what I thought. You think there’s only one genocide that matters.

              The queer genocide started before Trump got into office. You just obviously don’t give a shit what happens to queer people.
