She's right that I don't want to go to Gaza. But the question is WHY don't I want to go to Gaza? Hint: it's something that's been in the news recently.

I'll take the downvotes.

I wouldn't have wanted to go in the first place, before the October attacks, which I think is the point this airhead is trying to make. As a bisexual genderfluid bottom that presents femme, the Palestinian regime would be hostile towards me. Realistically, I will never have any interest in traveling to any theocratic country.

What Boebert actually doesn't understand is that I don't fucking care. I don't care if Palestinians would accept me, or if I'd get stoned to death if I made the mistake of going. What Israel is doing is wrong, and I am morally opposed to it. The fact that I don't really care about the tenets of the group that is being slaughtered, that I don't have a ton of respect for the communities being forced from their homes, none of it is going to prevent me from supporting Palestine through this and demanding Israel stop their senseless violence. Genocide is wrong, end of story. That Boebert thinks you need any more reason to protest is the real story here.

Scary Brown People. Also, crime. Also, non-Christian Religions. Also, plus, too, poverty which should be bombed off the face of the earth.

I am a conservative and I am very smart.
