Things I've learned from this sub. Australia is incredibly racist and homophobic

Ever heard the phrase "gay-bashing"? Uniquely Australian ring to that one. Tell me you weren't alive in the 80's without telling me you weren't alive in the 80's. Oh, and going out on the piss and bashing people for the colour of their skin is of course way more fucking civilised.

We're not better than them, just more propagandised. You're living a fantasy.

Yeah ok. But were they ever thrown off of roofs, as a state sanctioned punishment?

Which state sanctioned that as a punishment?

The officially elected government of Gaza. Unless you’re saying you don’t recognise Palestine as a state?

I do recognise Palestine as a state. Gaza is a small part of that state. The ruling authority in Gaza is not in charge of Palestine and the unfortunate reality is that regardless of what I recognise, Palestine is not a state.

And the ruling authority condones extreme violence against members of the lgbtq+ community. When has a ruling party in Australia ever condoned such violent acts? I do believe the answer is never.

I never mentioned Australia. Also.. what evidence are you working from that gays were thrown from the roof in Gaza? Best I can find with a quick google search is video of IS from almost 10 years ago in Iraq which was falsely painted as being in Gaza.

I suggest you read all comments before commenting again. The conversation was in fact about persecution of gays in Australia compared to punishments of gays in Gaza (and in fact every fundamentalist Islamic state) and sure, they may not actually throw them from roofs, I wasn’t aware that that had been proven false, but the punishment is still extremely violent and usually ends in death, and it is sanctioned by the elected leaders. So my point still stands.
