Probably not much at this particular point in time unless you mean getting blown up by rocket fire

The meme is meant to get something similar across. The people who ask questions like that somehow seem to expect all the suffering people there are going through to be ignored or something.

I understand it to a degree. There are radical Muslims who do not do great things to gay people, but the majority of civilians who reside or resided there previously have not given evidence of any wrongdoing of that nature, but are getting blown up anyway. And blasted on the internet as dangerous Muslims

Sounds like you understand it for the full 360 degrees.

Obviously religious dogma and hate is bad

Obviously not everyone part of a religion interprets and lives by it the same way.

Obviously actual warcrimes and being systematically murdered for potential rather than proven evil is way way worse.

Dear people reporting this meme. The meme is that we (HOPEFULLY) don't agree with smug neckbeards spouting shitty arguments. The background shows the reality of what living in Gaza rn looks like (i.e. your sexuality doesn't come into play when you're getting bombed by the IOF). This has been your critical thinking lesson of the day, please continue to have more.

The basement dwellers reporting this probably are those same neckbeards with that argument. It's a major blow to their concern-trolling about a "gay genocide". They just hate it when the subtext of "white gay genocide is the only worrying genocide" gets called out. Specially in based rainbow spaces.

If I was gay in gaza I wouldn't care if the bomb that killed me had a pride flag or if the tank driving over my home had a pride flag

People always use that argument like it isn't dangerous being gay, trans, etc. in the US. don't throw stones in glass houses
