    You’re joking right? There are literal laws all over the middle east in Islamic run nations about stoning people, just type stoning and middle east(ps this doesnt exclude Israel, they’ve arrested their own who have done it) into Google and you’re going to get a ton of results. Why is this shocking? Sharia law has it as a form of punishment.

    In recent times, stoning has been a legal or customary punishment in Iran, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen, northern Nigeria, Afghanistan, Brunei, and tribal parts of Pakistan, including northwest Kurram Valley and the northwest Khwezai-Baezai region though it is rarely carried out.[1][2][3][4] In some of these countries, including Afghanistan, it has been carried out extrajudicially by militants, tribal leaders, and others.[2] In some other countries, including Nigeria and Pakistan, although stoning is a legal form of punishment, it has never been legally carried out. Stoning is condemned by human rights organizations.

          They weren’t stoned for being lgbtq though is the point. Israel is also homophobic and transphobic. It’s a common tactic by the IDF to kidnap and record gay people having sex so that they can blackmail them into becoming informants. I guess all of Israel all Jewish people are homophobic then? That is the logic you use. The logic of a racist.

            You didnt ask for that, you asked for anyone being stoned. Way to move the goal post. You have also now brought in more whatsboutism of what Israels military does, they’re shit to, it doesn’t magically make the middle east and Islam a friend to LGBT persons.

          There is a huge fucking difference between a hate crime and stoning as legal punishment.

            Uhh…who said it wasn’t? You or someone asked for an article on stoning in Palestine… I provided said article and now goal posts are being moved around.

              I’m not that person, so I won’t argue their point.

              I am making a different point, that has to do with Palestine as a whole, not about individual criminals.

      Not joking at all. Don’t show me a Wikipedia article, show me a newspaper article about someone being stoned in Palestine.

        Hamas doesn’t really do stonings, so you appear to be correct. It looks like just about every execution committed by Hamas involved a firing squad, most often performed in public.

        Hamas does torture and execute people for suspicion of being gay, though, even their own commanders.

        Free Palestine. Fuck the IDF and Hamas.

          Yeah that was my point. It’s not that Arab societies are like super progressive and Palestinian people are suddenly angels just because they are victims of genocide. It’s just that doing stonings is an archaic practice that doesn’t exist in the Levant. Like people might be very conservative and live in authoritarian societies, but they still live in the 21st century and they don’t want that shit.

          That being said Hamas absolutely sucks, they are violent, corrupt dictators and while they currently are the biggest armed resistance against the ongoing colonization they shouldn’t have any place in a free Palestine.

          So we’re talking about stoning people that’s allegedly happening due to violations of sharia law and you bring up a story from 2001 so probably during the second intifada about an incident involving illegal Israeli settlers.

          I wanted to assume that you maybe just don’t know better but this is just bad faith from your side.

            O I’m sorry that it’s a story from 2001 does that magically make it false now? Goal posts really keep getting pushed further and further…

              Keep trying. This has nothing to do with stoning people as a punishment based on religious laws, for example for being trans. Which you claimed would be a common practice in Palestine. An unresolved incident involving illegal Israeli settlers during the second intifada inside the occupied West Bank has nothing to do with that. You’re the one moving goalposts, more like spreading false information and you know it.

                You mean how I’ve continued to post links from legitimate sources providing proof of what I have been saying and you all have been replying with “not like that”…
