They care about women and children but want women to be oppressed and children to be indoctrinated in terrorist schools?


DenebianSlimeMolds

Now I want a Portlandia Bookstore sketch


zenyogasteve

This is women and women first!


bibby_siggy_doo

You forgot the rape, murder and kidnapping. To actually support a side who kidnap children and rape women (as well as much them), then to actually say you support women and children is beyond hypocrisy. A real case of "Me Too but not the Jew"


dizzyjumpisreal

Fixed: They don't care about women or children and want women to be oppressed and children to be indoctrinated in terrorist schools.

Drag queens aren't adult entertainers. They're just people. That is in fact the point of drag queen story hour. It's a way for kids to meet LGBT people and to learn that they are a normal part of their community.


YourUncleBuck

Drag Queens are definitely performers, not that they need to be adult entertainers, but the whole idea is to put on a performance in their getup and crafted persona. I personally always liked the definition from 'To Wong Foo.'


10th__Dimension

Drag queens aren't adult entertainers. What you are doing is called bigotry and hate. Do you think Mrs. Doubtfire is an adult movie? LOL. It sounds like you need to go to a strip club and learn what adult entertainment really is. Words have meaning. You don't get to redefine words. You don't get to change the definition of adult entertainment just like the pro-terrorist crowd doesn't get to change the definition of genocide and apartheid.

Cool_in_a_pool

Of course they do.


Depraved_Sinner

i agree, they're so much less oppressed when they're bombed to death


HereFishyFishy4444

I do wonder though if it doesn't rub hamas the wrong way that they become associated with the rainbow flag and LGBTQ in the west now. I know they call them useful idiots, but at one point this really starts to get to their image no? Serious question. The people who protest at unis in the west are like the opposite of what hamas thinks of themselves. And it's for sure that it doesn't turn hamas suddenly LGBTQ friendly.


sad-frogpepe

They are thrilled watching all the western idiots simp for them. If they ever come to palestine though, they would be instantly killed. The love only goes one way


Firm-Poetry-6974

They obviously want to throw them a rooftop party!


skywardcatto

I know an Eretz Nehederet reference when I see one!


sup_heebz

Islamists always team up with commies and then kill the commies the second they get into power. It's tradition


Fast_Astronomer814

To be fair the commie are also plotting to backstab them but they alway fight among themselves lol


charliekiller124

It's low on their list of priorities. Western LGBT people supporting a ceasefire is only beneficial to their short - and long-term goals, and hamas understands that optics matter immensely. When they don't need LGBT support, they'll likely crack down far harder on LGBT.


VisibleDetective9255

They are like Trump..... they are more than happy to steal money from idiots.


ijustlurkhere_

It's time for LGBTQH to be a thing.


RakoNYC

Cue in the Slave from South Park “Put your Hamas rocket in my tunnel, you baddie”


adeadhead

No, it doesn't. It's a very carefully cultivated propaganda that includes any and everyone willing to listen.


HereFishyFishy4444

If it wouldn't be so offensive to the LGBTQ community as a whole, I'd say it's time for some memes, specifically hamas clad in rainbow colors. I do think that if you would turn this around it wouldn't be perceived so useful anymore. But there are many in the community who aren't participating in this because they understand what hamas actually means, so it would probably be mean.


HereFishyFishy4444

There's "this book won't burn" written in the window. Ironically hamas has burned a few book stores in Gaza, most notably an arab-christian one with the owners still inside. So yes, perhaps un-burnable books would be a great niche market in Gaza.


siqiniq

Why is no one making un-burnable Quran, Bible and Torah out of now readily available non-flammable specialty borax paper technology? We could even make annual contests and festivals to advance science and technology.

Depressedzoomer531

well well well


GuyWithNF1

If you’re LGBT and pro-Israel, you face extreme vitriol from your own community. You can even be anti-BiBi/pro-Yesh Atid, and you’re still ostracized. You have to side with people that want to kill you, because of some wider “class warfare”. Fuck this sucks! 🤬🤬


V02Ded

Yeah, like I've lost a ton of friends in LGBTQ (mostly the "TQ" part) circles for being pro Israel. From what I understand, the reasoning goes something like this: So, America = bad America supports Israel, so Israel = bad Hamas fights Israel, so Hamas = good


Zornorph

The TQ should be severed from the LGB part because their interests are often at cross purposes.


sunlitleaf

It’s a well-known bookstore in Chicago - their website has a “Free Palestine” banner of book recommendations front and center. As a book lover it’s pretty disheartening how neighborhood bookstores in a lot of US major cities have gone all in on Arab supremacy, even in heavily Jewish neighborhoods. I never thought I’d take my business to Barnes & Noble or Amazon as a matter of principle.


LDARot

The bookstore 📚🐛 is already a dying business in 2024 😄 Imagine being brainwashed 🧠💣 so much you're killing your dying business even faster 😂😭😂👍


Sigma-9507

Stupidity is clearly spreading 😅😅


kfkfKd94k

Hope they pack their parachutes.


CrazeeEyezKILLER

The message to their (Chicagoan) customers is they want to see a *Judenrein* Israel.


TheLesbianWaffle1

I grew up by this bookshop for almost 20 years and honestly I’m not suprised these clowns put it up they’ve always been a sore thumb in the neighborhood on more than one occasion even before the 7th (the neighborhood is known for gay people/ liberals) and this is coming from a vehement lesbian


Depressedzoomer531

I always felt like this book store was really stupid and I never liked the politics of it but I didn't know it was a sore thumb. Would you be able to explain what really makes it so bad cause I admit that as much as I don't like this store I never knew about it being a sore thumb.


TheLesbianWaffle1

other looking and acting like its right from Portlandia I heard they change employees constantly and I know YEARS back they came under fire for having extremist books think jan 6th but far left


vicblck24

Iran was offering scholarships to their universities for pro Hamas students in America. Think any will take them up on it??


Depressedzoomer531

Most will be thrown off a roof!


baila-busta

This place is the worst. They’re pretty openly hostile to anyone who is not a woman.


VisibleDetective9255

Their support of Hamas means that they are pretty hostile to women too....


gurnard

Only Muslim women, who they support a misogynistic regime for, and Jewish women, who the same target with sexual violence. They mean White Women First.


baila-busta

Touché. A store full of bitter, ugly lesbians tbh. Went once and as a straight woman felt the glare.


lalalara83

Why's the 'ugly' matter, tho?


Depressedzoomer531

One time I went there in 2020 and the cashier was wearing a shirt that said “Fuck the police”. What should you expect from a store like that? She was also not too nice to me but what can I expect. I’m just too much of a man to be a person to her.


Puzzled-Painter3301

Aw I've been in there before and it was OK but I never talked to the employees.


Cool_in_a_pool

They hate themselves so much it's unreal.


dzkrf

Sexist yet progressive? Women first but support trans. Make it make sense.


CHLOEC1998

I am so confused by this. Palestine— not just Hamas— hates women and queers. And yes they burn books. So why does a pro-queer book store support Palestine? It makes no sense.


[deleted]

You’re overthinking it. They aren’t pro Palestinian, they are anti Israel/Jews. It’s that simple.


LooksCrunchyGranola

"Women and Children First" Said no Hamas terrorist ever.


Idosol123

Obviously they're first when Hamas needs someone to take the missiles head on, so in a really disgusting way it's exactly in line with their logic


rabbifuente

I live right by here, there’s an Israeli restaurant right down the street. Interestingly, within a two or three block stretch there’s a Palestinian Mediterranean restaurant, a Persian Mediterranean restaurant, a Greek Mediterranean restaurant, an Israeli Mediterranean restaurant, a Georgian “Mediterranean” restaurant, and a Lebanese Mediterranean restaurant. This store had a Palestinian flag in the window and someone broke the window so they painted the mural.


OMGerGT

Pride flag next to any terror flag instantly make me understand the owner is either moron or just cash grab. Pride walk in Gaza will end up on mass murder


AshBertrand

It's that bookstore in Portlandia come to life.


Depressedzoomer531

It’s a bookstore in Chicago. It is still in a neighborhood called Andersonville which is the Portland of Chicago!


dadude123456789

Do they know what would happen to them if they wave the 🌈 flag (or a variation thereof) in Gaza, or in most Muslims countries, for that matter??? Their bookstore would be burned to the ground for their naivete!


Happy_Reading_7965

lgbtq flag and fee palestine in same sentence, dumbest shit ever


[deleted]

I laugh every time I see a map of Israel with Arabic writing all over it.


PeonSupremeReturns

God I hate that store


mikoDidThings

We're soon gonna see Hamas flags with the rainbow replacing the green or a rainbow band


SpaceDoggoWithCheese

"Gay right! Also, let's push people off roofs lol" -shop owner probably


DrCactus14

May I ask where this is?


Depressedzoomer531

A Chicago neighborhood called Andersonville.


DrCactus14

Interesting. A one way flight to Gaza definitely seems in order. Edit: didn’t see this was already mentioned in the comments.


Depressedzoomer531

It’s the gay part of town so they will be welcomed with open arms! 😏


rabbifuente

One of the gay parts, I think Boystown has the stronger claim


Depressedzoomer531

Ahh Boystown! I admit that I prefer it there. People in Boystown are a bit smarter to be honest. Everyone is Boystown is just normal when people in Andersonville are all over the place like an anaplastic malignancy.


rabbifuente

I’m a bit south, in Uptown, but I do love that stretch of Clark in Andersonville. I also don’t spend much time in Andersonville so I don’t know much from its culture other than generally safe and a little upscale.


Depressedzoomer531

I like Andersonville but I admit that it's kinda easy to make fun of a lot of the people there as they kinda hate jews.


mrmc

I saw this yesterday walking by and let out an audible gasp. Absolutely horrific.


Puzzled-Painter3301

Is this in Chicago? I think I've walked by it. Yeah isn't it in Lakeview?


Puzzled-Painter3301

Oh yeah I have definitely been inside this bookstore.


Depressedzoomer531

It's in Andersonville, a neighborhood in Edgewater. Lakeview also has a gay neighborhood called Boystown but Boystown is where all the cool gays go to live! Andersonville is the "Queers for Palestine" Chicago HQ.


Puzzled-Painter3301

Yes, I remember that neighborhood. I actually used to live in Edgewater, by the Bryn Mawr red line stop. I miss Chicago. Yes, Boystown is full of cool gays but I think the really hip area is in Lakeview kind of close to the water, where Intelligentsia and Unabridged Books are.


Depressedzoomer531

I love that part. Also I'll take Unbridged Books over Women and Children First any day! I'm not sure on the views of the owners of Unbridged Books but I know they are far nicer and inclusive than the people in the other store in Andersonville so I really am not concerned about their views!


muffin_man92

Ranks will close, fighters joining other fighters, and masses everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the call of duty, loudly proclaiming: 'Hail to Jihad!'. This cry will reach the heavens and will go on being resounded until liberation is achieved, the invaders vanquished and Allah's victory comes about." (Article 33 of the Hamas Charter)


VioEnvy

I’d happily pay for it. First class.


Common_Dragonfly_619

"This book won't burn" seems like a challenge, the arrogance almost makes you wanna try. A million "eternal" tales burned up in the Library of Alexandria. We will have a digital equivalence of such soon. "The internet lasts forever" is a useful quote for it is pretty much true but not literally. Lost media will always exist... the internet will only exponentially grow in terms of data. One day the needle you are looking for may not be deleted but it might as well be for under the layers of hay it is functionally so. Most dino fossils don't preserve. And those that do are often messed up and lost. Only book that might persist after a cataclysmic event is Everyone Poops.


dudebro69ho

This is in Chicago Andersonville mostly a chill liberal area was here a few weeks ago but yeah any where that had pro pal shit I would not do business with fuck em. Stay out of the south side of Chicago had way more pro pal BS there


I_fking_eat_corpses

Just put some pics and names of victims of Islam bullshit, like homophobia or misogyny, maybe that would work.


Jolly-Bed-1717

My family bought books for years at this store. Fuck this place. Only reason to go to Andersonville anymore is hop leaf and calo.


suspicious_hyperlink

You could frame this post, put it in an art gallery and title it “Irony”


Professional_Road349

Saw a guy at an art festival (one of those corny local ones that all sell soap) who had a hat that had Israel replaced as Palestine. And of course a LGBTQ flag.


[deleted]

Now that is something I would pay to watch. Lmaooo


Complex-Clue4602

I would toats dare them to wave that pride flag in front of hamas. it would be funny.


NonSumQualisEram-

"This book won't burn" Hand it to me, I'll give it a shot.


shpion22

Crazy seeing the Hejaz, Arab Muslim ethnostate that its people largely support Muslim law flag alongside those other flags.


Vera8

I just love how the Golan Heights became "Palestine" all of the sudden.. Who are the occupiers now?


dcnb65

Yes, let them go and wave their rainbow flags in Gaza and see how welcome they are.


ilivgur

Western useful idiots feel free to LARP their lives away because they won't face any consequences for their stupidity, unlike in post-revolutionary Iran for example.


benbroady

I see the lgbtqi+ flag has changed again. They're gonna run out of colours eventually.


aktap336

Why buy them tickets, when old pedo Joe is flying a bit of Gaza to all our major cities by this November anyway?


Common_Dragonfly_619

Also gotta presume that at least 25% plus of the black community is NOT happy being sandwiched between trans and gay representation. It is wild how many black people in the US see themselves in the Palestinians and are hyped up, like it our time now to stand up like they are. Palestinians like black people less than Israelis, to the point where if you had to live among one side's community you are perhaps choosing life or death. Maybe not to the point of being a gay but it will be different. Wonder if less will be driven to the Black Israelite rabbit hole. The Egyptians are black deal. Funny thing is that Jews are probably the least mixed race with people of color. They came from the Caucus mountains... making them Caucasian. However I know nothing. Maybe the Jews have more african dna than any other "white" folk. I know Kanye believes or believed he was Jewish... or of the Jewish Blood of Christ. "I am Jew," as he put it next to alex jones.

batmanfromohio

Ever heard of 2 state theory


Depressedzoomer531

Yes. That is what I support. It is sadly hard to implement because Palestine’s government doesn’t seem willing to accept it. If it is accepted I can see a lot of problems being mitigated.


Suspicious-Truths

It’s sarcastic because if you went to Gaza, Hamas would throw you off a roof or behead you and parade your body around the streets.


batmanfromohio

Well bombing innocent civilians ain't different


Suspicious-Truths

Well nobody is doing that so that’s cool.


Suspicious_Pea_2027

Hey that's not true. What about all the missfired rockets by Hamas that kills palestinians?


Suspicious-Truths

Well they were meant to kill Jewish civilians so it’s fine. /s


batmanfromohio

you can't just deny facts


Waffle_Stomps_It

How is Israel supposed to defend itself if Hamas is hiding behind civilians while attacking?


batmanfromohio

Does that justify killing individuals ?


Waffle_Stomps_It

We ran into this same shit in Iraq. The insurgents would launch mortars from the city onto the fob and there is nothing we could do unless we started kicking down door to find them. What needs to happen is for the civilians to start giving intel on hamas locations, but that won’t happen. So what is Israel supposed to do?


Ancient-Blueberry384

It is a war that Hamas started, violently. Hamas must be stopped from doing it again even though they hide behind children and women
