    I think that at some point recently that has been what leadership in Hezbollah said about its own policies, but in Gaza (as far as I’ve been able to find) it is not actually criminalized, but queer people also don’t have any sort of protection as social minorities and there’s obviously a lot of social stigma among some groups.

    I don’t really see how one gets to “Hamas would be largely in favor of killing lesbians” except by accepting the racialized propaganda spread by Israel and its Zionist supporters that conflates Hamas with groups like ISIS. Maybe I’m wrong, I’m certainly not an expert on the issue, but the closest thing I saw to that had to do with Palestinians forming (or trying to form) relationships with IDF soldiers, which I think we can agree has a little more to it.
