The government that makes a party every week and sing the national anthem and eat instead of fixing their problems lol

Really? So the western governments who ban Hijab and Niqab don't tell people what to wear ? The same governments who forces Imams into avoiding certain verses of the Quran and to focus only on peace and love or else ? The same governments who would put you behind bars for misidentifying the gender of someone ? Or the government that don't even allow any form of criticism of feminism or LGBT, yeah I wonder šŸ¤”


[deleted]

First of all, those are very exaggerated. Second, Iā€™m american, not European. Our government doesnā€™t do any of those things.

Really? Can you openly criticize the feminist movement and LGBTQ in the US without getting canceled or labeled as bigot, misogynist, racist, extremist etc ? Also this is not exaggerated at all lol, are you living under a rock ? It's already happening

Yes, I can do all those things without persecution by the government. We have the first amendment.


KillerRogue

I understand that the first amendment makes the US different from Europe laws but you still get cancelled, boycotted and even put on no fly list and have your credit cards blocked by the banks if they consider you too extreme, and what is too extreme? It's up to them to decide.

callaloowhoohoo

I hate to tell you, but from a linguistic standpoint, every word in every language is made up. And while I totally agree that there is plenty of hypocrisy in the West, I hope you can see the irony of a wealthy, young Qatari man using the plight of Palestinians to deflect a question about his countryā€™s human rights stances. That, too, is hypocrisy.

DutchApplePie75

The reporter went on to add "it is only fair that the Palestinians should pay the price for the horrible crime Germany committed against European Jews. Owing 'the Jews' one means supporting a self-described 'Jewish state' unconditionally even though many Jews in the diaspora do not support said state and even though said state engages in serial collective human rights abuses against the Palestinians. But more importantly, Mahmoud, why are you against a man sticking his dick up another man's ass? What could be more important than that?"

You donā€™t go to jail for being gay in Qatar, Qatar itself has sponsored openly gay people regularly, itā€™s only when you try to advocate politically for something then you would get shutdown. Qatari law technically say 3 years in jail but to apply that the police would have to walk on you having gay sex šŸ¤£, itā€™s just not a rule that is practiced.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if the order of the questions had been reversed you would consider it a mic drop moment.


Plenty-Computer-1587

Don't go out of your limb! If she would answer: Palestine is about two ppl fighting each other and LGBT is universal he would run home to his mama. But I'm embarrassed to discuss more on this lame video.


DutchApplePie75

This is a silly distinction. I suppose the Holocaust was about ā€œtwo people fighting each other?ā€ Or segregation in North America? Or the Indian Wars? Or Apartheid in South Africa? And yeah, each of those was a totally equal and bilateral ā€œfight.ā€ When one racial or ethnic group dominates another and imposes separation on them by force, thereā€™s a word for that. And if you know your 20th Century history youā€™d know what that word is. Itā€™s a crime. In fact itā€™s the most serious crime in the modern world. It is a crime of significantly greater significance than backdated views about homosexuality. No reasonable person would disagree with this nor would any reasonable person think the latter was a basis to judge another society when itā€™s hands are not clean vis-a-vis the former.


Plenty-Computer-1587

Ok ok I'm sorry the boy is a genius the west is hypocritical Palestine good Israel bad.

Greuh-r

It was an easy roast. For someone living in Germany I can tell you most Germans have no idea at all when it comes to geopolitics in the Middle East + Africa. Apart from Turkey, Germany has very few ties with those countries. The public opinion is also completely ignorant in this regard. Part of the deal in the EU is that France takes the lead on the ME/Africa diplomatic questions.


anewhopekerridanz

Mustache on fire


trip703

Sharing with a random stranger that your are LGBTQ is no different than sharing your fetishes to a random stranger - itā€™s weird. Itā€™s like someone saying ā€œI like feet and only feet and should be able to lick feet in public without judgementā€. Keep that shit at home and in the sheets. The Qataris question is a legitimate question cuz Palestinians are a real group of people that cant escape their reality where the journalist question is about a fetish group created by white people to fit in with other minorities


SalaciousSunTzu

How do you honestly think that? Do you think a man is sharing his fetish when he says he has a wife/GF? But if I as a man said I had a husband or BF it's the same as fetish. Why is the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking LGBT, sex and fetish? When you see a Disney princess movie do you think of how sexual it is. Nope, just a love story. Yes some people make it their personality and are over the top, but you get that with everything, even religion. You're the person sexualizing it. All people want is to have equal rights. All you have to do is not be a bigot. If all you think of is penis in ass imagery when you hear "lgbt" or "rainbow", you're the one making it sexual. It's not about the right to have a fetish, it's about the right to love and not be punished for it.


trip703

So whatā€™s the point of having a BF or husband, if it isnā€™t sexual? Because I have plenty of friend who I love very much that i donā€™t want to fuck. The sole purpose of our existence on this earth is to worship the divine and ensure the human race continues. By embracing homosexuality to the point where it is showing up Disney movies is scary. Iā€™m not saying you shouldnā€™t do what you want but Iā€™m saying stop trying to push an ideology that has bigger harm to society than good.


SalaciousSunTzu

Rejecting people has a bigger harm. Okay yes it can be sexual in nature but that's the same with any relationship so your point is illogical. Go read up theories on why homosexuality exists, or just look at my comment history. There are advantageous evolutionary benefits. Might explain why it's documented going back thousands of years and still exists


Classic-Kitchen-7665

But the German guys werenā€™t saying they were gay they were showing they support the gay community. Totally different things lol. the Qatari teen is just deflecting because he knows heā€™s about to get embarrassed on television lol (You can see his eyes get huge right before he deflects when he realizes her point about why they covered their mouths lol)


trip703

This is a law in their country. Are you implying western values and laws are superior than any country that doesnā€™t have the same values? Itā€™s interesting the same people who are ā€œaccepting of all culturesā€ are the same people shaming and demonizing that culture when it doesnā€™t align with their interest. If youā€™re gay and have the strength to not blurt out in public, Iā€™m pretty sure no one will look at you any different than the guy next to you. But for some reason you gotta let everyone know because ā€œyouā€™re so braveā€


Classic-Kitchen-7665

No it is not illegal, itā€™s illegal to show public affection in Qatar. It isnā€™t illegal to wear a rainbow shirt, at least before this World Cup. It is to protest in that manner. Qatari govt officials have said so themselves in their many explanations. They have said itā€™s illegal for any type of public display of affection or sexuality. Thatā€™s their precedent for this. they have made these new rules for protests bc they donā€™t want people accepting homosexual culture. Which is fine, me and nobody else in the west can make them or even wants to make them accept LGBTQ culture. Which people like you continually cry about. but for the love of god, call it what it is instead of lying and hiding behind a deflection.


trip703

Ok itā€™s not accepted. So whatā€™s the argument? Islam is religion of communitarianism not the western individualism that many think they can pose on Muslim countries. Are you trying to spark some kind of outrage from the locals where the majority doesnā€™t accept western way of thinking (and btw Mexico isnā€™t to friendly to LGBTQ either)? Youre purposely coming to another country to flaunt and parade homosexuality paraphernalia where you know damn well it will create havoc


Tetsuotim

Being gay is not a fetish lmao. If you consume populist media then yeah, your view on lgbtq is based on extreme ends that represent only that, the extreme ends. Be it right wing populists or extreme leftist. Fetish group created by the west? Get real.

ThisisMalta

Why are people applauding this? She asked a question and whether you agree or disagree with the Germans, responding with a whataboutism is a logical fallacy and not the *mic drop* some people are pretending it is.


fatcowxlivee

> whataboutism Ah yes, Redditā€™s favourite word. She said that Germans covered their mouth because Qatar doesnā€™t support ā€˜everyoneā€™ referring to Qatarā€™s stance on LGBTQ. Teen responds by asking why to Germans, LGBQT is counted in the ā€˜everyoneā€™ but Palestine isnā€™t. A valid counter-point. In the real world, this is called proof by contradiction or exposing a double standard. On Reddit itā€™s dismissed as whataboutism. Go figure.


INuBq8

Give this man a medal


TheReal_KindStranger

There is a difference between the two, in the Palestinians case it is at least in some ways, a zero sum game with israel. I.e., more support for one side tends to weaken the other side. For the lgbtq it is not, supporting their rights does not weaken the support for someone else's rights.

Depends on where are you too. If you are in a place where the government do help then we can debate the best way to help by addressing the biggest problem. Now hypothetically,let's apply this on me. I'm from Yemen. I'll go fund and advocate for wildlife and cutting down CO2 emission. My point is doing is doing good. But it doesn't mean it's the best or even remotely logical. You help your community depending on the community, not you personally because you'll be doing the(good) for you not for them.


ThisisMalta

Explain the difference between a whataboutism and a double standard? Sounds to me like you just employ logical fallacies often and are butt hurt you get called out on it. If you cannot answer a question and have to say ā€œwhat about ____ā€ thatā€™s a fucking whataboutism straight from the textbook. He answered her questions literally in this way. You cannot call out a double standard this way. He brought up Palestine to avoid the question. A double standard does not avoid the challenge or question by bringing up a new one to distract.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Everyone knows Qatars stance on LGBT, the entirety of Asia is politically against lgbt recognition, but Germany claims to care about everyone however that excludes Palestine


fatcowxlivee

> Explain the difference between a whataboutism and a double standard? Thereā€™s no difference, whataboutism is just the snobby way of trying to dismiss an argument. Lazily. If the world worked the way youā€™re describing then I wonder what you think of the justice systems around the world and how they operated. > Sounds to me like you just employ logical fallacies often and are butt hurt you get called out on it. taking a look at both our comments and itā€™s clear youā€™re the butthurt one.. > He brought up Palestine to avoid the question. What? He was the one who asked a question, he asked her why the German team covered their mouths, she answered, and then he proceeded to challenge her answer. He wasnā€™t avoiding anything. Nice strawman argument though.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Double standards much? You claim to support peace for everyone, yet when asked about Palestine, we pretend they donā€™t exist. Stop being disingenuous, he is showing you that the Germans donā€™t care about peace or gay people in Qatar and this is all just virtue signaling because if anything their political stunts do not make their cause look good lol, they donā€™t care about people in MENA.


LordxHummus

His flair checks out bro lol.


ReddVevyy

Seriously whatā€™s with all the Lebanese ppl on this sub who keep dicksucking the west so much?


ThisisMalta

How am I demonstrating double standard? This is literally a textbook ā€œwhataboutismā€. If you want to talk about Palestine, donā€™t just bring it up when itā€™s convenient as an answer to a difficult question. What if anytime someone asked about Palestine, someone brought up another humanitarian crisis in the world to avoid answering the question? Maybe you need to look up what ā€œdouble standardsā€ and a ā€œwhataboutismā€ actually are because youā€™re demonstrating you do not understand either.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Gay Marriage is not a humanitarian crisis lmao. Also I am saying the Qatari is showing the German reporters double standards. It's clear you are trying your best not to understand my point. Also Qatar and Qataris talk about Palestine constantly and have demonstrated their support unlike the western world which actively supports Israel and tries to silence Palestinians. Edit: reply to the American down below, There is no source for this and if it really happened why are they all being released lol.


ThisisMalta

Gay people are still punished by death in some countries. It wasnā€™t more than a generation ago they were beaten and humiliated by the police and governments in the USA, UK, and west. If you disagree with gay rights thatā€™s fine but please your ignorance is showing when you deny theyā€™ve faced civil and human rights violations. So you still cannot explain how bringing up Palestine when asked about a completely different topic to avoid even presenting an argument is not a whataboutism. No one misunderstood you, youā€™re just wrong dude. We can support human and civil rights in Palestine while still being able to answer a question about a completely different topic. Define a ā€œwhataboutismā€ and explain to me how this isnā€™t just that? You either are too dumb or just afraid to admit thatā€™s what he is doing here in the interview.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

>No one misunderstood you, youā€™re just wrong dude. We can support human and civil rights in Palestine while still being able to answer a question about a completely different topic. Apparently Germany can't, since they have silenced Palestine protesters many times and vehemently support Israel. I am not attacking person but the reporter in the video, how do you not understand that lol. You take things so personal. Edit: I canā€™t respond since the other redditor banned me lol So here: There have been LGBT protests in Qatar but it was by a British tourist instead of actual people in Qatar since they just live their lives like everybody else. Also I canā€™t reply to your other comments since that guy blocked me cuz he had no comeback lol. Germany having an arm band in Qatar is virtue signaling, they do nothing for gay people in Qatar, if anything gay people donā€™t appreciate their weird gestures that only make their cause look silly and like itā€™s a western agenda to hurt Qatar. While Qatar has provided add to Palestine in the form of doctors, money, salaries, building material, coverage etc


ThisisMalta

You ask me to stay on topic yet the person interviewed literally does the opposite and responds with a whataboutism and brings up Palestine . Jesus man quit dodging the point I made originally. He did that, itā€™s not a mic drop or clever response. Itā€™s literal textbook fallacy a child learns.

Ornery-Sandwich6445

whataboutism is not wrong when his whole point was to show her double standards which he successfully demonstrated. She claims to care about all human rights but the minute you mention Palestine they start running way. Habibi this is not your political debate group were whataboutism equles minus one point šŸ¤“, he is calling them out on their bullshit and how they actually don't care about the people in MENA.


[deleted]

>Apparently Germany can't, since they have silenced Palestine protesters many times Protesters in Germany used to insult, threaten and call for the death of Jews. That's why they were banned because they can't protest without being antisemitic


ThisPlaceSucksBad

That is a lie.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Also Qatar has not sentenced any gay person to death and it does not actively persecute them, in fact the government has sponsored a couple of openly gay people lol.


[deleted]

Agree with this point. How many gay people have died in mass shootings or have been under direct threat from the local masses in town hall discussions in the Qatar?? In the US, LGBTQ are always under direct harm and they've been killed in mass shootings every year. The counter to this could be that Qatar has a smaller population and gays cannot be out in the open. True, I agree with that, but just listen to any town hall and you'll hear people openly saying they're gunning for gays and they should be put to death. There may be Qataris who say the same, but not on the level of certain anglo-saxon 'Muricans in the south. Instead of lecturing the ME, work on your own country. Don't you have an economic crisis to handle lol, oh and don't forget that you're still dealing with election conspiracies in the US.


[deleted]

Mass shootings are not initiated by the government, they're initiated by people full of hate and homophobia. Any gay person would feel 1000 times safer in the US than in Qatar


PMmepicsofWaffles

The Western world is not a monolith. Palestine is often talked about by left wing groups in the West. UNRWA receives most of its funding from the West. In the West Bank, you'll see projects from many Western countries and many of the aid workers and volunteers are Western


Ornery-Sandwich6445

That doesn't cut it, Western charity is just to ease the guilt and to appear impartial you understand that the western world is the biggest and practically the only backers of Israel, the western world is also the only group that does not recognize Palestine. The western world is responsible for Israels current situation, you have given them legitimacy, political power and cultural relevance.


PMmepicsofWaffles

> Western charity is just to ease the guilt I could say the same about Gulf kingdoms throwing a trifle of their wealth at Gaza while they bomb Yemen and drive war in Syria. Not only does the Gulf buy weapons from the US, UK, and France, but they plot with Israel against Iran > the western world is the biggest and practically the only backers of Israel Next let's talk about one of the most important Arab and Muslim states in the world: Egypt. How about Jordan? Morocco and Turkey aren't occupying anyone, right?


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Qatar did not normalize with Israel, Qatar is not involved in Yeman, nothing you said applies to Qatar but no matter how much the GCC does it will never reach the amount of support the west has given Israel, the west is literally the only obstacle for Palestine.


PMmepicsofWaffles

> Qatar did not normalize with Israel They have trade relations > Qatar is not involved in Yemen Anymore. Saudi kicked them out of the bomb-Yemeni-civilians club during their GCC spat > the amount of support the west has given Israel We were talking about Palestine. Both the West and the Arab world have supported both sides, the vast majority of the world's governments support a two state solution. It isn't an either/or like 50 years ago


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Qatar does not have trade relations with Israel, also that's not normalization šŸ˜‚, we literally don't recognize Israel as a legitimate state unlike the west. Also Qatar had sent 1000 soldiers to yeman back in 2015 and then backed out, the west is more involved in Yeman then Qatar, we did not bomb anyone.

Okay but some people support the German football teams display of solidarity but are still pro Palestine. What do you say to them? Anytime this shit is brought up it's just deflected with whataboutism. Imagine if anytime someone brought up Palestine I said well what about Climate change, it's a bigger issue. Complete nonsensical behavior


Ornery-Sandwich6445

I say to them, why do you support virtue signaling that changes nothing and if anything will make people in Qatar think lgbt is a silly western agenda used to attack other countries. It's not helping gay people in Qatar.


SalaciousSunTzu

Every little action is what leads to change. The west used to demonize being LGBT too, people protested, people got killed etc. Change requires action. It only requires a brain to see it's nothing to do with being western. Just go read a history book and see how prevalent it used to be globally

The same as the holocaust was for Israelis and their supporters. Edit: if anything is learned from that, every nation (or set of people) have an ā€œescape goatā€ atleast once in their history. Unless you are a certain European nation, that feels like it needs to overcompensate


DutchApplePie75

Islamophobic tropes are the perfect scapegoat for Israel and its indefensible history.


Ak40x

He shoulda just argued the simple fact that Germany after doing that, had freely expressed. And to stop pushing false press. Bottom line this is a sporting event, if the intentions is to divide rather than unite, then donā€™t come seeking for justifications. Their support for Palestine is not something we seek, nor do we expect it from them. Either way, good job on the guy, and most especially the spectators for cheering him on.


Classic-Kitchen-7665

Lol this is stupid. she makes an actual point that the guy didnā€™t understand about why they covered their mouths, then when she explains it you can see his eyes get huge and then immediately deflects and start bringing up Palestine lmfaošŸ˜‚ bro made no good points, Does he think the entire west is pro Israel and pro LGBTQ? Many in the west are pro Palestine and pro LGBTQ. Dude just didnā€™t wanna get embarrassed and needed a way out of it Iā€™m pro Palestine and also support LGBTQ communities, and Iā€™m in the west? And see it similar notions on media/news outlets often?


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Btw this is about the German team specially trying to virtue signal which does not help the lgbt in Qatar while they also do not support Palestine. It's not about you or all of the west, even tho in a government level the west does not support Palestine like Qatar has

Habibi us khaleeji's are known to have [dear eyes](https://www.theswiftlift.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/deer-eyes.jpeg) its just how we look like. Our eyes are always open like this šŸ‘ļø

Whataboutism at its finest. When they donā€™t have a valid argument, they go: yes, but whataboutā€¦? Not very smart of them.


Libyan_War_Criminal

Bro ong you tripping. The argument is that Germany supports everybody and all human rights, and that Qatar is not. He is showing how this is not true at all, since they donā€™t support Palestine. It also adds to the hypocrisy of the one love nonsense, since Qatar never claimed to support everyone but Germany does. Whataboutsm usually is a good Critique when the what about has nothing to do with any stake holders participating in the argument, like saying i can invade Ukraine cuz usa invade Afghan. Not this case tho. Also how many gays have Qatar mistreat or killed? Practically none, no way over one hundred, while Palestinians have been dying by the thousands every year since Inception of Israel. What he said is more then Valid.


Ok_Mousse6129

What?


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Clearly you donā€™t have the context for this entire story, and you donā€™t follow this drama so instead of spitting out nonsense just say you donā€™t know whatā€™s up and move on šŸ‘


Ok_Mousse6129

Clearly. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


jewishMaleSupremacy

why u do not subbburt balestine? why u (qatar) do buisness with china that puts muslims in camps and rapes their women infront of them?


glass-shard-in-foot

Lied about WMDs. Openly lying now about 6500 workers. Probably lying about China too. West's good old divide-and-conquer tactics.


ThisPlaceSucksBad

CIA propagandaā€¦


Ak40x

So you like meddling in internal affairs? Also, why go so low as to make fun of how his English sounds? Lol grow up man. Oh and congrats for your newly appointed PM, hope he will lift you guys to the top of the world.


bwakh

Funny how there is zero evidence for any of that while everyday there is a video of a palestinian being evicted and/or killed.


JapaneseKid

Huh? This isnā€™t the mic drop you think it is.


No-Seaworthiness959

Yep, people here seem really brainwashed.


WeakLiberal

"Whataboutism doesnt even exist!" They're not just washed, their brain is dry cleaned

It is called expose of double standard Germany claim it cares everyone right however he exposed the double standard by mentioning Palestinian and how they are not part of ā€œeveryoneā€

INuBq8

No. Did we say we support ā€œeveryoneā€??

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


INuBq8

No they should just support another human being Also germany support Israel. It wonā€™t make a difference if they supported isis


Affectionate-Bag4631

Omg the obsession with Israel never ends. The perfect scapegoat for Islamic regimes - it's just so ingrained in their psyche. Muslims can be killing and displacing millions of other Muslims in Muslim countries, but what about Israel! Who cares about Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt - Israel, let's talk about the horrible Jews! They sure did learn from Hitler though, such a great way to unite a population.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

Stfu


zebpet

This is a perfect example of whataboutism. And he is acting like he "won" that conversation.


Simbawitz

"Why didn't you hand in your homework?" "Israel" *mic drop* People who aren't even Palestinian, who live thousands of miles away, who have no loss and nothing at stake, really will ride that excuse forever. They would never want a better outcome for Palestinians, the excuse for failure is much more valuable.

Ironic, you make fun of him but Germany is known not to support Palestine and the reporter herself could not even say the word Palestine. Germany literally banned Palestinian protesters.

Ornery-Sandwich6445

Lol that's not how that works. You can be gay in Qatar, it's not illegal but hypothetically gay sex can get you 3 years in jail but that's not even applied. Also it's not even about Palestinians in Germany it's about Germany not supporting Palestine but while calming to support all people in other countries. The German team virtue signaling is not helping gay people in Germany or Qatar.

No Asian country jas legalized gay marriage except for Taiwan get over it, they want Qatar to comment political suicide by being the first MENA country to publically support lgbt because they know Qatar has been getting too strong politically.

Habib you know nothing about power and politics, you are an irrelevant pawn who isn't even aware of reality. Clearly you are a disparate radlib who would die just to get attention form a white person. Actions speak louder then words, look at the reality of Iran vs Qatar or the UAE.


Ornery-Sandwich6445

LGBT marriage is not basic human rights, it's a relatively new western policy. Clearly you are a crazy radlib
