Re the discussion in the last few days, I'd like to bring up that the gay community always takes pejorative terms for women, adopts them and turns them positive. It's a good thing, I don't know why anyone would be offended. (btw, I haven't read each and every post, so I'm sorry if it's already been said).

I guess Adam felt that his initiall reaction needed some fine tuning, and I'm glad he did. I'm not happy to bring politics here and I hope what I write is not controversial, when I refer to Adam's IG post. I agree with a lot of it, but still I have a need to react to a few points. I'm very liberal myself, but the international left had a knee-jerk reaction which was completetly misguided this time. I will admit that Israel has been mishandling the situation for decades and treated the Palestinians unfairly, to put it mildly. Yet what happened 4 weeks ago was not "a bunch" of people that got killed in a music festival, but 1,400 people that were murdered, some in the festival and others in their homes, including whole families, and including in the most brutal acts imaginable, which I will not detail here. But Adam is right to point that the attack wasn't executed by the Gazans but specifically by the Hamas terror organisation which controls Gaza. The Israeli army is the people, so it cannot be called "right-wing", it includes all kinds. It gets its instructions from the government. Unfortunately, as US people know well, even in democracies you don't always get the leadership that most people voted for, for various reasons. And while Israel and its army are not pure by any means, they don't deliberately kill innocent people. And lastly, it seems like Adam differentiate between "anti Israel" and "anti Zionist", but I don't understand this distinction. Being Zionist means you think the Jews should have their own state, and it should be in Zion (which is another name for Israel). So I don't get how you can be pro Israel but anti Zionism. Sorry to be so long winded. We hear of such a rise in Antisemitism around the world, so we all feel like we're on PR duty...

ADAM LAMBERT@adamlambert
Proud to sign my name on this letter to @potus demanding that Congress and other world leaders call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost. We must facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, the safe release of all hostages, and adequate access for humanitarian aid to reach the people that desperately need it. Read our full letter at the link here: artists4ceasefire.orgThis artists letter Adam signed is extremely superficial, as if there's anybody who doesn't want an end to violence. The artists call for ceasefire, but how do they plan to free the hostages, which include children and elderly people, and what is their plan to rid the poor Gazans as well as Israel of the Hamas? By sitting on our hands? I hope you wouldn't mind that I leave this here:

Adam shared a couple of posts re the situation in Israel, and while his intentions are good, I believe he isn’t fully informed. I agree whole-heartedly with the notion that one atrocity should not lead to another, but the post that was shared here states as a fact that fleeing Palestinians were bombed by Israeli forces. That has not been corroborated, and there is another theory that says the road had been boobytrapped by Hamas, as they are known to do. It is sad that a post which presumes to bring clarity, recites what could amount to Hamas propaganda. I hate to bring politics to this board, but this post, like all others I’ve seen, does not offer an alternative and better course of action. Adam also reposted an ultra orthodox Jew saying how Jews and Arabs had always lived peacefully side by side, until Zionism came along. While it may be so, his underlying conclusion is that Zionism is bad and Israel should not exist. He’s part of a section of the Ultra Orthodox that believe Israel should only be resurrected at the coming of the Messiah. I’m quite sure that is not Adam’s position. http://instagram.com/p/Cyc1JINgz8z

Katycake- please take care. So hoping these attacks don’t spread north to your area. This is not a political statement. Just expressing concern for our longtime Adamtopia member. Thank you so much! Seems like we're in for a war. Let's hope for quiet times soon. I love coming here and experiencing some normalcy
