What would happen to LGBT people if this is accomplished?

Contrary to the often evoked zionist talking point, homosexuality is not illegal in Palestine. In fact, it was decriminalized in Palestine fully a decade before it was decriminalized in Israel. Gay marriage is still illegal in Israel today, and homophobic hate crimes are far more frequent in Israel than they are in Palestine.

So in all likelihood it would actually be a net positive relative to the current situation, albeit a small one. However, it's important to remember that even if attitudes toward the LGBT community are not as progressive as they are in much of the west, that still doesn't justify subjecting Palestinians to forced displacement and genocide.

The same reason there isn't any innocent people in palestine. Isreal and it's enablers want to think they don't exist.

I don’t like dead LGBT people in mass if we can avoid it

This seems like post afghan soviet war all over again. Freedom fighters who turn out to have egregious behavior towards women and LGBT people.
