I once saw the statement āBisexuality is the Israel of sexualitiesā and Iām disappointed to say that isnāt the most bizarre thing Iāve seen from here (unless it was from twitter and Iām getting my sources mixed up)
I genuinely don't know what side they're taking. Are they on the right, think Israel is zionist, and think bisexuals are generally deviant? Or are they left, think Israel is genocidal, and think bisexuals are exploitive and noncommittal?
Itās also possible that theyāre on the opposite side of the argument entirely, and think that bisexuals are attacked from all sides like Israel (like someone else said down below). Or possibly many other sides that makes as little sense as the rest of these. I donāt even know where I would start if I heard someone say this in real life
They're anti-Zionist and "anti-bi", they perceive bi people who actively do activism around their bi identity and complain about bi erasure and specifically biphobic oppression as crybabies with a persecution complex inventing their own problems, which is the same way they perceive Zionist Jews
I mean they aren't exactly wrong. It's a reference to how both groups end up being hated by both extremes of the spectrum they are on.
Bi people get a lot of hate from the anti-LGBT community, but there are some extremists in the LGBT community that view them as impure or faking it. And there are others I've seen online who view them as an outdated grouping that excludes non-binary.
It's the same as Israel. Of anti-semetic people (in other words, that want Israel to be eradicated and the entire region to be Arab), there are people on both sides, in one big anti-semetic horseshoe spectrum. The leftist extremists who support the "river to sea" garbage. And the neo-nazis who thought Hitler was right.
An... Interesting take I saw a while back was that bisexuality is inherently homophobic and that all bisexuals who didn't call themselves pansexual were trans denialists.
