He told the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion he was embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community when he came out as gay as a teenager, but the experience was markedly different when he told loved ones of his religious conversion.

"When I began the process of telling people that I was embarking on this Jewish journey, I lost a significant number of friends,"

he said.

"It was quite horrific actually."

Benjamin F said he no longer felt safe in "progressive" circles and spaces, with his former friends calling him Jewish slurs and labelling him a supporter of genocide.

"It's lonely," he said.

I'll keep this in mind

ikt you are seriously racist, you know very little history, and you are using bits from my response to suit your bigotry. There has been Christian terrorism (do an online search) throughout history and lethal wars between Catholics and Protestants. I can't be bothered doing a history lesson here for someone who only wants his prejudice reinforced.

    ikt you are seriously racist

    Islam is not a race, it's an ideology

    It's funny how when I say I hate Nazism nobody calls me racist but when I say I hate Islamism and the hate and suffering it inspires all of a sudden I'm racist

    Much of the public anger over the weekend's events has focused on some of the placards held by protesters, especially one that read: "Behead all those who insult the Prophet."

    Some of the placards were being held by young children, and they appeared to be encouraged to do so by their parents.

    This was in Sydney and that was 2012, btw these people are still here and being arrested (like the ones yesterday)

    I can’t be bothered doing a history lesson

    You shouldn't bother because I'm already very aware of the history of Christianity, you don't debate Christians for 10 years without knowing a little bit about them

    Here's a video you might enjoy

    Hope it challenges some of your beliefs :)

    Nights!

    edit: I watched another video of his and it was blatantly wrong so I did more research on this video and it turns out it's a bunch of crap as well, this is a rebuttal of it

    Ok, apologies 😆. It was late and I was tired. You are not a racist, you are just a bigot.

    And while you complain about threatening placards, the Zionist state actually continues to kill both Christian and Muslim civilian people during a supposed ceasefire (23 yesterday).

    History can be twisted to suit most arguments. Actual dead bodies do not lie. So far, the Zionist state is responsible for more deaths than ISIS, Hamas or Hezbollah put together. Yet our 'Christian' governments continue to back or remain silent about the slaughter, assassinations, and breach of ceasefires. Where and what is our Christian ideology?
