Is this a thing?. Most people I know personally are pretty for ending suffering for everyone.
I’m so proud of my government for acting consistently. They support Russia and Israel.
(I get why they’re doing it, but it still feels wrong.)
I’d keep my hand up
you should read about donbas from 2014-2021
Aha i’m going to have fun reading the comments. Liberals let their fascism show whenever geopolitics get involved.
Simple, Palestinians are brown and have less resources that America wants/needs.
I’m with both Palestinians and Ukrainians.
Yeah because Palestine is the aggressor here and to fully blame. Slava ukraini and fuck Palestine.
Fuck off nszi.
Russia aggresses against Ukraine. Ukraine retaliates. Slava Ukraine.
Israel aggresses against Palestine. Palestine retaliates. Fuck Palestine.Make that make sense.
“B… but Israel good. The TV said so. They had a holocaust against them, they’re saints. We gave them defensive weapons, surely they can’t abuse that extremely effective defense infrastructure to become fucking monsters.”
idk, from an american perspective, pretty sure the americans that support Ukraine also support Palestine, whereas the americans that support Russia also support Israel.
mostly certain.
pretty sure the americans that support Ukraine also support Palestine
I’d like to see those people square that up with this: https://thelemmy.club/pictrs/image/90177c67-3aa3-4cb6-88cb-72c96b2a441d.jpeg
i mean, supporting a country’s current struggle doesn’t equal supporting every view of that country’s leader.
shrug
Palestine needs a state and so does Israel
Broke: Two-state solution
Woke: One-state solution
Bespoke: Zero-state solution
ho boy, here we go again.
At this point in time that conflict has been going on for so long, I have no clue anymore who started it. So all I can do is judge both sides by their current actions without historical justification which, to me, results in fanatical religious fascists fighting fanatical religious fascists with neither side caring for civilian casualties. Not exactly a situation in which I’d support any side tbh.
Thank you. There’s way too many people claiming one or the other side is justified or worse and frankly at this point they’ve both committed so many atrocities against one another that it’s hard to have an emotional or subjective response other than, they’re both pretty shitty.
Also just looking at history isn’t going to solve anything. If that was the only solution we can just get any map remove all borders everywhere and discus how to draw them based on history. We all know this is just going to be a never ending discussion because it just depends on what snapshot in time (of the world) you take as your truth.
You can’t compare these 2 conflicts at all.
Let’s make a list of all the ways Ukraine is different to Palestine.
We’ll be here a while.
Tasteless
Ukraine is simply more important to the countries bordering russia, the EU and it’s allies
Ukraine is a sovereign nation that got attacked by another country.
Palestine just carried out a horrible attack on Israel. Plus the history of Israel and Palestine is totally different. It’s just apples and oranges. I’m not claiming in any way Israel is right here, but Hamas is definitely scum of the Earth.

I’ve seen so many stupid takes today, and this is one of them. The conflicts aren’t similar!
They’re not identical, but they have similarities. What Russia is trying to do to Ukraine is not dissimilar to what Israel did to Palestine half a century ago.
In what ways are they different that it justifies supporting Ukraine but not Palestine?
No one is saying they’re identical. But there are similarities.
