I’m not sure who you mean regards the support (English isn’t my native language).

However if you meant, it is hard to support Palestinians due to what’s happening now. That’s hypocrisy.

I don’t agree with the murdering and all. However, Israel have been doing that for decades and decades (killing men, woman and children. Stealing homes, closing water, electricity and basic needs) and no one bat an eye to it. Now Hamas striking back and it is all bad?

Certainly is bad however not unsurprising. People will fight back.

EDIT: I think, I have misunderstood what you said. Let me know if that is the case.

That was bad and this is bad. Two things can be bad and saying the second one is bad doesn’t means the first one is good.

Oh, that way. That’s indeed true. But it is very understandable that if one is being oppressed for decades, they will eventually fight back and return everything that’s been done to them.

It’s sad but reality.

For example, why is okay for Ukraine to fight back but not for Palestine to do the same? Both get oppressed, are losing land and their own folk. Yet people complain mainly about Palestine fighting back and not about Ukraine fighting back.

I, personally just find it odd that people are okay with Ukraine siding with Israel in the name of “they are allowed to defend themselves!” But when Palestine is fighting back to defend themselves and fighting for their own right to live - that’s not okay.

It is hypocrisy for Zelensky to be okay with Israel oppressing Palestine but finding it not okay for Russia doing the same exact thing to his own country.

Two wrongs doesn’t make it right, right? So that would mean that it isn’t okay for Israel to oppress Palestine for decades as well.

EDIT: Not that I care about downvotes on Lemmy, however it seems that majority here supports Israel which is genuinely sad to see.

Ukraine doesn’t gun down shelters and cafés full of civilians and parades mutilated bodies of tourists through the streets.

That’s why people support Ukraine and criticize Palestine.

But I don’t see people criticize Israel for decades of oppression on Palestinian people. That seems to be normalized by everyone nowadays.

What do you expect? Palestinian people to just be like “okay, kill us go ahead”?

Did people forget that Zelensky knew that Russia would wage war on them and he kept this a secret all along because he knew people would leave the country?
