Seriously how are they wrapping their heads around that the racist hegemon wants to wipe both Palestine and Russia off the earth, and is funding their enemies in both cases?? Do they think the US doesn’t know where their interests lie?
US: Allied to Israel and Ukraine. Gives them billions in weaponry. Consistently votes against Palestinian statehood. Funds the murder of countless Palestinians.
Russia: Consistently votes in favor of Palestinian statehood. The USSR even fought a short war against Israel in the 1960s.
There are very significant parallels, but Ukraine is Israel and Donbas is Palestine.
If this lead to liberals ending support for Israel then that’d be one thing, but it won’t. They’ll thoughtlessly compare the situations and then draw essentially zero conclusions.
It would be less disgusting if they did actually be consistent in their equation. In my experience the sort of people who equated Ukraine and Palestine when they wanted people to support Ukraine are now crying about “violence”, “disruption of peace” and “terrorists” when Palestinians decide to punch back a little.
I haven’t seen people comparing Palestine to Ukraine, but I have certainly seen people saying that the recent offensive against Israel is somehow all planned by Moscow…
Ukraine talks about territorial integrity and say that this is their land and the Russian-speaking majority should leave but …
Recognizes Ichkeria (Chechnya, where no one is fighting for it lol) from Russia on the basis of “self-determination” at the expense of Russia’s territorial integrity
Tend to support Kosovar “self-determination” against Serbia against their territorial sovereignty
Supports settlement of Palestinian land (recognized by 138 countries, 7 billion people)
Support Yaroslav Hunka who fought with the nazis for “self-determination” against Soviet territorial sovereignty
And then they support “Israeli territorial sovereignty” just like they support their own as the Slavic Israel.
