I was at this jewish event and I was talking to this guy
He was a ukrainian jew.
And we were talking about the history of Ukraine and how Ukraine has always been under the foot of Russia. Not only now but during the soviet union. Yet only a bit later in the conversation, he talked about how he was pro israel.
I don't get how some people hold literally contradictory views so long as its in their benefit. Russia is doing literally the same thing to Ukraine that Israel is doing to Palestine. With literally the exact same justification.
Russia: We have a historical right to Ukraine because of the soviet union, the kievan rus, etc.
Israel: We have a historical right to the west bank because of judaea and samaria
Russia: We need to invade Ukraine because they are nazis
Israel: We need to obliterate gaza because they are nazis

But his position wasn't particularly new. This is the position the entire west has taken.
We support Ukraine because its in our interests.
We support Israel because its also supposedly in our interests.
Absolutely zero recognition of basic morality.
Joe Biden accused Russia of doing genocide in Ukraine but G-d forbid anyone say the same for Israel.

Fundamentally there are 2 types of people: those who condemn oppression and conquest on one hand, and on the other hand those who are perfectly fine with oppression and conquest as long as they're not on the receiving end.

Indeed. In one case people have a lot of ressources, have an army, tanks and big military equipements to fight the oppressor and the support of the international community and in the other people are starving, have nothing but rockets/tunnels and are only supported by the east.
yes using "F." and capitalizing "daily" is performative af aka virtue signaling
nowhere in my post do I even hint at taking a side. We're only speaking about the false equivalency of ukraine and palestine. It's like comparing the Holodomor and holocaust, just because I can distinguish the difference between the two doesn't mean I condone one over the other. Use your brain for more than virtue signaling
You do realize this still makes it way different than Ukraine tho right? and they were also under occupation since before then. Jordan and Egypt were the rulers of the west bank and gaza
This is the rethoric of the propaganda of Israel and its supporters. This type of assertion - when delivered in response to the oppression of Israel - is made to completely invisibilize the colonization of Palestine and the oppression of Palestinian by Israel.
So yes, you do are taking a side.
