Dumb meme, the 2 situations are not similar.

They're not identical but there are many similarities.

Yes, one is recent, impacts the West directly and a bunch of white people and the other is Palestine.

I hope Russia invades your house. Not your country or neighbourhood, but just your house specifically.

How does a long time NATO ally not impact the west exactly? The Israel/Palestine confict has been in the news since I have paid attention to international politics.

This entire weird conversation aside, Palestine/Israel conflict does not currently affect the West. It could hypothetically escalate until it affected the West I suppose.

Also, Israel is not in NATO. They are a "NATO partner" but are not legally tied to the security alliance.

That was the point. When it impacts the West directly, the we in the West decide to make things about right and wrong and morals and cook up excuses to throw more and more money because it serves our interests. When it’s Palestine… we decide to throw all of that out of the window and decide fund Israel (the aggressor) instead.
