IMO everyone should leave everyone else the fuck alone and stop trying to be modern empires, but come on man, these are VERY different situations.

Biden is 100% gonna support "Israel's right to defend itself", while they've been awfully quiet when Palestani people are getting murdered and their infrastructure decimated 🫣🤫
Fucking fascists
Both suck to be fair but Israel for me suck less. My reasoning mostly stem on their Ideology. Israel leans more to the US. Israel though recently leaning more to the extreme right, is still liberal compared to the rest of the nations in middle east. Woman has more freedom under Israel it seems. LGBT is more supported in Israel. For Hamas on the other hand has the same vibe for me with Taliban it doesn't help that it is supported by Iran and Russia. As for Ukraine I support them since they lean more to the West (EU and the US) and they are more democratic than Russia. That's my thought anyway.
So you support Israel committing genocide in Palestine because they lean west. Way to go lil bro
Emotional responses don't lead to any solutions. Only reason will create a peaceful two state solution.
The Victims should never bargain with the invaders. Slava Ukraini Slava Palestini.

Ppl who have no idea how palestinian conflict started half a century ago commenting like 'completely different cases!'
Same ppl fifty years later and war continues in Ukraine: 'ok, now I get it'
It all started with this fuckin' Serbian dude getting a sandwich...
Idk if this is a hot take, but imo the war in Ukraine is pretty clear city while the Palestinian and Israeli conflict his an infinite list of wrinkles and nuances.
It's far less controversial to say the former is Russia's fault than it is to say the latter is either Palestine's or Israel's fault.
What nuance is there be had about this? Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state that deserves what should've happened to America when those settlers were doing it. That's like saying "the civil rights conflict has an infinite list of wrinkles and nuances"; in that it's objectively wrong.
Yeah mostly because isreal/ Palestine conflict is much older then russia/Ukraine so a lot of things happened. But at it's very core they both started because of the same claim : russia claimed used to own Ukraine so they want it back. The jews used to own Palestine so they want it back. So if you support Ukraine and isreal you're just a hypocrite
I haven't seen anyone here "support Israel". Almost everyone agrees that the Israeli State is not free of guilt, far from it.
What people really disagree over is whether that alone makes Palestine right (nuanced) and whether it justifies Hamas' actions (unhinged but unfortunately semi-common take on here).
I mean, if you go further back than 1947/1948, didn't the Palestinians used to own Israel? Or do we want to go even further back, to about 1200 BCE?

Palestinian conflict is very simple: an army vs civilians. Only gonna end when all the latter are dead.
Should we ever try to sanction that army? Never! Should we try sanctioning US for killing million iraqis who had not a WMD? No! Should we sanction Nato for bombing the wealthiest african estate libya to it's ruin? Ah wait, WE are Nato. Can't shoot own ankle.
Seems like both armies versus civilians.
There's not many other conflicts where I can remark "two war crimes don't make a right" damn near every time.
Hamas is a militia. They don't have an airforce and whatever else is required to be a military.
I'd urge you to compare the casualties caused by each of the "armies". Hamas is not even a fraction of the concern that Israel is.
It's so much better that it's a militia shooting at civilians instead of military
Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say, I will not entertain that. I am happy to respond to any arguments you make or answer any questions otherwise.
I'm just saying it's a pretty pointless difference in this case, silly

HAMAS isn't Palestine. Israel isn't Judaism.
Let's make a list of all the ways Ukraine is different to Palestine.
We'll be here a while.
- Ukraine is 7 letters and Palestine is 9
Launching rockets at civilians isn't glorious whether you're Russian or Palestinian.
