Zelensky posted warm thanks to Israel’s president for Independence Day wishes. He said Ukraine-Israel ties will grow and prayed for peace. Meanwhile, Israel bombs Gaza and occupies Palestine. Russia does same in Ukraine. Ukraine supports Israel, but Israel is just like Russia. Selective outrage is not okay. If you cry about invasion, dont support another invader.

    They’re also allied with the USA, who are also attacking countries as they see fit. I’d assume by default that Ukraine just allies with whoever is willing and able to support them materially, and IDK if I should fault them for that while they’re in the middle of fighting against an invasion. Then again, Zelenskyy is Jewish and as such probably pro-Israel like most Jews …

      Agree. I see it as existential for them and he has to be pragmatic and disregard his own preferences when it comes to morality. It is sad that the world has turned into this.

      You are right. While the majority of jews support zionist and Israeli crimes, not all of them do. I have shared several jews videos that condemn and against zionism and Israel

          Yes, they invaded Kursk?

          Question is, if invading a different country was really the point you are trying to make.

            Kursk is a Russian state. Are you really faulting Ukraine for pushing north over the border in an area that wasn’t as heavily protected, while they were getting overran to the east.

                Are you calling your persona dirt because you don’t want us to realize you’re actually a walking pile of shit?

        Well, one side is invading a sovereign country with the stated goal of annexing it and displacing the population.

        The other side is being invaded and suffering a genocide by a vastly larger country, and are desperately trying to get whatever help they can.

        So no, it doesn’t raise that question at all. Or at least, not among people with more than 2 braincells.
