Settlers — Israeli Jews living in the occupied West Bank — and soldiers have killed 51 Palestinians in the West Bank since Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah. At least two villages, Al-Qanub and Wadi Al-Sik, have been entirely depopulated as a result of the violence by Israeli settlers.

If Europe cares so much about Ukraine having its lands annexed and illegally ocuppied by Russia I'm sure it will care about Palestine being in the same situation... am I right? Am I right?
If it were in Europe, sure. As it is, Europe largely cares because of the game US-imperialism and ruso-chino-imperialism play with the Middle East. Otherwise, it would be like your typical random country where this shit happens - international condemnation and no action.
This is an interesting analogy.
Last I checked, Ukrainians weren’t gunning down Russian teenager.
Probably because the Ukrainians have been free for decades and not locked up and abused for decades.
Also they are killing many Russian teenagers every day, who do you think is fighting on Russias side the elderly?
Even more interestingly: the Russians aren't full-blown racist towards the Ukranians - they even try to force to Ukranians in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine to become Russian nationals whilst Israel does the opposite.
The Israelis are so racist towards Arabs in general that they created a Citizenship separate from Nationality, made Citizenship be tied to religion/etny (i.e. Israeli Jew Citizenship, Israeli Arab Citizenship) and moved rights from Nationality to Citizenship, making some Citizenships (Israeli Jew) have more rights that other citizenships (Israeli Arab, who for example can be kicked out of their homes, as done frequently in Old Jerusalem).
I mean, imagine the level of racism that takes to change the basic concepts of citizenship and nationality (which are tied together everywhere else) in your country, to by law and at the most essential level create an underclass of citizens with fewer right and do so along etnic and religious lines.
It's not by chance people say Israel is an Appartheid state but nobody says that about Russia.
The thick racism that's superimposed on the calous disregard for the lives of the civilians of the "other" side (the "calous disregard for human life" being a feature of both Israeli and Russian behaviour in these wars) probably makes the whole Israeli Occupation generate way more hate than what the Russians are doing.
I meant they weren’t gunning down Russian kids at music festivals prior to the invasion. In other words, they weren’t committing acts of terrorism prior to the war.
Which is why I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.
Nice analogy you got there.. because ukrainians have been forced into sewers, literally had family lines ended, and treated like animals or subhumans for decades.
Id like to see ukrania being occupied for decades and then seeing ukrainians being the ones expected to be tolerant or forgiving.
"gunning down teenagers" is a funny way of saying gunning down terrorists who have guns and are already killing innocents
I meant prior to the war. They were not committing acts of terrorism against Russians.
Which is why I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.
What was Putin's justification for invading Ukraine? To prevent the genocide of Russians in Ukraine.
Not saying he was right, but that word sure does get tossed around a lot these days, both in describing conflict and in starting new ones.
