    • Concerns about the presence of neonazi elements in the Ukrainian political and military body are not the same thing as saying Ukraine lacks a right to self-defense. Also, Hamas does not rule the Palestinian Territories, Israel has the real control.
    • Fundamentally different situations. Russia is currently only occupying the separatist regions, and their demand are limited to Ukraine de-militarizing, de-Nazifying, and explicitly renouncing the possibility of NATO membership. It’s not being occupied outright.
    • Lastly, there’s waaaaaay more hypocrisy going the other direction. There’s plenty of people on the left who support Ukraine morally, if not necessarily Western “assistance”, and also support Palestinian struggle. Whereas the libs who support Ukraine despite the neonazis, have overwhelmingly condemned the Palestinians attack. As usual, the lib-left would rather line up “tankie” cans to shoot down with their air rifle than go after real targets.

    Why should I support Ukraine if I support Palestine? Not even Ukraine supports Palestine. They view themselves as a Slavic Israel. Therefore, I will apply Ukraine’s generalized, sloppy thinking here and dislike Ukraine as well as Israel.
