Is it because Palestine is the underdog while Ukraine seems to be the underdog…? What is the deal with this?
I’m just talking about the corporate media here. Obviously you will lose your job if you advocate for peace in Ukraine or Palestine from a left perspective. In the media landscape, you can criticize the Ukraine War all you like from the right, but only some dissent regarding Palestine is permitted from the left. What is going on here? There are also very few protests in favor of peace in Ukraine from the left, but massive leftwing protests in favor of a ceasefire in Palestine.
They are trying to make it as taboo. It’s just more Westerners are inclined to speak out in favor of Palestine because of the long history that the free Palestine movement has with the left here.
