    idk, from an american perspective, pretty sure the americans that support Ukraine also support Palestine, whereas the americans that support Russia also support Israel.

    mostly certain.

      No, there is a big group that supports Ukraine and Israel.

      And that group includes a majority in Congress, President Biden and (in Ukraine) president Zelensky.

      And then there are also the tankies that support Palestine and Russia.

      Finally, a lot of people are neutral or non-aligned in Israel vs Palestine, including myself, but definitely pro-Ukraine.

          Tankie is just a word internet creeps use as a derogatory term for “on the right side of history” so yes it does.

            You mean that time that the USSR rolled tanks into Prague because checks notes the socialist government published some newspapers?

            Bro, even Mao Zedong was like “that shit is mega fucked up.”

            Or “people I disagree with that I accuse of saying ridiculous shit that while they never stop saying it I simultaneously can not point to a single instance of it being said”

      I absolutely cannot keep track of the layers of betrayal and reconciliation. Anyone who tells you that an issue in the Middle East is certain is, at best, benignly unaware. It is utterly unsalvageable on both sides.

        i mean, supporting a country’s current struggle doesn’t equal supporting every view of that country’s leader.
