    I normally like Pink Wug’s comics, but saying the two wars are equivalent is stupid. In Ukraine Russia invaded for resources and land. Russia bombs apartment buildings, hospitals, grocery stores, and more civilian targets. Ukraine only goes for military targets.

    In the Hamas-Isreal conflict both sides have ruthlessly murdered civilians and bombed large apartment buildings in the name of terror. You can argue that this is a result of Palestine being shot at constantly for decades (which it sort of is) but the response is not killing hundreds of civilians.

    Tldr: Ukraine goes for military targets, Hamas goes for military and civilian alike

    Well, that’s a PinkWug L.

    These conflicts are not comparable. Like literary in not a single factor that matters.

    They both use weapons. That’s it.

    Wait, the right one is Ukraine, which is the left flag? Why are they arguing? I might be out of the loop

      It’s the Palestine flag. The comic is comparing Palestine to the Ukraine.

      The comic ignores the fact though that a two state solution has been proposed many many times, only to be rejected every time.

      Palestine is on the left.

      I think this might be in reference to Zelenskyy saying he fully supports Israel.
