Hate Russia But Support Isreali, That's Double Standard by OkwuMajesty: 4:34pm On Oct 09, 2023
Here are some reactions I have gotten thus far:
There’s clear double standard in endorsing terrorism against civilian targets by Ukraine (which one can obviously argue is justified - they face occupation) & condemning it by Palestinians.

Those fighting our enemies = war of liberation

Those fighting our allies = terrorism.

"So, Ukrainian 🇺🇦 civilians defending their families are “freedom fighters”…

But Palestinians in Gaza 🇵🇸 doing the EXACT same thing are “terrorists”?

The international community's double standards are evident as they rally for Ukraine's conflict with Russia while turning a blind eye to the enduring suffering of the Palestinian people under Israeli apartheid for decades.
“Without making any comparison between Russia’s aggression and Israel … it is clear the Palestinian people are under a regime of oppression – a regime of occupation and a regime of apartheid,”

“You’re happy to use the most strong and robust language to describe the crimes against humanity of [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, but you will not use the same strength of language when it comes to describing Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.”
Ukrainian footballer Oleksandr Zinchenko, who plays for Arsenal, posted on Instagram, stating he “stands with Israel”.

Zinchenko has been a vocal supporter of his home country in its ongoing defence against Russia, and he participated in a Game4Ukraine charity match in London earlier this year to raise money for Ukraine.
After online backlash, with some questioning an alleged double standard in his support of Israel, the footballer removed the post and switched his social media account to private.

Several people claimed that Zinchenko’s football club, in not responding to his comments, was guilty of hypocrisy after they had distanced themselves from former player Mesut Ozil’s comments in 2019 over alleged human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims in China.

Am not here to defend or support the Palestinians but check deeply into the conflict are Isreali not occupying illegally some lands that belongs to the other fold?

If yes then, is it not the same thing that Russia did to Ukraine and we all condemned it?

I think Isreali should respect the independence of Palestine and peace should be restore..

No Israeli is living in Gaza (Israel forced out all Jews out in 2005 including those with ancestral heritage in Gaza) but Arab Palestinians are Israeli citizens. Please can you elaborate on this how Gazans (formally Egyptians) are fighting for liberation?

The purpose of the plan was to improve Israel's security and international status in the absence of peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

From the United States to Australia, Israel to Nigeria, many ethnic groups migrated to foreign lands, conquered the original land inhabitants and took over their lands. Apart from those in Nigeria, they live in peace because they understand fairness, equity and justice.

Russia, China, USA, Canada and many other countries that have massive landmasses they don't use should help end this war. The UK did it for the Asians when Idi Amin took over their businesses in Uganda. To end this war, why not ask a significant percentage of either Israelis or Palestinians to move to their country. The two-state solution cannot work. I have been following this war before the advent of the internet and cable TV.

I don't understand what Palestine and Israel are fighting over Jerusalem and killing themselves over a city that they met and it will remain when they finish their journey in this world and die. The Bible tells us that God is everywhere, but these people are killing themselves over Jerusalem for reasons best known to them.

If you read the book titled: The son's of Hamas. You will understand that the fight will not end soon...it is an idea already groomed in there heads from birth.

Lots of gaslighting comments up there...

Let's discuss this after Hamas is blotted out of existence. We should never normalise terrorism...
