    That’s weird, I see you posting in the Ukraine community a lot.

    In this post you seem to be critical of Palestinian people. Not sure if intentional.

    Not that both views cannot be held separately, but I’d imagine people supporting Ukraine would be sympathetic towards the plight of the Palestinian people.

    Aside from Hamas, that is, they seem to be indifferent towards their own people, but you used the word Palestinian specifically.

    Neither case I’m judgemental, just curious after your opinion.

      The title was copied from the original source on Telegram. I just thought it was funny.

      I posted a video a Hamas destroying an IDF tank, but any NSFL content is banned here. It makes it hard to show both sides of the conflict.

      I have a better question to you. Why do you think it is the war they took sides in and not the personal suffering and unique tragedy of the personnel who get involved in it?

      People seem to way too easily get into this binary tribal behaviour and it seems to get exacerbated by the effect of reddit.

      Dont fall for it. Yes, both sides are suffering. Yes, I find it preferable to support Ukraine militarily to WIN the war, and Israels eradication of the Hamas strongholds, while upholding hope for Russian and Palestinians peoples freedom from opression.

        Well I was wondering about the wording, and, as it turned out he copied the article of another source. The using of the word Palestinians and berating someone for picking up the gun of a fallen soldier sounded weird from someone who often posts very graphic videos of the Ukraine-Russian front felt a bit of key.

        So I explained that I didn’t want to pin a tribal affiliation, but wanted to know the thought behind the words used. Turns out that he didn’t consider the words at all, but is more about sharing moving (and often explicit) videos

        I fully subscribe to what you say in your last paragraph.

      Honestly the tik tak toe chart of % pro/anti vs Russia/Palistine is ptobably pretty close to evenly split.
