  • It’s a bad comparison because Ukraine is controlled by a decent government, with its population’s support, fighting to protect an invasion across clearly defined borders. The moral high ground in the Israel Palestine conflict is held by the civilians on both sides, neither government can claim a clear moral high ground. Palestine is controlled half by a fundamentalist religious cult that calls for Israel to be destroyed, and even the other half is run by a moderate party whose leader wrote a doctoral thesis full of Holocaust denial.

    The Ukrainian government does not call for the whole of Russia to be put under Ukrainian control, it does not call for people to kill Russian civilians in other countries, like Hamas does. It has not invaded Russia or deliberately targeted Russian civilians. This is the former Interior minister of Hamas, and current member of the legislative council:

    “Seven million Palestinians outside, enough warming up, you have Jews with you in every place. You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them.”

    Ukraine is a simple situation. Palestine is complex, and there is no flag you can fly or slogan you can chant which represents what is needed to have a fair outcome.
