Palestine is far more black and white than Ukraine. I’d recommend you read up on it.

Okay, so Russia Invaded Ukraine. Russia is the Aggressor.

The Hamas attacked Israel, so Israel exterminates Palestine and claims it wants to exterminate the Hamas. The Hamas have committed Warcrimes and hides the self behind Civilians and the IDF does a whole lot of warcrimes too. Both sides are shirt, just the IDF has done a bit more shit than the Hamas. Theres no good side in this conflict. Both sides want to exterminate each other and sacrifice the Palestinian civilians for this.

I don’t know where you see a more black and white scheme in the middle east conflict than in the Ukraine war, but I’m willing to read your explanation.

You appear to forget 75 years of israel invading Palestine. And putting Palestinians in a concentration camp.

And 75 Years of the Hamas Attacking Israel. Israel has killed much more Palestinians that the other way around, but its still more complicated than The Ukraine war.

75 years of history that quite literally nullifies it being black and white, because history, as well understood by historians, only makes things more clearly visible, obviously.

And helping Hamas get into power in order to

  • destroy Palestinian unity
  • squash secular, progressive, democratic leadership
  • promote violence

If you want to see what happens when Palestinians cooperate with Israel, look at the West Bank:

Dude they have been fighting for the whole time and for every bad thing Isreal has done Hamas has done one back.

Ever heard of the saying “and eye for an eye and the whole world is blind”. Well both sides are blind now.

The only correct take is that both sides suck and the palastenian people are the ones who suffer. To take a side in this conflict is uninformed, as both sides have way too much blood on their hands. This is very far from black and white and simple.

Nothing about middle east conflicts is close to black and white. I’d recommend you read up on it.

Nothing about middle east conflicts

Spoken like a true racist, grouping up “middle east conflicts” as if it was a single entity.

Pretty easy actually, Palestinians were there living their lives and having a sense of nationality as Palestinians since the latter years of the Ottoman Empire. Zionists decided they didn’t care about that, decided they deserved their ancestral homeland, and western countries helped them militarily to relocate hundreds of thousands of people and murder tens of thousands on top. It’s almost quite literally that easy.

most people would do the same for general geographic regions though.

If it were a war between germany and france for example, it would be referred to as a “western” war. Russia vs China would be eastern for example.

Most of these wars are culturally related, especially in the middle east where they seem to have a particular style of warfare, it only seems fair to refer to it as “middle eastern” arguably, the only one that isn’t really doing this style of warfare here is israel. Though they clearly have reservations on morals.

I’m Iranian, and there’s no hope of going home any time soon. It’s perfectly acceptable to lump the middle east in that statement. Show me one conflict in that region that’s not black and white.

That isn’t how racism works…is racist turning into the left version of “woke”? His comment wasn’t even out of ignorance, that is what that area is referred to, and nothing about conflicts in that area (including the topic at hand) is black and white…

Imagine saying a literal Nazi style Genocide is not black and white.

Are you going to say Hitler actually had a point next?

Just stop. This conflict has been going on for ages and is so complex, people have to actually study this shit to even remotely understand it.

Russia just fucked Ukraine.

All of this aside, the comparison of the two headlines is just dumb. The left side was from 2023, right after it happened. This was the official statement back then. What should they have written instead? They even used quotation marks. Fucking hell.

far more black and white? What in the ever living fuck are you talking about?

Ukraine was literally legally guaranteed that russia wouldn’t invade them, after taking their nuclear weapons. Russia LITERALLY broke this agreement. How much more black and white can you get than quite literally going against what you’ve said?

Care to explain it if it’s so simple? You have no idea what your talking about…

Simple:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

The whole “so difficult conflict which goes so far back that it’s impossible to know who’s guilty at this point”, starts in the late 40s with the invasion of Palestinian land by Zionist settlers, and the violent displacement of 750.000+ locals.
