Summary
Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day, using 184 missiles and drones, resulting in power cuts across the country.
Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it “inhumane” and a “conscious choice” by Russia.
Despite the damage and casualties, Ukrainians remain resilient, celebrating Christmas amidst the crisis.
Earlier in the thread you asked what was the “whataboutism” in your question. Went ahead and highlighted the approximate location. Hope that helps.
Oh, yeah. Thanks so you are on the “what”? I can rephrase it; “Why are Palestinian lives being ignored by Zelensky and he seems to be totally encouraging the same thing to happen to the Palestinians which is happening to his own people; innocents being murdered”
EDIT: rephrased it even better.
Rephrasing it doesn’t change the message. People are allowed to focus on the most pressing matter at hand.
Have the Palestinians appropriately denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? I mean it’s like they don’t even want help. They’re all “I’m getting bombed and systematically murdered.” and not a peep about Ukraine. Truly despicable behavior. /s
Palestinians don’t really get the platform Zelensky gets do they? I get your sarcasm though.
Yeah and just as people are allowed to focus on “most pressing matter at hand”, I’m allowed to say it’s hypocrisy and stick to my opinion.
Why are Palestinian leaders ignoring Ukrainian lives? Why aren’t they condemning Russias attack?
Good question and why should they when Zelensky said Israel has every right to defend themselves (despite Israel has been occupying, terrorizing, torturing the Palestinians)?
Besides that, I would not know.
To my knowledge, Zelenskyy only expressed support for Israel after October the 7th, 2023, over a year and a half after Russia launched its full scale invasion of Ukraine — a year and a half during which Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian Authority could have condemned Russia’s war against Ukraine. They didn’t, presumably, for the same reason Zelenskyy has expressed support for Israel: to avoid antagonizing their allies, morals be damned. Given their dire situation –both Ukraine and the Palestinians rely heavily on their respective allies for military and diplomatic support–, I think we ought to give them a pass. If you disagree, at least apply the same logic to both and condemn them equally.
