Another fact is that Palestine has chosen to side with Russia

Not a fact at all. Gonna need your source on that.

so in the current situation I see no reason to side with Palestine

You DO know that at least two thirds of the Palestinians killed are civilians, right? And that’s the official estimate that the IDF proudly declared, so in reality the ratio is likely much worse.

I think all resources to help Palestine should be diverted to help Ukraine

Fuck that. Ukraine should get a shitload of help and they ARE getting a shitload of help. None of it should be taken from victims of genocide, rampant disease and starvation, though.

Not even most civilian RUSSIANS are to blame for Putin’s invasion and you’re blaming innocent Palestinians??

When Russia has been contained, we can start thinking about things like Gaza.

Ever heard about walking and chewing gum at the same time?

The richest countries in the world ABSOLUTELY have the resources and expertise to help Ukraine and Palestinians at the same time.

To pretend that it’s an either/or situation and that children dying of hunger or from IDF bombings and bullets RIGHT NOW will have to wait their turn because they’re less important and the government that they didn’t choose is a bad one is as asinine as it is heartless.

But until that happens, every diversion just critically weakens us.

Absolute nonsense.

It’s like a hierarchy of needs, you know?

That’s absolutely not how international humanitarian aid works, no.

If my neighbor is threatening to punch me in the face, I don’t have the luxury of being worried about a potentially worse thing happening on the other side of the city.

Ah, now I get it! You just think that white European people with blonde hair and blue eyes are more important than Palestinians. Sounds familiar…

This doesn’t excuse genocide

Nothing does.

if such a thing would be happening

It is. Nobody who isn’t biased in favor of the Israeli government doubt it for a second.

but it sure does give a reason to support Israel over Palestine.

It ABSOLUTELY does not. Israel is an occupation force committing genocide. There’s absolutely no defensible reason for supporting that.

The Israeli government is not defending itself. It’s eradicating a people, which is never justifiable, no matter what.
