Palestinians in Ukraine decry ‘double standard’ as Kyiv supports Israel : worldnews

USA may have told them to tow the line if they wanted continued support.

Didn't even have to be the US.

Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe'd.

Ukraine indirectly benefits a lot from Israel's weapon technology. Many of the European weapon deliveries they receive were tested by Israel on Palestinians. See "The Palestine Laboratory" (sorry for the Amazon link. You may find the book in other stores as well of course).

Is that a trick question? No seriously, who in the Earth can't see that both Israel and Ukraine are vassal states of USA, realising its geopolitical interests? Also i have some interesting article here.

What else do you think ukraine’s opinio should be when hammas and the Palestinians in general are heavily funded by russia. The same drones and rockets hit Israel and Ukraine. They come from the same source.

Israel has a lot of ex-soviet people repatriating, a lot of jewish people became famous in ex-soviet spaces, states are closely connected by family lines etc. Russian partner and a supplier of drones Iran hates Israel, so the messaging in their news is a bit confusing; the same information only leaves Ukraine more sure they are all bits of one chain and more or less sides with Israel. Maybe they compare the formation of Israel and wars to hold that territory to gaining their own independence and see their neighbors repeatedly attacking them in a parallel with what they lived through in the last years. I'm not a ukrainian so I won't be able to tell, but in some communities I frequent HAMAS is indeed compared to russian MoD by users and many posts are pro-Israel.

There's literally no significance to what any of these nations think as they aren't significantly affecting that situation as they are too occupied themselves. It's probably a way to take a bite at ukrainians's image. I don't know why it's relevant, just an interesting gimmick.

+Not to be empty-mouthed, from the second page of top-of-the-year filtering: https://old.reddit.cum/comments/17p1qur Many ex-soviet citizens dislike protest for Palestine. That view has many reasons I'm too tired to discuss.

Israel is more closely aligned with the US than Palestine. It's nothing personal.
