Palestine

This is the exact parallel I draw for people that argue with me about my support for Hamas. If it were just Hamas, of course my support would be more critical as I am of all faith based movements, but the fact they have a united front with PFLP and other communist organizations shows that they are legitimately fighting for liberation. And even if they weren't aligned with my comrades I would still support them for fighting back against genocide.

I was arguing with a guy yesterday who was railing on about Xinjiang and Ukraine, the former being laughably false as even the US state department had to admit it was bullshit, and while the latter is more complicated on the surface it really isn't. The only question is whether you support the self determination of the people in eastern Ukraine and the Donbas region. The only arguments against this are just naked nationalism of the non-liberatory kind and it pains me to see so many self-proclaimed anarchists simping for a state that has been wholly subsumed by Nazi elements.

The first thing to catch my attention were the merry-go-rounds, jammed with people. Yes, the carousels were spinning round in the thick clouds of smoke from the tenement houses burning next to them. Few metres away people are being burnt alive, but the show must go on. The crowds, bubbling with excitement, rushed from all corners of the city to watch the burning quarter.

Except that the Ghetto uprising was supported and armed by the polish Home Army.

The comparison with the Gaza genocide strikes me as complete nonsense - the Ghetto's destruction was done by an invading and occupying external force, not by the country's own army with the full support of the citizens.

Even if many poles were anti-semitic or simply indifferent, there was an active resistance movent to the nazis organized by both poles and jews. This is nothing like the situation in israel.
