    I understand that Zelensky has no choice but support Netanyahu. But it seems Netanyahu’s a monster who forces Zelensky call for other nations to join for Israel’s psyop on utilizing genocide.

        The thought is that the US is implying or directly stating that support for Ukraine is contingent on Zelensky supporting Isreal.

          The same thing that happened to Israel happened to Ukraine. Russians have slaughtered whole towns in Ukraine. Zelensky is simply being empathetic.

            This sort of implies Ukraine is an apartheid state carelessly starving and stealing from Russians for decades.

            Yes the victims of the recent attack deserve sympathy, but this is not a blank check for a continued genocide against Gaza or other Palestinians.

            They aren’t really the same.

              If that’s your take I think you’re trying too hard,

                Trying too hard? To make sense of a complicated global issue? That’s a bad thing?

                  You really need to put a logic line between your thoughts and see if you connect things. Don’t try to make things uneccsaily complicated.

      It’s politics. Newfound Allies have expectations. I highly doubt Zelenskyj really wants to get involved with Israels ever ongoing conflict at this point in time.

        You always have a choice. And this doesn’t excuse war crimes in my eyes.

        The life of a Palestinian is not worth any less than a Ukrainian

          I’m just pointing out the most likely explanation.

          But I have no doubt he’s more concerned with own people and that if he wants to keep receiving aid for the war in Ukraine he has to “play ball.”

          It’s a shitty situation to be in.

          However I don’t think he’s going to divert any resources to Israel anytime soon, regardless of the sincerity of his statement. So at least there’s that.
