idk, from an american perspective, pretty sure the americans that support Ukraine also support Palestine, whereas the americans that support Russia also support Israel.

mostly certain.

No, there is a big group that supports Ukraine and Israel.

And that group includes a majority in Congress, President Biden and (in Ukraine) president Zelensky.

And then there are also the tankies that support Palestine and Russia.

Finally, a lot of people are neutral or non-aligned in Israel vs Palestine, including myself, but definitely pro-Ukraine.

So, does supporting Palestine automatically make you a tankie?

[–] alvvayson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, you have to support Russia's invasions of its neighbours to be a tankie.

I absolutely cannot keep track of the layers of betrayal and reconciliation. Anyone who tells you that an issue in the Middle East is certain is, at best, benignly unaware. It is utterly unsalvageable on both sides.

I'd like to see those people square that up with this: https://thelemmy.club/pictrs/image/90177c67-3aa3-4cb6-88cb-72c96b2a441d.jpeg

i mean, supporting a country's current struggle doesn't equal supporting every view of that country's leader.

shrug
