This post is for the crowd that calls Gaza a genocide, but completely dismisses Ukraine; supports Palestine, but completely dismisses Ukraine. I hear “well the whole strip is razed, while Ukrainians drink coffee”.
Let’s talk. Ukraine is experiencing a genocide. Our whole country not being up in flames doesn’t make it any less of a genocide.
Ukraine is 15,000 times the size of Gaza. Russia leveled Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, Soledar, Mariinka, Avdiivka, and most recently (a few days ago) Vovchansk — to name just a few. Each of these cities were destroyed completely.
Ukraine is the largest country in Europe. 20% of our territory is occupied. That’s about the size of Denmark. So, now put in perspective HOW MUCH russia has completely wiped off the face of the earth. Hint: At least a medium European country worth of cities and towns.
De-occupied territories are mined for 50 years into the future (to put it modestly). Museums, books, culture — destroyed. Kids and adults are kidnapped and put into what russia calls “filtration [of loyalty to russia] camps” aka concentration camps.
Stop being a hypocrite. If you call events in Gaza a genocide, stop looking for excuses as to why not give the same name to what russia is doing to Ukraine.
And if you dare scream “UkRaInE sUpPoRtS IsRaEL” — Hamas supports and directly cooperates with russia. Two can play that game.
In October our president said he believes Israel has a right to defend itself from the Hamas attack. He never said we condone the bombing of Gaza. You can condemn Hamas, and you can condemn the Israeli government using that to wipe Gaza off the map at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. Both are wrong.
