    sure, make comparisons between Nazi Germany, Apartheid Israel and … Russia

    Are Ukrainians being crammed into a strip being bombed constantly without food or water? Russia despite being reactionary in many ways (eg LGBTQ rights) is relatively tolerant towards religious and ethnic minorities.

    Such malicious comparison. Fuck you.

      Oh fuck off. Russia is committing cultural genocide and is constantly bombing civilian targets. Russia thinks nothing of bombing hospitals or other civilian infrastructure. The only reason the Ukrainians are not also being crammed into a strip is because Russia’s military hasn’t been capable of doing that.

      Edit: clarity

      Actually, yes, Ukrainians that happened to live in the east of Ukraine are in fact stuck in a literal war zone without feasible way to live… unless they accept Russian “citizenship”, that is

        they can get to Europe because they are white enough. Its not an open air prison in the same way Gaza is.

        Russian bombing campaign is nothing like Gaza. Gazans can’t obtain Israeli citizenship, Palestinian passports aren’t widely recognized. Meanwhile both Ukrainian and Russian passports are internationally recognized.

        unless they accept Russian “citizenship”, that is

        A citizenship is a citizenship. No need for quotes, Russian citizens can get Russian passports, get access to Russian benefits and travel.

        Stop making silly comparisons.

        The only people who can be compared to the situation Palestinians are in right now are Rohingya Muslims.

          No shit, nothing is the same way Gaza is. Doesn’t make it a non-issue. And “citizenship” deserves quotes if it’s enforced by an invading military.

          Also, good luck getting to anywhere, when all airports and major roads leading out of the occupied territory are blocked and/or destroyed.

            Ukrainian militias have been shelling Donbas for about 8 years before 2022.
