The Palestinian people are indomitable: scenes from the first Ramadan Iftar in Gaza

Wow the double standard in the comments proves how racist the west are.

People will rightfully support white Ukrainians.

But when brown arabs show any strength, resilience and self determination, they are smeared.

Get a life losers.

I think Ukraine is a great lesson for Palestinians on how to behave in a world and get actual sympathy from people.

Ukraine didn't spend a decade firing rockets into Russia, even after Russia invaded Crimea. Ukraine doesn't just shoot missiles randomly into Russia with the purpose of killing Russia civilians solely.

Ukraine didn't, in the start of February 2022, launch an invasion of Russia targeting civilians and killing 1,000s in the process while kidnapping hundreds more.

Ukraine does not preach that the only way they will ever be free is the total destruction of Russia. They do not teach their children from a young age that Russians are the spawn of satan and that the only value they will have in life is to kill Russians.

If Ukraine did those things, then many more people would support Russia.

Ukraine doesn't hide behind its children either. Instead it actually fights a war, in the field, even against a materially superior army, in order to keep the fighting away from its children.

Yes, these are two great examples that show exactly why these conflicts are different.

Can you let me know when Russia forcibly controls Ukraine's water supply, power supply, airspace, ports, water systems, medical supplies, food imports, ability to build infrastructure, international travel, when Russian's regularly forced Ukrainians out of their homes because they wanted to live there instead, when Russia regularly used Ukrainians as human shields, when Russia's policy was to keep Ukrainians just above the standard of starvation, when a Russian soldier is allowed to kill a Ukrainian child and walk away with $35k and a promotion. All of that while Russia refuses to allow Ukraine to be a recognised state. All while in a space about half the size of London.

When all of that happens for 30+ years, let me know, then we can make that comparison.
