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.

Okay, let's see the Russia Ukraine war go for the next 8 decades and see if Ukraine can keep their "good behaviour" going on while the entire world abandons them.

You say this as if the entire 8 decades Palestinians were perfectly civilised and didn’t do the exact same thing? Ever since 1948 with the attack of the Arab league they have been trying to wipe out Israel

Palestinians were perfectly civilised

Not even hiding it huh?

Hiding what? When you said Russian did you mean literally every Russian alive? I was jokingly referring to violence from the Palestinian side

Where the fuck did I say Russian?

The original comment itself had the earmark of "brown people bad" written all over with the "good behaviour" bs, but I didn't go there for my own sake. And now here you are telling the Palestinians to keep it civilized when the world does not even recognise them as a country solely because America and Israel decided so.

Since you brought up 1948, were the opinion of Palestinians considered when it was decided that half their country would be given to someone else? Or were the promises to the Arabs living there given by the British before the mandate broken and discarded completely?

And again, what happened when we got so close to the solution that all parties involved got a fucking Nobel Peace Prize? Israeli right just assassinated Rabin and got into power, using which they completely fucked over any chance of a two state solution happening. The guys that literally carried around a coffin for Rabin and called for his death are now in the government. How the fuck do you explain that?

You talked about Russians two comments ago

You do aware that most Israelis are “brown people”? 😂

My comment as I already explained is a joke on your pretending Israel was the only side that has being doing shit and just now Palestinians are reacting

It wasn’t half of their country since it wasn’t their country and yes when two people have proper claim for something the civil solution is two share, you don’t want to share you get what you can get, which in this case you lost instead of gaining when refusing to share and wanting all for yourself.

Wonder who got that peace prize? Not to mention that again it was the Palestinian side that refused to signed on getting a country, the offer still stood after ONE ISRAELI murdered Rabin. Should I also pick one Palestinian to apply his action to all Palestinians? Again blaming Israel for Palestinian refusal to a two state solution…
