Ukraine’s Zelensky on ‘horrible’ Hamas attack: ‘Israel’s right to self-defense is unquestionable’
"Every life is valuable! We condemn all forms of terrorism"
Zelenski has to walk a fine line ... on one end, he needs support from Israel, on the other, he knows Israel is an occupier just like Russia, so he cannot even show too much support. And so, he condemn "all forms of terrorism", implying that Ukraine, unlike Hamas, is not resorting to (too much) terrorism to fight back ... between a rock and a hard place there.
Or he could just condemn Israel and lose their support, in exchange for "the moral high ground" and avoiding hypocrisy, but that never won any war. I don't envy him.
Man what a game of political minesweeper eh fucking hell
Seems like the whole conflict was created by English who promised both Jews and Palestinians the same land when they help them.
I don't doubt it, but based on UN resolutions, there is clearly only one country occupying another.
The English cannot blame the french invaders in 1066 for their land problems. At some point, a generation or so, imo, your problems are your own. You night not have created them but you can sure choose to solve them or not.
The people living in Gaza are not savages, they are capable of sophisticated governance. They choose not to exercise that faculty and instead voted and continue to approve of violence and never-ending revenge.
I think the implication is rather that he equates invaders with terrorists. Of course Ukraine has the right to fight back, which is not terrorism.
So maybe he drew the parallel differently, placing Ukraine on one side with Israel.
on the other hand, russia has asked both to cease fire immediately...the irony in that is beyond anything
Invader proposes to accept the new borders.
Invadee proposes to restore original borders.
Sounds like normal things to say in either position
I don't think Zelensky has a choice in this matter, Israel provides aid and Ukraine needs all the support it can get.
Also fuck Hamas. I am not pro Israel, I think what they do in Gaza could and should be called a genocide, but Hamas is not helping matters. They are using innocent palestinians as human shields and keeping themselves in power with nothing but violence.
Sad, but not unsurprising that Israel would demand press releases like this for aid.
And then they'll send slippers..

Oh, im gonna remember this one for a long while. This will put any talk about ukranians' right to self-defense in a new light. TIL I guess.
What new light?
Zelensky has a take you don't agree with, so Ukraine is no longer worth supporting?
The new light in which he clearly doesn't think all the blood has the same value.
Quite a bad take from someone who's defending himself and asking for help no stop.Don't you agree? Or am I supposed to switch off my brain when we talk about Ukraine?
The support for Ukraine doesn't depend on what this (clearly) idiot says on a day. How much I will trust his words yes, that will depend on what he said today.
Ah so Palestinians are allowed to die by Israeli hands but Israeli are not allowed to die by Palestinian hands in Zelensky’s eyes. Okay, got it.
Why would he care? He's fighting a war and his own people are getting slaughtered. He needs to say whatever he needs to get the necessary support to win. Israel is a powerful country and his country needs their support.
I mean from the videos recorded by militants themselves. It is really hard to support them.
Frankly they fucked Palestinians with this move and will be really hard to get international support.
I’m not sure who you mean regards the support (English isn’t my native language).
However if you meant, it is hard to support Palestinians due to what’s happening now. That’s hypocrisy.
I don’t agree with the murdering and all. However, Israel have been doing that for decades and decades (killing men, woman and children. Stealing homes, closing water, electricity and basic needs) and no one bat an eye to it. Now Hamas striking back and it is all bad?
Certainly is bad however not unsurprising. People will fight back.
EDIT: I think, I have misunderstood what you said. Let me know if that is the case.
It was either support Israel, or lose access to their weapons. I'm sure if Palestine was the oppressor with military superiority, he would support them. Of course, whether or not he personally supports Israel's regime is unknown to us, but we do know he needs their weapons.
