    I’d expect it to stay away from any conflict in this case, not pick and choose the ones they like.

    But they don’t do it in other cases, so it would be naive to expect them to do it here.

    It’s the same reason many people are pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of people and news outlets that stood with Ukraine being oppressed but find the Palestinians being oppressed very “complicated”.

    Dude, Palestinian Israeli conflict is just extremely more complicated than Ukraine Russian conflict.

      If you believe that you’ve either not heard enough Russian propaganda or too much israeli propaganda.

      And it’s the second.

        Sure everyone with a different opinion is victim of propaganda. Easy way out.

        There are of course similarities, like both conflicts are fueled by nationalistic ideology but alone Russian goals are quite different, one is more of a conventional war - the other is asymmetric, Palestinians had a very limited control over their territories to begin with and there is a long complex history of aggression from both sides. Most importantly there is a functioning solution for Ukrainian conflict that can be achieved with military, not so sure there is such a solution for Israel/Palestine conflict - people were searching for one, for quite some time.
