    Thank you for the kind words. I do appreciate it. I genuinely mean it.

    What is happening in Palestine is genocide. I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t agree with this. My somewhat aloof statements are because I don’t speak Arabic or Hebrew and I’ve never been to Israel/Palestine. But yes, Israeli actions are colonialist and genocidal (both current actions and the broader historical context). You don’t need to speak Arabic or Hebrew to see this.

    FWIW, I think Zelenskyy has a much more negative attitude of Netanyahu specifically and Israel’s policies than his statements would lead you to believe. We don’t have any other options because we are critically dependent on aid from US and EU. Ukraine has provided aid to Gaza and Zelenskyy has made (subtle) public statements that suggest thinking beyond a simplistic pro-Israel approach.

    Palestinian leadership has definitely been pro-russia in their statements. It was wrong for me to say Palestinians in general support russian genocidal imperialism. That being said, I don’t hold it against them (as in my OP, I lean toward the Palestiniain side) as they don’t really have any choice.
