US when Russia invades Ukraine: They got invaded, we're sending weapons! Fuck off, Russia, we ain't negotiating with an invader. We're helping Ukraine get their land back.

US when Israel's occupying Palestine: We need to negotiate this with peace. Sure, Israel occupies the land, but it's to prevent terrorism! Don't you see the the rockets that are sent into Israel? Think of the civilians in Israel who are being killed by Hamas rockets. We need to de-militarise before we can bring peace.

The suits at Washington speaking on anything dealing with Israel seem very similar to the likes of Russian propaganda being spewed about on RT. Just replace Donbass with Israel, and Azov and Banderites with Hamas and Palestinians. Aside from a few talking points, i just get that vibe.

Before anyone goes all keyboard warrior, I think the invasion of Ukraine and occupation of Palestine are both illegal and unjustified.

As an American, it pisses me off. You can't be both the aggressor and the victim. Unfortunately a lot of it stems from the Orthodox community and they get whatever they want a lot of the time, for whatever reason. The secular folk I know feel it gives them a bad image internationally, which it does. The settlement program needs to end yesterday.
