I normally like Pink Wug's comics, but saying the two wars are equivalent is stupid. In Ukraine Russia invaded for resources and land. Russia bombs apartment buildings, hospitals, grocery stores, and more civilian targets. Ukraine only goes for military targets.

In the Hamas-Isreal conflict both sides have ruthlessly murdered civilians and bombed large apartment buildings in the name of terror. You can argue that this is a result of Palestine being shot at constantly for decades (which it sort of is) but the response is not killing hundreds of civilians.

Tldr: Ukraine goes for military targets, Hamas goes for military and civilian alike

Hamas isn't Palestine?

You know Ukraine military bombed own land since 2014? Civil war started way long ago. More than ten thousand deads before russian invasion.

Classic. You might need to read what the UN says about the "illegal occupation" of "aboriginal" and Palestinian people:

Well, that's a PinkWug L.

These conflicts are not comparable. Like literary in not a single factor that matters.

They both use weapons. That's it.

Wait, the right one is Ukraine, which is the left flag? Why are they arguing? I might be out of the loop

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the Palestine flag. The comic is comparing Palestine to the Ukraine.

The comic ignores the fact though that a two state solution has been proposed many many times, only to be rejected every time.

Just make everything Albania

[–] AlexTheTurtle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great idea. Albania forever 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

[–] dylanmorgan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What am I missing about Albania here?

Just some ironic albanian nationalism, nothing serious.

Also glorius albania 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱 must annex the world, only then will the world know peace

[–] vind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Palestine is on the left.

I think this might be in reference to Zelenskyy saying he fully supports Israel.

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ofc not the same. Who cares about arabs
