Ukraine supports Israel, which is far worse than Iran. So?

    At most Ukraine has provided interceptor drones and warm words. But Ukraine is in no way in lock-step with Israel. By far below how tight Iran and Russia are.

    Also, Iran is no slouch when it comes to executing its own people. While it may not have reached the level of what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, Iran has executed close to tens of thousands for opposing the Iranian government.

    that's a pretty fucking piss poor turboshitlib rationalization of support for genocide. not to mention, the KIIS did a survey that found almost 70% of Ukrainians sympathize more with Israel than with Palestinians. only 1% of respondents sympathized more with Palestinians. the entire nation is in lockstep with Israel, more so than even the United States.

    Ukraine doesn't support the genocide, they've repeatedly voted against Israel in the UN when it comes to the treatment of Palestinians. Ukraine and Israel actually have a strenuous relationship, both because Ukraine's voting habits in the UN and because Israel has always refused to support Ukraine outright in the hope they wouldn't piss off the Russians. You'd know that if you had done even one searchengine search.

    I'm not sure Israel is worse than Iran. Iran is awful nationally to their people while Israel is awful internationally. I'd say the magnitude of their awfulness is similar, which is why the world would be far better off without either of them.

    Iran has committed zero (terms and conditions apply) genocides, while Israel has committed one (terms and conditions apply) genocide. That almost automatically makes Israel worse.
