The truth is simple - the whole world gave up on Palestine long time ago, Israel is doing what they want and nothing can be done about it, they have two trump cards - the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, that's why nobody fucks with Israel, even small criticism of Israel government and it actions might turn you into the antisemit and NOBODY wants to be labeled as antisemit in this world. While Ukraine is a completely different thing, no one could imagine that after the nightmares of Yugoslavian wars there will be another war in Europe that will tore another european country apart.

You forgot the nukes :snoop:

Edit: Also
2021: UN passes 14 anti-Israel resolutions in 2021, only 4 against all other countries - www.israelhayom.com
2020: Israel most condemned by UN in 2020 – 17 compared with six for the rest of the world. | United Nations News | Al Jazeera
So yeah we kind of do get criticized, often

You wouldn't be here talking about Palestinian kids in the ukraine thread while a war is waged on ukrainians when you hardly posted anything here to begin with. Your agenda is pretty clear. Also tell me how bad do you feel about israeli kids who get shelled by hamas? Ever said anything about it here? If no you a nice sanctimonious hypocrite.
I made a comparison but OK, replace Palestine with Isreal then. Also, Pubmed war surgery and you'll find articles from me and my colleagues about Israeli war casualties. I have a paper coming soon about gunshot wounds in the US, mainly white. You didn't understand what I said and summarised something while emotionally charged.

@Tomice
Yes, but covering a story and sending aid is hands-off helping. My point going back to Ukraine is that even though Putin is a psycho and this is illegal, the likelihood remains that Russia will totally flatten Ukraine and commit war crimes until they get what they want. Lots of people will die and condemn Putin but it's going to happen because on the ground, Ukraine is alone.

No I get what you are sayin and you can take side idk. But I don't agree the world does not care about Palestinians as you think, the conflict is getting a lot of attention, when there are hostilities everyone covers it. there are many protests in Europe/America, student movements, BDS, UN condemnations once a week. They get more aid per capita then any other population in the world. every big news organization have a branch in the west bank/Gaza. You just can't compare reactions to current events and to the same shit happening for 80 years now.
This. I don’t understand this idea that people don’t care about these other conflicts. They are in the news here all the time for years and years now. There are sporadic protests in most western countries about them. And so on.

Wouldn't emotionally charged be another way of saying bias, which by the way is nothing wrong, you are not wrong for feeling stronger for family rather than strangers or people like you rather than those very different from you, it's not hypocrisy. We are geared this way.

I don’t understand why the comparison gets made so often.

We all emphasise with humans but the truth is that there are millions and millions of refugees and that this is something nobody in Europe expected this to happen on our borders two weeks ago. It’s a pressing issue
Because people want to blame the evil western white man for everything. Simple as that. And while white people are suffering they end up going with a series of irrelevant whataboutisms to make sure the focus is still on the evils of white western nations.

All these americans who are dickriding Putin and blaming the west and the usa for the war in Ukraine are 100000% on a payroll from russian oligarchs, fucking traitors

I like you bro but this post is full of bullshit.
Nah don't get me wrong , i have absolutely nothing against you , but i just wanted to see your perspective , but we see things differently .

You probably know shit about it yet you keep saying stuff related to it. Albanians are Illyrians? :lol2: Let's make you guys saints. Albanians didn't demolish Serbian churches all over Kosovo and they were in majority there. Unrest and march unrest in 2004 probably didn't happen too. No wonder there are majority of Albanians there now. That's a different thing. Serbs living in Kosovo at the moment are having life quite impossible due to torture they are witnessing.

Quite a lot of pseudo historians here (not on the forum, but those who write "history"). Even some people like Saric (Croat) or Deretic (Serb) are frauds, eventhough they speak positively about history, but it's nonsense. That's not history. That's bullshit.

As for 90s, there's quite a lot of shitposts flying around, eventhough majority is reading wikipedia and daily mail. I'd say that's not the correct way to learn history. By the way, it takes 30 years in order to access archives and study that period of time, because they say 30 years is required to be less biased and to enter coolheaded into conversation. Archives for 90s are being released at this point and regarding history, facts and knowledge it's quite a big news. Although, certainly not a mainstream because people don't really give a fuck on an average level. But it's what academics do and those type of texts can't re-write history as every single word will be used for a primary, or sometimes for a secondary source, which means that's all based on facts. When I say facts it's not guru type of shit from the transfer market, but actual facts where each and every one sentence can be checked if falsified. I'm actually looking forward to reading studies done by historians. And if there's any work deemed to be false, it can be proven so.

I never denied war crimes. They did happen. But I see 20-30 different numbers. In the end it's going to be 500k women raped and 5 million killed. It's like every year those numbers grow. What's the point of those pictures? To show that people died? It was a horrible stuff going on, of course people died. And I saw even worse images related to Donbas. Much worse actually.
When did i talk about history man , i said it's bs to quote something from 700-800 y ago (Car Lazar and stuff) , but 20 y ago ain't history man , i was old enough to remember everything .

Yeah we believe we are Illyrians , but i don't give a shit about it , the reason why Balkan is a shithole because everyone here believes to be better than others , look at USA for example , they don't have any history (Modern USA , like 500-600 y ago) but they are greatest country in the world , but people in balkan keep telling you how good they were 2000y ago , like who gives a fuck ,everyone including Serbs , Albanians want to go abroad and that's a fact .

Haha man a lot of Albanians are orthodox and Catholics , if there is something i like about us , it's our religion harmony , maybe any stupid mf did harm any churches , but saying churches were demolished all over KS it's a lie man (you're not lying , but you've been lied) :)

Serbs in Kosovo are doing better than most of average Serbians in Serbia , they don't pay taxes , electricity specially in North Mitrovica , and i know this 100% , because alot of Albanians rent their mining rigs there , so i can guarantee you this 100% .

And whenever you have free time , i would liket to invitet to come to Pristina , we will visit one of the most visited restaurants (Ento Kuco) owned by a Serbian , and you can ask him how good he is goind , like "the elite" likes to go there .

And i'm not saying Albanians like Serbs , because a lot of them don't , specially the ones who got their family members killed , but in Pristina you won't have any problem for sure .

Anyway, we see things very differently so : Let's agree to disagree .

Russian state media doesn't care who you are, what have you done and so on, if they can find an american citizen who is willing to criticize BIden, USA, NATO, Europe etc. then they will shoot an interview with him and then will show it on every state media tv channel for billions of times

Israel is a fait accompli. Not to mention it treats arabs better than arabs treat each other. Does occupation suck? It sure does but like you said too many people, especially on the arab side, would rather it keeps going this way rather than resolve it.
You're making a good point in both post

I don't know man , i know they have like a lot of problems with the way their health system works and other stuff . But if you're an entrepreneur USA is the way to go , it's not a coincidence biggest/best tech companies comes from there , i know life has a lot more things , but this is one of the things i love about them .

I've been to Europe too (I loved Swiss/Norway) , but if you're an emigrant and want to "make it" it's going to be kind of hard to be a millionaire in EU starting from zero (some did , but it's harder) , while in USA it's possible and easier .

I've been trying to win Greencard for years , but not lucky enough :D

That's the difference - in europe you can have an average salary and live a good life with it, in america you are pretty fucked up if all you have is an average salary, healthcare is expensive as fuck, taxes on everything, the rent prices are abysmal, breathe in and breathe out and you already have to pay somebody for something. And of course we live in the American world - the entertainment industry, sports, marketing, technology, almost all of this is the work of Americans

I've waffled a lot but all I want to say is:
- governments are looking out for their nations and people which is a duty and I get that, but even sending troops to Ukraine early in the conflict as a show of defiance would've saved many Ukrainians from death and that should be the priority above all else
- Putin knew he wouldn't be opposed so he continues to pummel innocents, he knows that he'll get away with it
- if the world community doesn't help each other and show Putin that Europe will go head-to-head with them (even nuclear), he'll continue to kill people for nothing and inspire other crazies to follow

Everyone here mostly waffle. And I learned a new word from you so cheers
