    Russia occupied part of Ukraine and Israel occupied the West bank and imposing a devastating blockade in Gaza. The comparison is very accurate. Arresting people including kids in occupied West bank is literally kidnapping. Israelis been killing Palestinians including kids since it’s creation

      Ok so Ukraine held part of Russia after a previous conflict and was kidnapping kids there, causing Russia to invade Crimea

      Sorry that’s a perfect comparison indeed

      Maybe you can draw parallels with the Khmer Rouge as well to clear things up for us

          Well technically the USSR took it from Russia and gave it to Ukraine.

          Anyway if you go back far enough the Russians stole it from the Crimeans and later deported all of them, replacing the entire population of the peninsula with proud Russians, ready to man the naval base.

          How’s that for a comparison with Palestine lol

        So you are going to ignore the valid comparison that Israel and Russia are the occupiers therefore responsible from the legitimate and illegitimate attacks by the occupied and you are going to ignore Israelis kidnapping and killing palestinians for decades?

          I’m saying the history of the creation, partition and fighting over Palestine is a little bit different from the history of Russia, Ukraine and the Donbas

          If you want to talk about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and all its horrors including the prisoner situation we can, I don’t need you to ignore it. But it’s dumb to want to pull that into a discussion on why that would somehow make the conflict the same as Rus vs Ukr
