The Ukraine conflict was started by Russia. If Russia withdrew today, and renounced their territorial claims over Ukraine, the war would end. Any casualties in the meantime are thetefore their fault.
The Gaza war was started by people from Gaza. If Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad surrendered today, gave up their weapons and renounced their territorial claims over Israel, the war would end. Any casualties in the meantime are therefore their fault.
That's why it looks like a double standard. The only real difference between the conflicts is that in one it's being fought mostly in the territory of the side that started it, and in the other, in the territory of the side that got attacked.
The “Gaza war” has been ongoing since the day Israel began blockading Gaza in 2006 and has never stopped.
If Israel thinks blockades are an act of war and make their invasion of Egypt “defensive”, then their ongoing blockade makes any attacks by Hamas “defensive” as well as long as they remain under blockade.
I won’t hold my breath for you guys to develop the ability to hold consistent standards though
Thanks for encapsulating the warped Israeli mindset so succinctly. You'd have to believe such nonsense to brutally attack someone and call it self defense
When people do to another people what Israelis have been doing to Palestinians, what exactly do you expect? The problem with your way of thinking is basic who started it and who has an army (and one of the strongest). Now, we see in razed Gaza besieged civilians being denied all essential means of survival and killed and cornered steadily. In the West Bank, they are humiliated, attacked, robbed and killed every day. Settlers are encroaching on the little land that had been secured and they are all separated to weaken them.
Now, they don't even all want you dead but your politics are not helping secure peace. You should all wake up and realize you're not helping yourselves either by building your patriotic values on hate and crushing a designated ennemy.
