    Same. I can’t get my head round people supporting both Isntreal and Ukraine either.

      Do you mean the hypocrisy of supporting Ukraine because they were invaded by Russia (twice now) and Israel which has attacked Gaza and Lebanon (and probably more if they get their way).

      I guess that one makes a lot more sense to me because Israel has a long complicated history. Ukraine is relatively simple: they were happy to separate from the USSR and the invasion was attempted annexation.

      Unless people have their head buried in the sand, Russia has been known to be a Mafia state. Israel, on the other hand, has been so effectively supported in post-world war II propaganda that they even taught us in school that Israel was to become a “safe place” for Jews.

      Syria is completely unlike either of those though. It just appears to be a complete clusterfuck
