Well, it's okay to boycott Russia for invading and occupying parts of Ukraine but god forbid you boycott Israel for invading and occupying the entirety of what we know as post 1967 Palestine.

    Ukraine didn't fire rockets at Russia and kidnap Russians for decades.

    No, but Israel imposed apartheid in the form of a military occupation onto Palestinians for decades.

    Ukraine blew up a major Russian railway a few days ago what are you talking about.

    Ukraine is doing plenty of terrorism against their occupier. Your double standards are showing.

    They're not at war bro it's just a "special military operation" . Same thing the israelis have been doing for the last 75 years.

    On Palestine? Israel doesn't recognize Palestine.

    They declared war against the government of Palestine, Hamas. There is effectively no difference

    Hamas isn't the government of Palestine. That is the Palestinian Authority.

    Wasn't that in response to the terrorism tho, making that terrorism very much not an act of war? Also Hamas didn't blow up a train line, they shot up a music festival. Your false equivalency is showing.

    My only participation in this discussion is clarifying that Israel declared war.

    The significance of which is exactly zero since it happened after the terror attack and the discussion up to that point was discussing the attack killing 1400 civilians by Hamas (before Israel declared war) as compared to Ukraine disrupting Russian supply lines (while currently at war).

    I'm glad that was your only contribution, but if you can't see why I said what I said, I really don't think there's much hope in trying to explain :(
