How Someone Can Support Palestine but Not Ukraine
Yet Still Have a Functioning Brain
Every liberal article or post since 2022 has asked the same question with the same smug confusion: “How can someone support Palestine but not Ukraine?” As if that’s some kind of logical paradox. As if you’re supposed to reflexively root for every country that happens to be under attack, no questions asked, they think of geopolitics like it is just one big Marvel movie about “good guys” and “bad guys.”
On the surface, it looks simple. Both Palestine and Ukraine were invaded by stronger powers. One by Israel, one by Russia. If you stop there, the equation looks identical: oppressed versus oppressor, small versus big, David versus Goliath. So yes, on paper, you’d think it’s consistent to support both.
But the scenario isn’t that cut and dry, and anyone who’s actually looked past a CNN chyron knows why the comparison collapses the moment you go deeper.
