In a lot of ways, the Slava Ukraini libs set themselves up for it. Everything they convinced people Russia was horrible for doing to Ukraine, Israel ended up doing 2x worse and with less believable apologia to Gaza. There was too much cognitive dissonance in the “support Ukraine but not Palestine” position to hold water.

There was literally a Ukrainian guy who got famous for giving a Russian soldier (a seed?) and saying he hopes his blood will water the seed

Only one Gazan ever got close enough to the IOF without getting shot, and that was an old grandfather they gave some water to for a photoshoot, and THEN they shot him and left him for his granddaughter to find; the IOF are so evil it's not even comical; the red skull is literally not this ludicrously evil

doing 2x worse

The Russians would have to be shockingly evil for them to only be half as evil as Israel; for one thing Russia was open to peace negotiations and nearly had it (in 2022?) if it hadn't been for America and Britain; heck, this whole thing only happened because their attempt at a peaceful resolution (with entirely reasonable demands) back in 2014 was fought against tooth and nail; there is no comparison between anything Russia is doing and Israel

hold water

like the water that the Zionists were explicitly and vocally not allowing into Gaza after bombing its water infrastructure, while Ukrainian water infrastructure has not been targeted by Russia
