    Fuck Ukraine for not backing it. Why the fuck is my country aiding Ukraine with billions when they turn the blind eye on Palestine??

    Actually it is because they are getting American support that they have to Ukraine is a vassal state, their foreign policies have to align with the USA. I don't blame Ukrainians for this, it's foreign policy bullshit.

    I dont doubt that part of it is to appease usa, but there is no doubt that ukraine always has been an ally to israel. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/19/palestinians-in-ukraine-decry-double-standard-as-kyiv-supports-israel The interesting part is that israel is one of the few countries that hasnt sanctioned russia.

    That article is from 2024, when Ukraine was still relying on support from the US. And it was after October 7th, so it’s no wonder that Ukraine was backing the US decision at that time.

    Because ukraine supports israel and vice versa. they see it as weakening russia and Iran. https://archive.ph/JCZ0j And let’s not pretend that ukraine doesnt have a “nazi” issue https://www.newglobalpolitics.org/how-nazi-collaborators-are-celebrated-in-wartime-ukraine/

    Well, yes but they have full support of eu. Financial and military. Europe sees it already as a hybrid war. Somehow europe recognizes that settling on someone’s land is bad when this land belongs to white people and white people only. I can see how politics work. Thank you

    And the most important point to consider is Ukraine's yes vote wouldn't have saved a single life. It's not just a matter of politics, it's a matter of survival.

    I wouldn't hold it against a Palestinian if they abstained from a vote about Ukraine. They both have their own serious problems to focus on.

    I’m sorry but this is the first i heard of this happening in Yemen, a genocide? What the heck do you have a link or something so i can read about it?

    If i remember correctly everyone says what’s happening in Yemen is a civil war between the Yemeni people and two departments of the government trying to take control of the country.

    On a side note i have met many Yemeni brothers in saudi arabia who have been blessed with a business they make their livelihood on and massive families, Yemeni people are actually one of the most business savvy in Saudi Arabia so idk why would there be a genocide perpetrated by the government when here they’re treated as one of their own…

    I feel this is largely influenced by their... troubled past with Jews. I think their position on Israel is them trying to make up for their crimes against Jews (and other ethnic groups) during WWII. Misguided and likely influenced by lobbyists, but still.

    Ukraine only abstained so they don’t jeopardize their support coming from the US and the rest of Europe. If they really hated Palestine, they would have voted against the resolution. Abstaining is a clear sign that they are trying to stay neutral to not isolate them from any potential ally.

    parent
    2 points HenryUK_

    Yeah I can agree with that too. Ukraine is currently suffering their own brutal genocide too and with US backing although not ideal they are abstaining which is better than being against it, if they lost US support it could mean a lot of trouble for them.

    Israel basically controls the US at this point and seems to have to much influence in general, it's sad to see.

    I'm sure with time and in the future they will be In Favour.
