you mean attacking military infrastructure after one year+ of shelling? Thats something completely different.

If Ukraine did or does war crimes, they should be condemned.

That's not as bad as 17years of starvation and oppression.

Ukraine is very organized compared to Hamas; they have an actual government that's allowed to function and can instruct it's troops.

If Russia was surrounding Ukraine while the US wasn't giving aid to them, the Ukrainian government would either not exist, or become a "terrorist group" that's divided into a dozen militants that are barely organized. An attack formed by this group would be devastating to Russian civilians, because even if the head of this organization intends on not hurting civilians, will the militant groups that are mostly comprised of radicalized Ukrainians looking for revenge care?

Thats something completely different. If Ukraine did or does war crimes, they should be condemned.

Ukraine should start committing war crimes, maybe that would get them more US support.

Or they would get completely wiped out. Like look at the occupied territory of Ukraine.

Yea lets commit war crimes, who doesn't want to live in such a world.

Oh, so if you are fighting a bigger country and don't have allies, just die. Very smart move.

If the purpose of the comment is to show that the occupation is being merciful by not wiping out Palestine, then you might be ignoring that they're doing just that.

Just look at how much space settlements are taking up in the West bank. They're just doing it more slowly because they'll have useful agents like you to defend them after Palestinians inevitably resort to violence.

The US wouldn't even condemn the building of these settlements, even though their condemnation would do absolutely nothing.

Yea lets commit war crimes, who doesn’t want to live in such a world.

We're already here.

… this is a joke right? Israel has been attacking Palestine for 75 fucking years. So it’s OK if it’s one year, but not 75?

First of all, don't put words in my mouth.

This conflict is not one directional. Please check your history books,.or Wikipedia.
