We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    sure, I maybe jumped on it because I see a lot of online radlibs taking a weird rhetorical position of "Why don't we support both both Ukraine and Palestine?" and maybe too quickly lumped you in with them thinking that it's actually contradictory to support both Ukraine and Israel. Many of those radlibs may even be trying to do a hypocrisy own on the Liberals by pointing out this "contradiction" to them, and my point is that this is a flawed way to approach it as those liberals won't be convinced by pointing out a double standard/hypocrisy, as their true underlying motivations are aligned in both cases and there's no contradiction in their minds.
