    The Ukrainian workers are certainly getting a raw deal, since their government is selling them out to ruthless privatization and exploitation from the west, and throwing them into grueling trench warfare offenses against Russia without a strategy to actually end the conflict. I can understand a leftist wanting to support “Ukraine” on some level.

    Israel, on the other hand? It’s a country that is for all intents and purposes part of the imperial core, where the more “insulated” (white Jewish) workers are textbook labor aristocrats, while the settlers are poorer but have about as much class consciousness as German Wehrbauers in WWII. So, contrary to what some LeftComs and anarchists are constantly preaching (respectfully), there’s hardly any solidarity to be reached between them and Palestinian workers. Not until Palestinian territories are able to be permanently sealed off from further settlements, and the Israeli bourgeoisie can no longer use them to ward off internal class conflict (as the poorer workers can no longer be funneled to the frontier).
