    Could flip it around, surely there would be less loss of life if Palestinians simply surrendered to the overwhelming force of Israel. I’m simply arguing for peace they should give up their land to the invaders.

        Woah comrade, I’m just supporting multipolarity in the middle east. I disagree with Israel’s methods and brutal treatment of Palestinians but I support them critically nonetheless. Encouraging resistance will just lead to more deaths so they shouldn’t struggle at all, just like Ukraine should lay down their arms.

      Of course the difference here is that Lugansk and Donetsk have separatist movements that want to join Russia, much like what happened in Crimea. Also, even if it were comparable, what’s left of Palestine is barely a city. There’s no luxury of having a whole country to retreat to.

        Where did those separatist movements come from? Surely Russia didn’t send thousands of people into Eastern Ukraine over generations after the second world war to settle, strengthen ties with Moscow, and extract wealth from the region. Why, that would make them colonizers!

          Lol the Ukrainian ssr literally enforced Ukrainianization policies. Russians and Ukrainians settled most of modern Southern Ukraine in tandem, Ukrainians are not “native” to half of their country. Ukraine and Russia’s division is a very recent phenomenon started by Austro-Hungarian imperialists.

      And then what happens? The imprisonment of two million Palestinians in Gaza under horrible and humiliating conditions would continue. Zionist settlers would still be stealing land in the west bank and do regular pogroms against Palestinians, backed by the stormtroopers of the occupation regime, millions of refugees would still be denied the right to return. The show genocide and humiliation would continue to the applause of white supremacist regimes of the west and their comprador puppet leaders of the Arab world

      Palestinians knows very well who they’re dealing with. They know they are up against a satanical racist regime backed by the most evil empire in history. Yet they choose to resist, preferring to die on their feet instead of being slowly killed on their knees. Life in the Gaza ghetto under occupation was unlivable.
