Why the world is supporting Ukraine over Russia and not Palestine over Israel?

[RawaajUK]

The UN says that most of the Palestinians killed, 1,444, were civilians, including 475 children and 246 women.

I don't know how you determine one support being greater over the other as I'm not too certain about the specifics about that but if you are talking about why Russo-Ukrainian War gaining more media attention then I'd say it's due to the amount of casualties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Israel%E2%80%93Palestine_crisis

"OHCHR notes the report of the Minister of Interior of Ukraine, according to which as of 7.30 a. m. 15 April (local time), at least 2,700 civilians had been killed, including women and children"

The invasion of Ukraine in 2020 been going on for only months whereas the Palestine crisis has lasted 1 year with around around 250 civilian casualties.

Russia is deliberately targeting civilians whereas Israel isn't and the numbers show it. Russia is actively committing war crimes.

I might've misunderstood some numbers about the civilian casualties but regardless the point I made stands.

[jeemm]

According to this there were 232 Palestinian casualties from between 10.5.2021 to 2.4.2022

Because just because there are two conflicts in the world doesn’t mean these conflicts are comparable?



First of all, most of the world argues that Israel occupies Palestinian territory.



The difference is that most of the world also supports Israel existing as a sovereign state with all the associated rights of sovereign states.


Then the simple fact of the matter is that economically, diplomatically and militarily, the Palestinians are effectively irrelevant. They are an insignificant power. Meanwhile, Israel is economically, diplomatically and militarily quite a powerhouse for its size. Logically, countries will pursue that is in their interest. And your average voter doesn’t care about a relatively small ancient conflict with no impact on their lives thousands of miles away.


The more precise problem is that these conflicts are simply not comparable and equating them is just stupid. First, this conflict between Ukraine and Russia is far bigger, affects far more people and also kills far more people. Supposedly, it has killed more Ukrainians in 2 months than Palestinians died in 70 years. Obviously, countries will respond differently to conflicts of completely different scales.


Second, the conflict is inherently different. You won’t see the Ukrainians launch missiles at Nizhny Novgorod nor are they committing suicide bombings in Moscow. Moreover, Ukraine doesn’t seek to wipe out Russia. Well, both of that is the main gameplan of one of the two Palestinian governments. Hamas commits indiscriminate missile attacks, engages in terrorism against random civilians and seeks the total destruction of Israel.

The world pretty much turned off to everything in the Middle East when terrorists started hijacking planes, cruise ship, killing civilians in Europe.

Also for majority of the western world there is an element of sameness with Ukraine.

Why would anyone in the west want to support Palestine, even the other Middle Eastern countries don’t, other than give them weapons.

Yeah it does need resolved, however those countries that can help have burnt a lot of bridges.

We support people not country... bcs everywhere, in every place, in every country are suffer.. so better not to talk about country. Because I help my brother in Palestinian and i have an uncle in israel and i love them.. i have a good friend from russia, but i also wanna help ukraine.. so country is not matter, but people

The Palestinians had their chance for a peaceful nation in 1947. They chose to go to war and attack Israel instead, and they lost just about everything. All the Palestinians did after that was use violence. Firing missiles and using suicide bombers won’t get you any friends, and what are the other muslim nations doing to help Palestinians? Virtually nothing.

I call this ''selective humanitarianism''.
:D
Let's face it - to most people on the planet ''the others'' are (meanwhile) just an entertainment item, or
a justification that... ''I am a much better person than (*insert a group, or person*) da da da.''

Without Ukraine, Europe would not need to worry about gas supplies
Without Palestine, Israel would not need to worry about justifying their existence.

It all comes down to: convenience.

Israelis aka jews are the original inhabitants of where we refer as israel/palestine.
Arabs came from arabian deserts and invaded levant and north africa
Arab countries builded on stolen lands.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

The World isn't supporting Ukraine. The enemies of Russia are opposing Russia. And the World isn't supporting Israel. The Alies of Israel are supporting Israel.

[AviatorTom]

They are two totally different situations.
Russia invaded the independent country of Ukraine.
Israel never invaded Palestine.

[Jaysonava]

Because there are vested interests in the Media being encouraged to a cause that benefits political establishments.

I don't know the details but that tends to be shat happens

[Anonymous]

Because Palestine attacks Israel constantly. He'll in 1948 they attempted the mass genocide of the Jews in the holy land and failed, they paid with the loss of their lands.

[007kingifrit]

palestine doesn't exist, was never invaded, and are always the ones to attack first

it was never a country.

[Anonymous]

Because the Jews would start screeching about anti-semitism and how they are the victims in all of this.

[NYlatefun]

Because Israel has unwavering support from Europe and the US, sadly, it’s as simple as that!

[anylolone]

Because israel isn't invading palestine.
