The world is hypocritical, and absolutely unfair.
But we’ve already know about it, right?
We all see what’s happening in Palestine, and it’s terrifying. It’s devastating. It’s just horrible. No one should experience this level of cruelty, and the world absolutely needs to take actions. Actions, which are yet to be taken.
And it’s disgusting, right?
People do it themselves. They spread news. They write treads and share what can be shared. They go to protests. They boycott companies, that still support Israel. They cancel celebrities, which support Israel. They hate Israel; hate everything connected to it. They do everything to support Palestine; to show that they are not alone.
Palestinians don’t have access to the Internet? People become their voices.
Palestinians doesn’t have food, houses, or means to live? People donate, people help.
People spread information. People block, argue, and hate people who do not speak up about this genocide; hate people who has voice, but still stay unpolitical.
Because it’s disgusting, right? Because no one has the right to see the genocide right in front of them and just look away; just live their lives as if nothing happened.
That’s what happening now in the world. People see the victims of the genocide. People stand with the victim. People help victims. Because you can’t stand with both sides. You can’t support both Palestine and Israel. If you stand with both of them, you just support the aggressor. If you are silent, you just support the aggressor.
You can’t stay silent. You can’t support both sides. You have to hate Israel, and boycott companies that still support Israel.
And that’s right, isn’t it? No one bats an eye. That’s what people do, when one country commits the genocide of another country. That’s what people do. And that’s not cruel. That’s not bad, that’s good and right.
And that isn’t fucking fair.
That’s so fucking unfair that I want to vomit.
Do you know what happened when Ukrainians said the same about russians? People hated Ukrainians. People called them Nazi. People said they were overreacting. People said that not all russians are bad. People took both sides and were fucking helping russians. But when you take both sides, it means that you support the aggressor? Good thing that people just called the genocide of Ukrainians the putin’s war, and that’s it. People called it a fucking conflict, and that’s it.
Ukrainians were and are spreading the information about the war, about the relationship between Ukraine and russia, about history, russia's motives and other aspects, which can't be understood unless you truly know the history of Ukraine. russia’s desire to destroy Ukraine dates way back in time. Their hatred towards Ukraine and Ukrainians has been there for centuries. I’ll not write about all of them (you can read about it on the internet, if you want). But here are the main points for you to understand:
That. Is. Not. A. putin’s war. No. That’s the war russians started against Ukraine in 2014. Yes, russians, not just putin.
It’s not the first war russia started against Ukraine. There were a lot of them.
During all these years, russia killed millions of Ukrainians. As a soviet union, russia occupied Ukraine for 70 years. Ukraine didn’t become a part of soviet union because of their wish. There were wars.
There were three man-made famines in Ukraine, which were conducted by the soviet government (russians if you still haven’t guessed). Russians were taking every food from people, especially in villages, because that’s where Ukrainians had farms, gardens. Russians took everything. If people hid a few seeds just not to starve to death, these people were killed and sent away (where they were either killed and just died because of cold and horrible conditions). Because of starvation, people had to eat their friends, or the corpses of other people.
The second man-made famine is called Holodomor. It derives from Ukrainian words “голод” – “hunger, starvation” and “морити” – “exterminate”. The peak of it happened in 1932-33. Not only Ukraine suffered from it – it also was in other countries, such as Kazakhstan (and some parts of russia even). It is difficult to estimate the exact number of people, who died because of it. Some scientists say 4 million, others – 10 million.
Russia was killing Ukrainians just because they were Ukrainians. Ukrainian language was forbidden more than 100 times. Russia rewrote Ukrainian history and changed the language just to make it more similar to russian.
After the fall of soviet union Ukraine had nuclear weapons. Ukraine gave it up under a few conditions, one of which was that some countries guaranteed Ukraine safety and protection. You know what country was there, guaranteeing this protection? Right, russia.
And in 2014 russia attacked Ukraine.
I said literally nothing to explain the real terror russia committed in Ukraine, but it’s something, right? So basically, if russia is not stopped (like permanently), it will collect more power and attack again. And again. And again.
And russia did this not only in Ukraine. You need to just google “russia’s was crimes” and you will see long lists of the genocides russia committed. Ukraine, Chechnya, Sakartvelo (Georgia, if you don’t know), Syria, and many other countries. Russia is in the constant state of war, which they start all the time.
You see? Russia is a reason for the deaths of thousands of people in different countries.
Ukrainians said this, again and again. You know what happened? People called them Nazi. No, not russians – Ukrainians were Nazi to them.
Ukrainians asked to boycott russians – people said that not all russians were bad. Even now I see posts, video that russia is a good country with a bad government. People like russian artists, sportsmen, and even soldiers. Can you fucking imagine? This soldier killed Ukrainians, raped them and stole from their houses, then posted a video of him flexing his muscles, and everyone just ate it and said that he was sexy. He is a war criminal. And people like him.
When Ukrainians were getting killed for just being Ukrainians, people all over the internet were complaining that Ukraine was getting too much attention. People, who now say “you can’t stay indifferent”, “you can’t be silent”, “you can’t take both sides”, said in the best case nothing about Ukraine. They stayed indifferent, silent, and took the aggressor’s side. Sounds kinda hypocritically, doesn’t it?
Ukrainians were crying for help, and people called them crazy. People said they were too aggressive, and their aggression (harsh words, that’s it) made them uncomfortable. People supported russians, who were committing genocide, and took offence to some words of war victims.
People found some flaws in Ukraine just to say that Ukraine was problematic. Can I say something? Such people are in every country. Homophobic, transphobic, sexist, etc. Yes, there are such people in Ukraine, but so are in other countries. But people didn’t want to see it.
And now, every other post about Palestine has at least one mention of Ukraine. You think to ask for help for Ukraine too? No, to shit on Ukraine.
I was posts that Ukraine has “softest kind of war”, that there is no war or genocide in Ukraine, that Ukraine is just a Nazi country, and deserves everything.
Ukrainians deserve everything just because they are white. They are white, so it doesn’t matter, right? Ukrainians have some privileges. Ukraine got all the attention and help, while Palestine none.
No, I don’t say that Palestine gets a lot of help. And yes, I do think the world has to take actions and actually help.
But it’s not fair to Ukrainians.
You know what russians said on 24.02? They would occupy Ukraine in three days.
You know what the world did during these first days of full-scale war? Nothing. They waited just to see Ukraine collapse. They watched Ukrainians die just to say that it’s a pity, and they stand with Ukraine. They waited, promised some fairy-tails, and continued making business with russia. The world said Ukraine to surrender, to let russia take whatever it wanted, because the world didn’t want any difficulties, wars, and problems. Little they understood that if the Ukrainians gave russia some territories, russia would wait, and then take more, until Ukraine was wholly occupied. And then other neighbour countries.
Only in a few days, when it was clear that Ukrainians were not giving up, the world decided to help. Yes, the world helped Ukraine. After 8 years of the war. 8 years, and no one batted an eye.
Russia committed and keeps committing war crimes. Russians kill people, hit cafés, houses, hospitals, and schools with universities. In Mariupol, which is temporarily occupied by russia, the approximate number of killed people reaches 100 000. It’s hard to tell for sure, because russians occupied the city and made their best to cover the evidence of their war crimes. So basically, they got rid of many bodies, and now are rebuilding the city to say that they are such good people to help poor citizens.
And it’s only one city. In Ukraine, there are dozens of them.
Last winter, Ukraine was mainly without electricity. Russians hit power stations, so Ukrainians didn’t have electricity, water, heating. But once again, no one batted an eye.
Russians hit the dam, and created the flood, which killed people, animals, and destroyed the ecosystem and people’s houses. No one batted an eye. Before the hit, russians said they would do that, but the world ignored it. And then russians did that, what a surprise.
Ukrainians live with the thought that russia can hit them with a nuclear bomb. The government gives them instructions on what to do in this case. Can you imagine? Now people are getting ready for the winter of blackouts, because russia will hit power stations again. Because that’s what russia does – terror.
And still. Ukrainians are called Nazi for hating russians. Ukrainians are hated for still living. Ukrainians are told to just stop fighting, even though the second Ukrainians stop fighting, russia destroys them.
And now, when People, who support Palestine, compare Palestine and Ukraine, saying that Ukraine doesn’t deserve help and to live in general.
I can understand, that you are desperate. I can understand, that Palestine people are dying and crying for help. But I don’t, can’t, and won’t understand how you can support Palestine and hate Israel, while hating Ukraine, diminishing the genocide in their country, and defending russians.
That’s disgusting. Ukrainians are fucking dying, and you hate them for not dying quicker, so Palestine can get more help.
But Ukraine is not an enemy to Palestine. Ukraine wants to survive, just like Palestine. But why Ukrainians have to read, hear all this shit about them?
Here’s a thing – you can and should support Palestine without dragging Ukraine in. Seriously, how is it Ukraine’s fault that the world doesn’t provide the needed help to Palestine? What should Ukrainians so in this case? Stop fighting? Give all weapons to Palestine? I repeat, Ukraine is in the war against countries with one of the biggest army. Ukraine is fighting against the country that has been starting wars all the time and doesn’t have any morals or war rules.
Maybe instead of shitting on Ukraine, you can finally see that russia is still killing Ukrainians, and it’s just not fair to hate Ukrainians just because they want to survive.
Maybe if you are so about principles, you should revaluate your words about Ukraine and Palestine, and understand that you can’t say “don’t support both Palestine and Israel, because this way you support the aggressor” and then support russians or stay silent about Ukraine.
Again, that’s hypocritical.
You think if russia supported Palestine at some UN voting, russians are good guys here? Russians and russia don’t give a shit about them. Yes, that’s harsh, but that’s true. And believe me, at some point they would do the same to the Palestinians. Russians hate everyone who is different from them. And even minorities in russia say that “pure-blood russians” hated them and harassed, even if said minorities have russian passport.
The point of this post is not to say you to stop supporting Palestine. No, of course not. I want you to understand that it’s unfair to shit on Ukraine and support Palestine at the same time. You can’t spread information about Palestine by comparing their experience to Ukraine or saying that Ukraine suffers not enough.
Yes, Ukrainians can be mainly white, but it doesn’t mean that they fucking deserve to die. Why do you put the blame for racism on Ukraine? How is it their fault?
That’s not fair. That’s disgusting and cruel.
No one should go through this. You know, it won’t kill to have some sympathy towards Ukrainians.
You can and should support both countries, you know.
Free Palestine
Слава Україні.
