Glad someone else has noticed the uptick of this stuff, I saw a “meme” that basically said they are against Israel and Ukraine??
Ukraine, much like Palestine, wants to mind their own business but can’t because they’re being invaded. How do you hate Israel but also support Russia? It’s madness.
They hate anything the west supports and support anything Russia/china hate
I have no doubt in my mind that if Israel was supported by Russia instead of the US and keeping all else the same, they would be simping for them instead
