🧵 It’s amazing the small but loud number of people for whom the Israel-Palestinian conflict didn’t get enough coverage daily for 70 years that they can’t allow one day of Ukraine coverage to not be about “what about Israel”…this laser obsession is how antisemitism works
Bombs are falling on Ukrainian cities, hundreds or thousands are fleeing, a massive war is going on, thousands reported dead and wounded; but for a handful of obsessed people…Ukraine can’t have one day of coverage. For them it’s always “what about Israel, Palestinian”
Literally every other day of the year often has news items concentrating on the tiniest aspect of the Israel-Palestinian issue; like ONE eviction in east Jerusalem. But these folk see 300,000 people fleeing in Ukraine and can’t allow for one second just focus on that.
They pretend like no one cares about the “occupation” if there is focus on Kyiv…but all year all they tweet about is this one MidEast conflict. They are angry to see anyone else in the world…99.99% of the world, get a focus on suffering.
Some of them are disingenuous in the extreme because they say “what about resistance” in the MidEast but ignore Afrin. They don’t actually care about “resistance”
And some of them are not just pro-Moscow but have a history of being pro-Assad, and anti-Kurdish…so their actual view has nothing to do with Palestinians really, it’s just part of a worldview of awful alliances that uses Israel to distract .
