The Biden administration is asking Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency defense aid to Ukraine and an additional $8 billion for humanitarian support through the end of the year.

    It’s always funny seeing people post that image without the context that Palestine declared war on Israel alongside all its neighbours and attempted to push the Israeli population into the sea.

      And Ukraine kept shelling civilians in Donetsk despite signing Minsk 2.

      And that’s not even taking into account that Israel has continued to annex new land despite it not being a war.

      The correct response to a settler colonial ethnostate being founded in your region by Britain is to try to destroy it.

          i wouldnt call it an attempt, Israel is sure as hell succeeding in killing and displacing a lot of Palestinian civilians and also running the world’s largest open air prison

          Ending the existence of an illegitimate country built on stolen land has nothing to do with genocide. You’re doing the fascist ethnostate thing where you act like a state and its people are the same thing. States come and go, people remain, the ending of a state has nothing to do with harming people.

            The Palestinians have the stated goal of murdering the Israeli people as well as ending the Israeli state

      Well Israel is an ethnostate so it doesn’t deserve to exist.

        Palestine is and was an ethnocracy. They’re hardly any better.

      “The indigenous americans shouldn’t have fought back against the settlers if they didn’t want to get exterminated.”
