There is literally no winning for Palestinians. Their slow death is ignored, and their resistance is condemned.

I don’t care about what westerners condemn
Because you've seen what they applaud?
Boy we went from "slava ukraini" to "...slava israeli?" real quick.
It's just "Heil Hitler" at this point
They’ll be doing that in about a year.
Goldfish memory westerners only have enough short term memory space to remember one overseas conflict at a time.
My instinct was to make a joke about libs performatively supporting things instead of materially.
But in this case, I prefer they don't actually provide any material support. So good work libs. You're being so brave 
Don't jinx this I'm pretty sure libs have collectively crowdfunded literally dozens of millions of dollars into Ukraine
Just my coworkers alone have crowdfunded over 5k to deliver medical supplies to the Ukrainian army
I condemn the violent actions, anyway here’s a thousand bucks to Nazi thugs and another thousand to Apartheid thugs
But in this case, I prefer they don't actually provide any material support.
Unfortunately, those are the only cases where America gives material support
And like most Liberal efforts, it's half-assed and meaningless
One fuckin' hour of light?
This is not even quarter-assed
Sixteenth-assed maybe
1/24th assed

Imperialist solidarity.
We must honor the 51st State
Lol oh there’s a building on my commute that had its colors set blue and yellow for the longest time I imagine they’re on this wave too
Pls don’t doxx me
My favorite cringe story about lighting things up in the colors of a nation's flag is when Sweden at the start of the Ukraine war made the baffling decision to show solidarity with Ukraine by lighting up city hall and the Stockholm subway in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The problem with this is that the Ukrainian flag has the exact same colors as the Swedish flag, and since the lamps had already been installed for years they just turned them on on their default setting, just like they had done about once a week whenever there was any kind of national event, no matter how small. But this time it was for Ukraine, not a friendly football game against Slovakia or the queen's birthday or a Eurovision song contest or any of the other reasons they had turned on those exact same lights hundreds of times before. And THAT is how you do a TRULY empty gesture folks.
the queen's birthday
This is a huge tangent but I always find it funny when I'm reminded Sweden has a monarchy
descended from one of Napoleon's marshals who was made king iiirc
When Napoléon came back, he actually asked Bernadotte to come and help him, to which Bernadotte promptly replied 'Get the fuck out of here loser lol, lmao even'
Peak socialism
I'm mad at Ukraine for slightly ruining blue and yellow for me, my favorite color combination my whole life. At least I procrastinated long enough on getting the neat blue and yellow camo pants I wanted thats it's no longer an issue
They are also the colors of the EU flag!
...I'm sorry. I realize that I am further ruining your perfectly harmless enjoyment of a pretty nice color combination.
Blue and yellow also belongs to the shittiest Planetside faction

Has anyone checked in on Eve Fartlow since this started?
The Israeli embassy account posted a bunch of these pictures on Chinese social media and the caption "we hope China stands with us" and it resulted in massive backlash with comments like "Eight Nations Invasion countries", "does someone have a QR code for donating to Hamas" and "Berlin, Rome, Austria, looks a bit familiar". I guess there's solace in knowing stuff like this is driving people in global south countries towards supporting Palestine more.
