I certainly think that any Ukrainian who has experienced resisting the ground offensive from russia would be genuinely shocked to see what the “war” in Gaza actually looks like moment to moment.

The media pretends they are both wars when one war is genuinely a full scale war and the other is the slow, open air prison extermination of Palestinians with tanks, mortars, assault rifles, starvation and denial of basic neccessities.

If you are in the trenches in Ukraine, you are actually resisting a real, existential force threatening to overwhelm with columns of tanks and a seemingly unstoppable malice of industry. The terrible reality in Israel is that this is what Israelis tell themselves as they commit Genocide and it is used cynically as an invitation both there and in the US into willing blindness about the consequences of our choices and our fear unbridled.

If who Israel is fighting in Gaza had tanks they would have only been ethnically cleansed faster, that is the essential difference here.
