    supports Israel’s right to defend itself

    Yeah, that’s not wrong.

    AND that Israel is killing and starving innocents civilians

    Yeah, also not wrong. Because in this instance Israel isn’t defending itself. They’re not taking out imminent threats; at least not exclusively. They’re using an attack to justify imperialism and genocide. We even have a very recent example of how that’s usually a disaster for everyone involved.

      It is utterly unsurprising that large swathes of the internet is rejecting what seems to be a reasonable stance that’d provide the best outcome for everyone.

      In this case the leaders of both these nations are dumpster fires and there are extremist elements present in both… but most people just want to live and have guaranteed access to clean water and social services.

        Also, Russia has massive propaganda efforts in place to affect public opinion online. Deepening the divide everyone is definitely in their favor; especially while they would definitely like us to not pay attention to Ukraine.
