Deeply disappointing to see the Palestinian parties in the Knesset boycott Zelenskyy’s speech and blame NATO, and not Putin, for ‘imposing’ this war on Ukraine. No excuse for this kind of awful behavior.

To critics in the comments: you don't have to like Zelenskyy, agree with his pro-Israeli politics, or every word of his speech, to stand with Ukrainians against Russian aggression & my main objection is to the nonsensical 'NATO imposed this war' line. That's indefensible, sorry.

Not surprising though. Now you’re starting to understand Mehdi. They sided w/ Hitler in WW2, they sided with Saddam when he invaded Kuwait, etc … continuously on the wrong side of history.

Did you listen to the speech he said israel is being invaded by Palestinians. You have a huge following you could simply take two mins to look up stuff before tweeting. It’s not that hard

Man, just shut up. The sheer arrogance and inhumanity of you to be ‘deeply disappointed’ in a people living under apartheid, occupation and in perpetual statelessness. Our people are still in the camps, we can’t return, and Zelenskyy compares Indigenous people to Russian invaders

If you look at the collective historical records of the Palestinians—siding with Hitler, siding with Saddam Hussein—this should not be surprising. People constantly forget the thousands upon thousands of Jews expelled from Arab and Muslim counties globalwide.
