It’s 1938 Czechoslovakia. Here’s why.
- UN status
- Russia and Ukraine are both UN member states.
- Israel is a UN member state, but Palestine is not.
- Civilian deaths
- Over 30,000 civilians have been killed in the ongoing war in Gaza, almost all by Israel.
- Around 10,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine, basically only by Russia.
- Hamas status
- Hamas is a terrorist organization.
- Russia and Israel are both UN member states.
- Invasion vs Occupation
- Ukraine was invaded by Russia.
- Palestine is a Bantustan occupied by Israel. It’s the closest word I have for their status.
The only thing they have in common is both Ukraine and Israel are currently led by Jews.
Israel only counts as a democracy if you do not include Palestine, which is occupied and de facto governed by Israel. I do not count Israel as a democracy personally until Palestine has UN membership and Israel withdraws from Palestinian territory.
Ukraine has no equivalent to Palestine.
The two could not possibly be more different.
Slava Ukraine.
