Maybe re-read my comment.
From the perspective of the Gazan parents watching their children starve to death, yes, China probably seems a lot better than the UK, which is directly responsible for their situation.
The Ukrainian parent suffering Russian bombing is likely has a much better opinion of the UK for their support, but that doesn't make the UK the good guys. Just less bad in that particular situation.
- AlexandrB 1y agoFrom the perspective of the Gazan parents, the worst of all should be Hamas (who is actually directly responsible for their situation) since they insist on poking the bear and getting Gaza into military conflicts they can't win.
- shazbotter 1y agoYeah, definitely don't blame the country actually committing genocide. You sound like someone who is excusing domestic violence by saying, "if she didn't want to get hit, she shouldn't have talked back". Fuck Hamas, I don't support hamas, but like, Israeli actions in Gaza are clearly inexcusable.
