From FB page of Jewish Voies for Peace: Western news and social media have exhibited a racist double standard in support for different peoples’ resistance against military occupation.

While Ukrainians have rightfully garnered expressions of sympathy and solidarity for taking up arms and making molotov cocktails to defend themselves from Russian violence, Palestinians — who have been struggling against Israeli colonization and occupation since the 1940s — have been demonized and punished for their resistance, including for actions that have been falsely but favorably attributed to Ukrainians by social media users.
For example, social media users have admiringly shared viral images of Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian girl who was vilified and imprisoned for confronting Israeli soldiers throughout her childhood, with the false claim that she is a Ukrainian girl confronting a Russian soldier.
Swipe for some more thoughts from Palestinians and allies on the West’s double standards for what constitutes legitimate resistance.
We must stand in solidarity with everyone resisting occupation, including and especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous people who are not lionized or even humanized in Western media. Wherever there is oppression, may there thrive resistance!
