I certainly agree that the current situation is atrocious, in many respects. Certainly what is happening in Gaza right now is an atrocity.
I’m mainly saying that calling that opinion “Pro-Palestine” or “Pro-Palestinian” seems problematic. There has been no particular shortage of screaming matches in the US in which people accuse other people of being horrible for not being correctly pro- or anti- the right things, and I think this encourages factionalism where none need exist.
My point re: Russia and Ukraine isn’t that that situations are analogous. It’s that one’s heritage may be quite different from where one is now, what views one has, where one wants to live, etc.
