Uyghurs, Ukraine and Israel - you can't leave out the genocide being committed by a "western" nation.
Love it when a whattaboutism misses the point as succinctly as this
I mean, I wouldn't regard it as a filter simply because any self-proclaimed leftist who supported Israeli genocide of Palestine would evoke genuine surprise from me. It's just not something you see very often. This is more a rule of thumb for common disappointing scenarios.
Uyghurs, Ukraine and Israel
Interesting way to list. Victim, victim, perpetrator.
Israel is not a victim in the same way as the first two, but viewing them simply as perpetrator is a rather myopic view of the whole situation.
In response to Ben-Gurion's 1938 quote that "politically we are the aggressors and they [the Palestinians] defend themselves", Israeli historian Benny Morris says, "Ben-Gurion, of course, was right. Zionism was a colonizing and expansionist ideology and movement", and that "Zionist ideology and practice were necessarily and elementally expansionist." Morris describes the Zionist goal of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine as necessarily displacing and dispossessing the Arab population
