In the midst of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the name Israel suddenly became the talk of netizens in the world. What's wrong? Apparently related to the news that the Israeli army shot dead a 14-year-old Palestinian teenager in the village of Al-Khader, West Bank, on Tuesday (22/2).
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the teenager's death. As reported by Reuters, they then urged an international investigation into this incident.
Meanwhile, Israel is also rumored to be sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine affected by the Russian invasion. Launching from The Jerusalem Post, the Israeli government will send 100 tons of auxiliary equipment such as medical devices, tents and water purification systems.
This Israeli move apparently made netizens angry and criticized. How not, Israel has been bombarding Palestinian land until now since decades ago and has not provided proper assistance.
We monitor that the name Israel is currently a trending topic in the world. The flow of angry tweets and criticism that assessed Israel's aid to Ukraine was irrelevant considering that Israel also caused many lives to be lost, violence against Palestinian civilians, air strikes, bombings and other actions.
"The world is busy with Russia and Ukraine and is blind about Israel's terrorist oppression of Palestinian oppressors. A 9-year-old girl is hit by a grenade in Palestine." write @hadierberxxx
"It is Israel who exploits the suffering of the world to carry out its crimes against Palestine. Israel considers the media busy with Ukraine and the Russian war and does not see its atrocities in Palestine," wrote @rahulohxxx

"Isn't it interesting that the US is the mother, when Israel is massacring the Palestinians? No economic sanctions are imposed. Why is the West so eager to help Ukraine? Ignoring the atrocities by the Ukrainian military?" write @motsexxx
"It's also strange to see the world's response to Ukraine being attacked by Russia, why has Palestine been attacked by Israel for so long and the world has been silent?" write @muhazzxxx
