Should I Be Rooting for Palestine or Ukraine

Issue 87 | September 2026

I will be the first to admit, I’m confused. Should I be rooting for Palestine, or Ukraine? It seems like there’s really good arguments on both sides, and it’s hard to look at things in “black and white.” Look, I’m a very progressive woke - I still post black squares on my instagram - but now, they’ve officially lost me. On one hand, Palestine definitely shouldn’t have killed Charlie Kirk, but I also didn't think that Ukrainian “Jeffy Epstein” guy was great.

I know that midterms are coming up, and I’m stressed. I need to figure out which side to be on, because if I vote for Ukraine and they turn out to be the bad guys, I’m never gonna get hired again.

I told my roommate about my problem, and he asked me “Is real” and I told him “of course it is!” That made me feel better, because he seemed REAL out of the loop. Stay informed guys. But also if anyone has any advice, or wants to tell me who to vote for, my DMs are open. #freeprussia #endapartheid
