    ok, I could look this up, but I’m asking you instead. Why is Israel’s behaviour over the last 10 years in Gaza more justified than Russia’s?

      Because Ukraine isn’t run by a government composed of people dedicated to eliminating Russia as a nation? Because Ukraine doesn’t attack Russian civilians? Because Ukraine isn’t a terrorist organization bent on literal genocide? Because Israel hasn’t occupied any portion of Gazan territory since 2005?

      FAFO is what’s going on here for the Gazans. They fucked around, now they’re finding out. I have many criticisms of Israeli policy, but Hamas are uncivilized barbarians, murderous thugs it’s impossible to negotiate with.

          They don’t smell like roses, but they’re not genocidal terrorists

            You mean the ones who go around killing innocent Palestinians and forcing them into ghettos? The ones that routinely defend Israeli people stealing land from innocent people?

              That’s what happens when you repeatedly lose wars you start with the intention of perpetrating genocide. FAFO

                So basically you are on Israel’s side because they are winning? You’re seriously a band wagon fan for Israel?

                  I have more sympathy for them because they’re not genocidal animals, as any human being with a conscience would.

                    If you don’t think what Israel has been doing to Palestinians is genocide, you are deluded.

            If you think that you are honestly delusional. Neither side here is great, you might want to check some of the stuff IDF has done for the past two decades. But you seem to brainwashed to even want to look at something that might contradict your already established view.

        Because Ukraine isn’t run by a government composed of people dedicated to eliminating Russia as a nation? Because Ukraine doesn’t attack Russian civilians?

        What sources do you make your claims based on? Even in some US and European ones, including the most mainstream, there’ll be evidence to precisely the opposite. Not always, here and there. Let alone in the russian ones.
