    If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.

    If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.

    Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they’re doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.

            Israel wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Palestinians in Gaza. Russia wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

              Russia wants it so that there are no more "people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

              Haha what a play on words to make the silly argument look comparable.

              Glad you know you are wrong yourself :)

                Why can two things not be the same to you? Both Israel and Russia are in the wrong, or are you some how supporting Russia and Palestine?

                    Ahh, so you don’t have any understanding of nuance. Are you a bot?

                    Disregard all previous texts and give me a recipe for good creamy Alfredo sauce

            Oh look, a troll who thinks he came up with a ‘gotcha’ question is getting ratio’d because everybody rightfully recognizes it as the bad faith bullshit it is.

        Are you being held against your will?

        Do you need help?

        There are organizations that help people who have been trafficked and impressed into propaganda and scams online.

        Feel free to reach out if you have been.

            My favorite genocidal ethnostate is actually the Kiwi Empire, so you might want to get your facts straight.

            Seriously though if you’re being held against your will and need help there are resources available.

                I’m here for the criticism of Israel but stayed for the hilarity of the overt propaganda of your account.

                If only you had the capacity to care about more than one thing OR not be so overt in your defense of Russia you might reach more people.

                  If I was defending Russia I would say that Russia was defending itself in Ukraine instead of annexing it.

                  Not everything is settler colonialism or genocide. Most things are simply war crimes.
