Settlers — Israeli Jews living in the occupied West Bank — and soldiers have killed 51 Palestinians in the West Bank since Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah. At least two villages, Al-Qanub and Wadi Al-Sik, have been entirely depopulated as a result of the violence by Israeli settlers.

If Europe cares so much about Ukraine having its lands annexed and illegally ocuppied by Russia I’m sure it will care about Palestine being in the same situation… am I right? Am I right?
This is an interesting analogy.
Last I checked, Ukrainians weren’t gunning down Russian teenager.
Probably because the Ukrainians have been free for decades and not locked up and abused for decades.
Also they are killing many Russian teenagers every day, who do you think is fighting on Russias side the elderly?
Even more interestingly: the Russians aren’t full-blown racist towards the Ukranians - they even try to force to Ukranians in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine to become Russian nationals whilst Israel does the opposite.
The Israelis are so racist towards Arabs in general that they created a Citizenship separate from Nationality, made Citizenship be tied to religion/etny (i.e. Israeli Jew Citizenship, Israeli Arab Citizenship) and moved rights from Nationality to Citizenship, making some Citizenships (Israeli Jew) have more rights that other citizenships (Israeli Arab, who for example can be kicked out of their homes, as done frequently in Old Jerusalem).
I mean, imagine the level of racism that takes to change the basic concepts of citizenship and nationality (which are tied together everywhere else) in your country, to by law and at the most essential level create an underclass of citizens with fewer right and do so along etnic and religious lines.
It’s not by chance people say Israel is an Appartheid state but nobody says that about Russia.
The thick racism that’s superimposed on the calous disregard for the lives of the civilians of the “other” side (the “calous disregard for human life” being a feature of both Israeli and Russian behaviour in these wars) probably makes the whole Israeli Occupation generate way more hate than what the Russians are doing.
What was Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine? To prevent the genocide of Russians in Ukraine.
Not saying he was right, but that word sure does get tossed around a lot these days, both in describing conflict and in starting new ones.
