    This is after a year+ of the war? Meanwhile Israel has killed 11,000+ in a month? Wow

      Crazy how Israel is killing more civilians than Russia and they’re still getting the 👍 from world leaders.

      If this doesn’t teach a generation how Israel is above the rules everyone else plays by, nothing will.

      I’m just gonna start saying “Israel killed more civilians in Gaza in 2 months than Russia killed in Ukraine in 2 years.” Maybe that will put things into perspective for their tribal-minds.

      It’s 14k now, and the war in Ukraine has been going for almost 2 years now.

    The contrast between the war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East is stark and depressing.

    As much as I hate to say it, Ukraine and Russia are demonstrating how a modern war should be fought. It’s ideologically messy, morally ambiguous, heavily propagandized, but at least it’s not one side dedicating all of their efforts to killing civilians because they can’t be bothered to find fighters to fight.

      Ah yes, russia famously not dedicating their efforts to kill civilians by checks notes repeatedly bombing theaters, markets and apartment buildings. Gtfo.

        Somehow still managed to kill fewer civilians in 1.5 years than Israel killed in 2 months.

        I guess the real argument is if Russia should be condemned for killing civilians, then so should Israel.

        You can’t excuse one and not the other.

          The two issues have nothing to do with each other. In fact, this sort of thinking leads to everyone priotising the israeli-palestine conflict which sidelines the war in Ukraine, leading to the degredation of the already insufficient support.

      It’s neither ideologically messy nor is it morally ambiguous - quite the opposite. It’s one of the most black and white conflicts of recent times. Russia invaded Ukraine in an ethnic war and marketed it as some kind of liberation. Russia is in the wrong and must fuck off.
