    A Free Ukraine does not mean a genocide of Russians.

    Because it’s not a free Ukraine that insists on covering 100% of Russia’s territory.

    Palestine is not Hamas. There is an internationally recognized Palestinian Authority that has actually recognized the 2 State Solution.

    The last election was held 19 years ago. Hamas clearly won with 76 out of 132 seats. Pretending that the Palestinian Authority is somehow speaking for Palestinians because they say the stuff you want to hear is rediculous wishful thinking.

    The same Palestinian Authority is being ratfucked over every step of the way by Israel. Undermined, delegitimized, made to look ineffective, ignored, silenced

    You don’t need to delegitimize people on year 19 of a 4 year term where they actually lost…

      About 30% of the people in Ukraine have Russian add their native language, that’s what I meant. Putin has used then as an excuse to take territory.

      Part of the ratfucking is precisely destroying the capacity of a society to function as a democracy. Create a situation of constant anomaly in which elections cannot meaningfully take place. Them criticize whoever is trying to do anything moderate as illegitimate. All the while you keep using these excuses to push through a radical expansion of settlements. How can you have free elections under apartheid? Saying otherwise is either ignorance or hypocrisy.
