It’s a real shame we are not allowed to say certain things on social media. While I agree with the sentiment sometimes, the ongoing events in Gaza make me internally wish for very horrible things to happen to certain people who have a specific ideology.
Alcohol isn’t everyone’s friend, I was an alcoholic at 18, and refused to acknowlege that fact and kept denying it in the face of all the evidence. When I finally asked for help and quit drinking at 45, I realised how much of a mess I’d made of my life. Thankfully I’ve been sober since (going on 7 years now). Addiction is not a joke people.
An engagement also against brown people. Indeed
“you should also point out that they’re BS though. Who cares whether Russia wants that or not, Ukraine is a sovereign state and they can make their own decisions, just like other former UDSSR states.” My bad, I assumed that was a given.
True, although the line of puppetry is a little blurred between the US and Israel. While ultimately they rely heavily on the annual military aid, their influence in US politics is immense.
Believe me I know how the western population view Gaza, unfortunately they are unable to bring change about, when I mention the west etc, I am talking about the governments. Much like the millions that protested around the world prior the second Gulf war that ousted Saddam, the people were against it, but it went ahead anyway. I’m very happy with the recent comments by the Spanish premier calling Israel a genocidal state, but as long as the US veto remains, and European guilt (specifically Germany) means that Israel will seemingly have immunity no matter how many atrocities they commit.
I’m talking about the security gurantees for Ukraine to have the nukes removed, and Russia had always maintained they do not want Nato on their door step. I am not justifying anything, I am merely pointing out the talking points used by various parties.
I will accept that, as in fairness I haven’t delved into that conflict deeply, on the surface it seems like the whole NATO push was to incite Russia in the first place, but again, I’m not too well versed in this. As for the blackmailing, that became pretty obvious when Trump took power but I’m unsure if that was the case before. Thanks for the info.
Nice name btw, I’m Lebanese so quite likely more biased than most against Israel. But I cannot for the life of me understand the worlds outrage at Russia in Ukraine while the events in Gaza over decades has been so much worse. As an Arab raised in the west, this hypocricy and double standards has always pissed me off. If they’re white christians then they must be defended at all costs it seems. (I understand this is a gross over simplification and the Russian agression could possibly threaten Europe). But to the manority of people of colour in the world see it this way. Just look at the latest bullshit from Trump bringing white afrikaaners to the US citing genocide. it’s insanity.
And with the orange toddler in the white house still bleating on about taking Gaza, it’s unlikely to stop anytime soon. Obligatory fuck Israel and their genocidal policies.
I wonder what the poll would be if a global one asked if the state of Israel should be disolved and given BACK to the Palestinians, just a random musing.
