      I volunteered for Clinton in '92 for universal healthcare and gay rights and got the end of the social safety net and don’t ask don’t tell probably before you were born, you have bought into the Kang v Kodos system and don’t even realize (or get that reference because you were 8 in 1996)

        I wasn’t.

        It’s just that while there is a genocide going on in Gaza.

        There’s a genocide roughly 10x as large going on in Ukraine, and that one is threatening to spill out in ww3, and nobody from Ukraine started it.

        Russia is trying to make as much trouble in the world as it can to distract from Ukraine, and I’m willing to let Gaza keep going as it has for a while.

        Yes, I’m a genocide-whatever-er, and I don’t care, because the other genocide is so much worse.

        But as the ml-boys say: “If Gaza wants it to end, they just have to surrender to Israel”, like they say Ukraine should.

          Civilian deaths in Ukraine over the last ~3.5 years are still smaller than the substantially underestimated civilian death toll in Gaza after 1 year (which came from a very stringent set of definitions that basically can’t be executed on anymore because of Israel bombing the hospitals).

          There’s no way you could get to this conclusion except some hysterical idea about Putin wanting to put all the Ukrainians in camps as though that’s what he did with Crimea.

          You can’t compare troop deaths to civilian deaths. Gaza is a bigger deal and has no offramp. Ukraine should have just given Crimea and Donbas water access to Russia for peace to begin with. Also, this betrays you only care about white deaths, which is preeeeettty racist.

            Thank you for exposing yourself.

            Gaza should have just surrendered to Israel completely, let them do whatever for leave to begin with.

            I’m not white, I’m hindu, you racist son of a bitch.

          Unlike Gaza, Ukraine could surrender. Putin wants the naval bases in Crimea and water from the Donbas for that. Netanyahu wants to eradicate or subjugate all non-jewish races like Hitler in a yarmulke. There IS no surrender, they killed the leader of Hezbollah (and everyone within three blocks) BECAUSE he was acquiescing to a ceasefire Netanyahu can’t have and stay out of jail
