Imagine saying a literal Nazi style Genocide is not black and white.

Are you going to say Hitler actually had a point next?

Godwin’s Law strikes again. The sure sign that someone has run out of logic for an argument

Are you denying israel is committing Genocide?

are you denying the war that russia is waging against ukraine?

No but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

cool, love me some cognitive dissonance.

Just stop. This conflict has been going on for ages and is so complex, people have to actually study this shit to even remotely understand it.

Russia just fucked Ukraine.

All of this aside, the comparison of the two headlines is just dumb. The left side was from 2023, right after it happened. This was the official statement back then. What should they have written instead? They even used quotation marks. Fucking hell.

You understand neither conflict and speak of it as if you do.

There was never a Hamas base found in al Shiva that was a lie. The left headline is Zionist propaganda from the Guardian.

No, it was the official statement back then before investigations were made. This happened a couple of days after the Hamas kidnapped and killed a shit ton of Israelis. There still was some miniscule amount of credibility in this official statement, which turned out to be bullshit after a while.

And yes, I absolutely understand the invasion by Russia. That is not a complicated thing. I do not fully understand the Israel - Palestine conflict and neither do you. There’s also way more parties involved than Israel and Palestine.

What you’re doing is posting disgusting populist propaganda, downplaying the horrors of one conflict to shift attention to another. Just stop. Both conflicts are fucking disgusting.

Israel never had any credibilty before oct7. Every sane journalist knew how much israel lies about everything. Such as how israel killed an American journalist 1 year earlier and lied about it for half a year straight. Putting their lies in the headline is pure undeniable propaganda there is no plausible deniability.

Never have I downplayed what happens in Ukraine. I am only pointing out how the media heavily manipulates people in favor of Israel. Showing the extreme double standard.

And if you think Russia and Ukraine are the only players you understand as much of it as I stated before.

Injecting your emotions into this whole ordeal doesn’t make it any truer. I’m in no way defending Israel by the way. I think Netanjahu is a fucking Nazi prick. But comparing the two headlines randomly like this is a form of propaganda. You’re doing this to invoke anger in people. I came to Lemmy to be free of this shit.

Except for treaties supporting the 2 factions, Russia invading Ukraine is a crystal clear situation. There’s no complexity at all. Putin decided to attack Ukraine once more, after annexing Crimea. Putin is a lying, power hungry sack of shit. Much like Netanjahu. But the whole Israel Palestine thing has a way longer history, with way more parties that were actively involved.

I’m any case, at least we agree that both wars are shit and I do appreciate that.

I am not defending Putin either. Putin is and remains a brutal and oppressive dictator.

But the background of the Ukraine invasion is far more complicated than Russia just wanting to invade for land. This is about NATO promising Russia not to expand eastward and doing so anyway.

If Russia made a pact with Cuba to store nukes and ballistic missiles right next to the US, do you think we would just let that happen? The Russian invasion was entirely predicted by US policy makers far before it happened. Here’s a decent video on it.

So yes Russia broke their promise of not invading Ukraine. But NATO also broke their promise of not expanding eastward next to Russian borders. And NATO the rejected Russian membership application to join NATO.

Ukraine is being used as a battleground for NATO and Russia, which are both bad and imperialistic, to conduct a war. And I do support Ukraine in the war because it’s their land. But it’s not all black and white.
