If Israel could stop actively trying to start world war 3, that’d be nice.

When even an invader tells you to knock it off, you might be the bad guy.

When Russia, Turkey, Hamas, and Iran condemn you, I find little reason to believe their collective arguments.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-turkey-hamas-and-others-blast-israels-killing-of-terror-chief-nasrallah/

Russia also criticized Israel for killing Nasrallah, with a statement from the country’s foreign ministry saying it “decisively condemn[s] the latest political murder carried out by Israel” and “once again insistently urge[s] Israel to immediately cease military action.”

Rich coming from the guy who failed to assassinate Zelensky. This really puts all this into perspective for me.

none of the countries have killed as many children as Israel

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Chechen_War

100,000–130,000 civilians killed (Bonner)[21] 80,000–100,000 civilians killed (Human rights groups estimate)[22][23] 30,000–40,000+ civilians killed (RFSSS data)[24] At least 161 civilians killed outside Chechnya[c] 500,000+ civilians displaced[citation needed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Chechen_War

Estimate total number of casualties: 30,000 civilians dead (25,000 killed and 5,000 missing) according to AI[24] ~80,000 killed in Chechnya (GfbV estimate)[25] More in neighbouring regions 40,000–50,000 civilians killed (Kramer)[26] More than 600 killed during attacks in Russia proper.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War:

11,000+ civilians killed (confirmed)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war

Number of killed civilians by Russian forces: 6861 - 8729+

Add a couple hundred of killed Georgian civilians and you have a range for Russian civilian kills in the last 30 years of:

80,000 - 230,000


If we count genocides perpetrated by Turkish nationalists in the Ottoman Empire and continued by newly founded Turkey we have:

  • 600,000 - 1.5 million Armenian civilians killed
  • 300,000 - 900,000 Greek civilians killed

As to genocides perpetrated solely by the state of Turkey:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersim_massacre

Turkish Kurdish anthropologist Dilşa Deniz estimates the number of deaths to be between 46.000 to 63.000.[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] Historian Hans-Lukas Kieser writes that 40,000 is implausibly high.[73] Historian Annika Törne estimates 32,000 to 70,000 dead as a result of massacres

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilan_massacre

Deaths: 5,000 - 15,000

Several hundred more Kurdish civilians have been killed in the past few decades by Turkey.

But you’re right that in the past few decades Turkey hasn’t killed as many Kurdish civilians as Israel has Palestinian civilians. Turkey is “just” commiting cultural genocide right now.

Considering Hamas hid behind them (and Palestinian civilians), I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion.

I mean Russia is actively partnered with Iran for Ukraine and have sold Hezbollah weapons for a loong time. Not like they suddenly grew a conscience

Russia is saying it because they have a political alliance with Iran and Syria. Last week, Israel bombed a Russian military base in Syria that had received arms headed for Iran.

The Kremlin couldn’t care less, they’re doing this because the Iranian government is their geopolitical ally.
