    I live in Ukraine and we have our own massive problems to deal with (that take up an enormous amount of mental energy), but it pains me to see the mass killings in Gaza.

    I am increasingly finding it difficult to see how the Israeli colonial regime is any better than the russians (putin is a mere symptom of the broad support for genocidal imperialism in russian society).

    P.S. I will add it’s annoying (in a base, reflexive sense) to see this from MiddleEastEye, they are huge supporters of russian imperialism.

      They aren’t any different in what they are doing, they are different in size and scale.

        Middle East Eye is based in London and even the pro Israeli MBFC rates it as highly credible and mostly factual. What the heck are you on about?

        The accusations against MEE come from Saudi Arabia and the UAE who don’t like people talking about their atrocities in English languaged media, especially as they try to influence the Muslim communities in Western countries like the UK with funding for Salafism and the like.

            Do these statements seem coherent to you? They are both your statements.

            Yeah this source is almost certainly a middle eastern state’s propaganda channel likely Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

            The fact is we have no idea who owns Middle East Eye and that is critical in determining what bias they do have.

            Also that you think that it is likely Saudi Arabia or Qatar shows that you neither now much about the politics in the region, nor do you know much about the topics covered by MEE.

            It is like claiming some channel would be either propaganda from Taiwan or China, or either Russia or Ukraine…

        The contrast between their coverage of Gaza and their embrace of russian imperialism (with the typical "I oppose the invasion but … NATO, Nazis, bla bla) makes it difficult for me to take them seriously.

    It takes a special kind of monsters to target and kill a child. I wish every IOF soldier the cruelest end.

    This too shall pass and when it does, I fully expect those responsible to be arrested, tried, and locked up forever. That includes the monster netanyahu.l, but also the soldiers in the ground pulling those triggers
