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.
It's not. The only reason Ukraine isn't like Gaza is that Ukraine has an army to protect it, and if Ukraine didn't have an army to protect it it'd be like Gaza. Russia and Israel are similar to a frankly kind of ridiculous degree.
It's not so much that they are like each other, they are both proponents of a new sort of unforgiving, relentless warfare. For decades, we have been trying to fight wars with Rules, but the old saying "All's fair in Love and War" has returned with a vengeance.
America has wasted trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, fighting wars by the Rules, with little to show for it, so it makes sense that new, more successful, methods of warfare would eventually emerge. When America's next war starts, expect that we will be committing the same sorts of atrocities.
But there are some important differences.
Israel is still a democracy. A flawed and increasingly failing democracy, but they are not (yet?) on the level of russia. Which for me makes their behaviour more puzzling.
They aren't any different in what they are doing, they are different in size and scale.
Huuh you know russia and israel are allies from the start, yes? Netanyahu and Putin always have been closed. The guns and bombs the west send to israel? Some of them ended up in russia. Don't be naive. You are a pawn in a chessgame and all the player want is to sell more guns.
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.
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.
