Look at this. Complete destruction. This isn’t even an actual war. Its just extermination.
There is cities in Ukraine that look better despite two years of heavy fighting since Russias invasion.
Fun fact. Israel sold drones to Russia which it used to target Ukraine for their bombers and artillery. And they did that after the russian invasion of Chrimea. Also Israel denied to support sanctions against Russia.
Now Ukraine will probably be sacrificed to Russia so the US and EU can focus on helping Israel murder more Arabs.
Truly a friend to the West.
The only reason we didn’t arm Ukraine to the death immediately is because Russia has been the years since the Cold War extending its tentacles into the governments of the western world. We should have treated Ukraine like we are treating Israel now. They are actually defending themselves instead of using us to dominate their region.
“extending its tentacles” nice antisemitic dogwhistle you have there.
I got it from this, can you point to me where the antisemitic imagery is in this picture?
Or did you think of this?
Either way, I’m confused how I can be antisemitic when referring specifically about Russia, who is not semitic in anyway.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Bolshevism
Jewish Bolshevism, also Judeo–Bolshevism, is an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that claims that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was a Jewish plot and that Jews controlled the Soviet Union and international communist movements, often in furtherance of a plan to destroy Western civilization. It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust.
Works propagating the canard
The Octopus
The Octopus is a 256-page book self-published in 1940 by Elizabeth Dilling under the pseudonym “Rev. Frank Woodruff Johnson”. In it, she describes her theories of Jewish Bolshevism.
And the image of Propaganda you show there has the UDSSR, US, England and China in its arms. The whole tentacle image is heavily intertwined in antisemitic conspiracy bullshit.
Ah, a book I haven’t read. While I do not know the contents I can assure you, as well as my post history, that was not my intention. It is a pretty succinct image of what Russia is doing though by installing Russian loyalists in Western governments. Like thats happening, I should not have to refer you to take a look at the current GOP to figure that out.
Check out Mariupol.
I guess let’s keep genociding Gazans then?
There’s no genocide. The number of dead has barely increased over the last couple of months.
I have no words for people like you who are genocide deniers. And I saw that you’re German too, ironic too given the history of your country.
Lots of people are dieying in Gaza, yes. However it’s a war, not a genocide.
The number of deaths would be far higher if Israel intended a genocide.
Things can be bad without being a genocide.
Contrary to you I know more about genocides, also because of where I come from.
Not at all convincing
Systemically oppressing and killing members of a group for over 70 years is pretty much a textbook example of genocide.
No, look up the definition of genocide. That’s not sufficient.
If oppression and killing is enough, then you have a textbook case of genocide against African Americans in the USA.
Okay, so how would you define genocide in your own words?
That’s only because they haven’t been able to count the dead because they’ve lost the capability. Doctors coming back to the US from Gaza are positive that dead have increased to around 100,000, although ice also seen 200,000 but no one knows now, due to many deaths under rubble, or due to starvation or disease that aren’t able to make it to medical facilities. They don’t basically don’t have the capacity to count too much more.
If you actually read the source in Lancet, you would know that this is an estimate without any evidence.
The estimate is originally from months ago and hasn’t accumulated any evidence since.
The Hamas run health ministry not only counts bodies, but also other people they have some proof that they died. For example if people are known to be buried in rubble, they are already counted. Granted not all bodies under the rubble are counted.
However the predicted high numbers of dead caused by famine and disease have not materialized during the last half year.

Says who? Israel? I don’t think you understand exactly what’s happening over there. The devastation is everywhere. Millions are displaced. The health ministry is extremely overwhelmed. Not everyone buried in rubble, starved, or sick is being counted. Whole families are being obliterated with no one left to go over and report their missing or dead family members. There will be tons of missing people who will never be confirmed, because of all these factors. Not to mention, Israel is keeping the fog of war extremely high, not only with all the bombs but the targeted killings of doctors, aid workers, and reporters and journalists.
The estimates are in numerous places. There are the ones by the Lancet, but the letter by the 99 doctors and aid workers who were just in Gaza have their own that’s higher, too. The point is, it’s being corroborated by experts who are actually there, along with being based on past situations like this. I think the doctors actually dealing with this crisis who are on the situation on the ground have a better idea of what’s happening than you do.
U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts || Council on Foreign Relations || 31 Mai 2024
Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.
Most of the aid—approximately $3.3 billion a year—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services.
So this is also another way for congress to ferry money into arms companies in their districts.
Invading the region and calling it another US state would have been a better deal for the US that blowing money in useless wars they will never win.

Healthcare, please
It cost about 10 billion to end homelessness in America for a year. You could have had that, but instead America’s leaders want to kill Gaza’s children.
Throwing figures like that seems to be disinformation: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/aug/27/facebook-posts/no-consensus-cost-ending-homelessness-us-or-haltin/
Seems like USA spent $51 billion in 2021 to end homelessness: https://my.neighbor.org/what-is-the-cost-of-homelessness/ – I guess that’s nowhere near enough money thrown at the problem.
Just tell every church they have to accept 3 homeless, or lose their tax advantage and there would be no more homeless.

Spending the money on weapons in the first place, here or Israel, is the grift. Tax dollars should be spent on proper health care or free college
Not to mention green energy, what with all these hurricanes that will continue to be increasing in intensity and quantity.
Gross
It’s just our rent payment.
Does this include all the donations by religious groups in the US?
