The February 2022 events were triggered because ... A very warped, and highly misleading description of events is all that time permits me to say. Just stop pretending you haven't picked a side, please.

I draw the meaning and context from both the state of current discussion in Israel, and its evolution (especially in regard to what to do with the Palestinian population) since even before 1948. Look more into what public figures there have

From their postings they don't sound like a troll account, and is definitely irresponsible of you to assert that "ALL of their comments" are about Russia when it only takes about 60 seconds to determine otherwise. If they ta

You know, just because someone, like Putin, appears to be opposed to something you are opposed to (like the MIC) doesn't mean the he is somehow a counterweight to "evil", and that you should give credence to what he's sa

What I object to is the deployment of religious tropes that essentialize Netanyahu-ism or Kahanism into Israel, or, worse still, Judaism as a whole. Which absolutely no one is doing here. With the statement above the discussion has been f

To engage with what you said: I don't think you grasp the extent to which "extremist" thinking on the question of what to do with the Palestinians (backed by violent action) has now become quite normalized in Israel. For exa

The analysis is flawed, in that it intentionally omits the fact that among the extremists (who have come to dominate the decision-making process about what happens on the ground in Gaza), the "broader" references to Amalek have be

In what way? In that it's plainly clear that the Amalek quote does mean what the parent commenter (and anyone else who understands the region) can easily see that it does. But you keep coming up with weird evasive arguments to claim

I don't know what you're trying to argue here. That you are attempting to wiggle away from the plainly obvious nature of the quote, for some reason. Nobody denies that an enormous number of civilians have been killed in the IDF

He was referring specifically to Hamas. That's the spin that the PM's office came up in an attempt to cover its tracks after the massive stink cloud that was raised once the quote became known outside Israel. But for naught. Be

It's supremely naive to think that Russia wants to fully subjugate Ukraine You're splitting hairs, and basically putting up a strawman defense here. Whether Russia intended to subjugate about 70 percent of Ukraine's territo

IJC clearly stated there is no genocide. Paragraphs 54 and 58 of the ruling clearly refute what you're saying. It sounds like you're naively repeating a description of the ruling that you've heard from somewhere, without st

This kind of thinking is plainly delusional, and likely harmful to Israel in the long run.

Exactly. The NATO (and denazification) "arguments" are just bits of rhetorical flim-flam to soften and confuse the opposition, basically.

To punish / attack a nation (Russia) that isn't submitting to their globalist agenda .. To escape from the clutches of the U.S. empire strangling them That's a pretty naive, cartoon-like narrative of events, you know.

Russia simply has way more men, and can eventually attrite Ukraine into a demographic death spiral. Not so, because to fully subjugate another country (that is strongly determined to defend itself) a mere 3x population differential, as Ru

Timothy Snyder is the worst source, he is academic on payroll of government and 100% biased. On top of having zero credentials yourself, you're also making some pretty weird, muddled arguments here: "Snyder is on the government

Calling russian people Orcs is the worst dehumanising things to do IMO. No, the "worst dehumanizing thing to do" is to gratuitously start a war that has probably killed or maimed 500,000 people so far and shows no signs of stopp

Didn't the US push Ukraine into not accepting terms with Russia, under the promise that it would support Ukraine in case of war? The answer is "no" on both counts. The US did not "push" them into anything. And th

Only if you think that the goal of the invasion of Ukraine was to annex the entire country or bring it under permanent Russian control. The entire country, no. By all indications, they only wanted to annex about 60 percent of it -- includ

That Russia would immediately jump to one of the most expensive options requiring a commitment for decades to succeed, that needs some pretty good evidence in my opinion. That they have done so already in Ukraine is all the evidence we ne
