Just look at that photo.
Disgusting isn’t it. Revolting!
The attacks on civilians continue, with a total desregard of human life. Men,women , childen killed. Whole neighboroods reduced to rubble.
What kind of a monster would wage war on people just trying to get on with their lives.
Fathers, mothers, grandmothers, children, babies..
Where is humanity?
We know who did this..a smug contemptable, dispicable villain. Another Hitler. Another Stalin.
This time the world must stand up to the new Hitler .
He is a War Criminal!
He must be put on trial by the ICC. His regime must be so destroyed that it can never ever repeat such horrors.
We must..
Umm..excuse me, what did you say..wrong photo? Not Ukraine?
Oh hell!!.
Sorry, my mistake.
Oh dear!
This is actually a photo from Gaza during the 2014 bombing.
But anyway, this is different. Very different.
Don’t forget! Ukrainians are Europeans. They are civilized. They look like us!
As for the people of Gaza, they are all terrorists anyway.
All of them: grandmother terrorists, little brother terrorists, baby sister terrrrists.
They got what they deserved.
As Noam Chomsky has pointed out: “It they do it to us, it’s a war crime. If we do it to them, it isn’t.”
Our side, the good guys: the US, Israelis, Saudis, sometimes just have to take a stong stand: on behalf of a rules-based international order, for democracy.

You have a point Lois and I am sure other people will get it. But it’ easy to pick on our traditional enemy, Russia. I was amazed at findiing out the work that Mikhail Gorbachev put in for stepping down the nuclear arms race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c18V6Y3HL38
Israel locked up a nuclear technician who leaked the secret that they had a nuclear bomb. To get him into their jurisdiction and prison they set up a honey trap with some woman under their control, captured him in Rome and gave him a trial and locked him up for years. And when it was time to let him out, they locked him up again. This is how I remember it. So they need to get the scrutiny that Russia does.

In my lifetime I have heard aweful things about most countries. Have we become blase’? Then we glory in watching them in fictional or factional form in the films and on tv and all these purveyors of dreams and nightmares to our screens, to our minds. Is our belief in our goodness just a load of puff pastry?
Actually one has to wonder when and where any of the latest war propaganda is recorded, perhaps ask Ridley Scott (or Peter Jackson for that matter) anyway I’m commenting here because nobody comments about Palestine much here as someone called Gaby replies with an extra helping of vitriol and smarm.
The other thing which occurred to me is that AI algorithms don’t get sarcasm and because they are now so much a part of our lives something like your Chomsky quote will be taken literally by non-human beings. I don’t know how sarcasm pans out in other languages either, or in other cultures either.
There is an universal language but that has been co-opted by the architects of the singularity, man/machine interface (Ray Kurzweil et al) so now people begin to think like machines.
Namaste.
Its sad that the media of the West are so paid up that they unashamedly paint reality differently to what actually occurs. Isreal and Ukraine run a war of terror against Palestinians or Donbass Russians, we hear only about “terrorists”. Thousands of dead Palestinians and Russians, terrorists to a man, woman or child.
Now Russia has decided to put a stop to Ukrainian state terrorism all we hear is Russian “atrocities”. I have a distinct suspicion that each and every one is committed by Ukrainians. Just as they are by Isrealis. Of course it is done for a reason. It is because the idiot general public believe what they are shown. Sad.

The Israel bashers have to separate cause from effect to peddle their hate of Israel. The moment their rubbish is contextualised their case falls apart. Griffiths is superb at historical dislocation.
These are the lovely people Griffiths and other ‘human rights’ advocates defend and support. Watch them condemn themselves out of their own mouths.
