Crocodile tears indeed. It's interesting that you seem to care so much about the genocide in Gaza, but can't quite bring yourself to express the slightest concern about the illegal and vicious Russian invasion of Ukraine. Are innocent Palestinians worth caring about, but not innocent Ukrainians? According to your post history, you are in fact generally supportive of Putin's actions in Ukraine. If you only oppose genocidal acts in which the US supplies weapons, but handwave away a literal direct invasion by Russia, then you're just engaged in partisan propaganda. I don't think you can be taken seriously as someone who is anti-genocide if you think that it all depends on who is committing the genocide, and/or who is the target.

Mhh some good ole whataboutism and lying.

Where's the lie? I agree there is some whataboutism, but in this case the hypocrisy of your position is so striking that it needs to be pointed out.

The comment you linked said they support the Netanyahu and thus Genocide in Gaza I'm not sure what you're even talking about.

The comment I linked to lists a bunch of your problematic comments about Putin and Ukraine, so I didn't have to repeat them here. But if you insist, here they are again:

Israel has already killed more civilians in 45 days than Putin during his entirely Ukraine war.
The west is commiting actual genocide right now. Don’t mis use the word for Putin.
Ukraine is doing plenty of terrorism against their occupier. Your double standards are showing.
Reminder that israel had already killed more civilians than Putin did since the start of the Ukraine war. Biden is literally worse than Putin.
You fuck off genocide apologist. When it came to Ukraine you were all calling for the Russians to assasinate Putin.
Now that it’s about non white people you’re literally saying you’re gonna vote for the genocide guy. Fucking racist hypocrites.
The war crimes Russia committed in Bucha pale in comparison to the complete genocide israel is committing right now.
America is already talking about dropping support for Ukraine.
Ukraine was just a proxy to exhaust Russian resources with.
Now that the entire country is in ruin America is going to pull support and leave them for dead like they’ve done with all their other proxies.
Even the Russians had far greater precision than this when attacking Ukraine.
You’re in for a treat when you start reading about the Azov brigade. They’ve got literal Nazi’s.
It’s so sad that all you have is whataboutism isn’t it? And the worst part is that Genocide Joe isn’t even the lesser of evils anymore. He is now the worse evil.
Genocide Joe is the person able to stop this. Instead he removes all war crime restrictions on the weapons and protects israel with all his power. He is actively committing mass genocide.
A reminder that Genocide Joe has killed more than twice as many civilians than Putin in Ukraine already.
Not to mention the amount of children murdered by this barbaric Zio Nazi
Not to forget Ukraine is slowly getting ditched too so the “world powers” are losing that one as well.
Israel is like 10000% more genocidal than Russia.
But anyone not supporting Ukraine with weapons against Russia obviously has to go because that’s very “unfreedom” of them.
The Kurds welcome Ukraine in joining the long list of groups abandoned and left in ruins by the US after being promised support to fight their enemy as long as needed.
Biden needs to focus on committing Genocide now. He has no time for Ukrainians beating an invasion. Surely Zeloonsky understands, he unconditionally supports israel’s genocide himself.

Nobody is denying Israel's genocide, or the war criminal Netanyahu's culpability. What I am questioning is why you are only concerned about the genocide in Gaza, but when it comes to Russian war crimes, you are happy to make excuses for them. That's what I find disingenuous. All the excuses you make for Putin are the exact same sort of excuses people use to support Israel's genocidal actions. It's a double standard, and it demonstrates that your concern trolling on this topic is motivated more by anti-Western political propaganda than it is about genuine concern over war crimes.

wow you are denying civilian casualties in Gaza i see.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Where did I do that? The civilian casualties are horrific in both cases.

[–] Linkerbaan 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where's more civilian casualties

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you implying it's ok to make excuses for war criminals if the civilian casualties caused by one war crime are lower than during another war crime? Because it sounds like that's what you're suggesting. I mean, sure, I agree with you that Israel's war crimes have been *even worse *than Russia's. But I'm not the person defending one of these genocidal wars because the other one has more civilian casualties. What I am saying, supported by facts and evidence, is that that you seem to be ok with defending one of these war crimes while condemning the other. Someone who isn't politically partisan would be opposed to both.

Total deaths: Palestinians killed in Gaza: at least 40,005 [...]

Civilians killed in Gaza: Gaza’s health ministry doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but says at least 5,956 women and at least 10,627 children have been killed. - Source

I suggest you read the context of the posts you're quoting. Am I talking to an LLM?
