That's a bit like saying the Russians treated Crimeans fairly because as long as they accepted Russian citizenship, they could have rights. I sympathise with Palestinians who don't want to be Israeli. Still, you make some fair points. Confused about your take on @amnesty though. About Ukraine they said

"UKRAINE 2022

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February was a violation of the UN Charter and an act of aggression, a crime under international law. Russian forces conducted indiscriminate attacks resulting in thousands of civilian casualties, amid mounting evidence of other crimes including torture, sexual violence and unlawful killings."

Which part of this seems inaccurate to you?

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@leeharris Oh this is so funny! @SuellaBraverman and integrity in the same sentance!!!! ROTFLMAO

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@gencraft_ai So bored of these unrealistic images of women who look almost identical to each other.

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@Billthegreat6 @GlasnostGone @visegrad24 Maybe take a look at the 2022 Amnesty report that states that, taken together, Israeli practices, including land expropriation, unlawful killings, forced displacement, restrictions on movement, and denial of citizenship rights amount to the crime of apartheid.

Unfortunately the same applies to our current Iran-alligned Iraqi government. Iran is responsible for a lot of evil. Now I am watching this English woman criticising the war in Iraq on Amazon Prime, claiming to be on the side of humanity. Why did all these people who were marching in protest of the Iraq war or, as I saw it, marching for the continued genocide of a dictator against his own people, not look around and fucking notice that NO IRAQIS WERE MARCHING WITH THEM??? Plenty of us in London. Nonetheless the problem with a democracy can be the choices people make. I hope that we make a better choice next time than this crappy basically IRANIAN government we have at the moment. By the way Iraq is not = Iran. We speak different languages and stuff.

I am so done with Russians meddling in our business. STOP USING the struggles and pain of Arabs like me for your filthy Russian propaganda. Ukrainian defenders ARE fucking heroes, as are those meeting adversity with bravery, positivity, not giving up their spirit and hope for a better future for their children on both Israeli and on Palestinian land. Hamas got bought by Russia, sent on nice first class flights to and from Moscow, THEY targeted civilians knowing full well the repercussions. Both Russia and Hamas are terrorist best friends that deserve each other. STOP claiming you speak for the Arab world we want nothing to do with you

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@bdhoffman_ @mxttjcxsey @forestcui07 @OliLondonTV And the fact that me standing up as an arab saying condemning Hamas gets just 11 views - says it all!

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

Having participated and spoken out myself in rallies I condemned the October 7th attacks myself and saw others including Palestinians from Gaza do the same. Just because it got no coverage does not mean it did not happen. Whereas I have not seen one Palestinian in any of these rallies speak out in public in support of Hamas (though I can accept that some might have, there are deluded people on both sides). I hate Hamas and so do all my Palestinian friends who are upset with Hamas for the October 7th attacks that had the highly predictable effect of devastating Gaza, following I should add, all of Hamas's cozy meetings with Putin. They are working for Russia not for Arabs.

@mxttjcxsey @forestcui07 @OliLondonTV In fact it is the opposite. Pro Hamas means simply pro Russian nothing else. I am proudly anti Hamas.

What a dreadful performance from the CEO of the @PostOffice at the inquiry. How do such people get these jobs?

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@DavidGr40434506 @Jay_Beecher They are certainly not. I don't think we should accept such self identifications from anyone - we should describe them as "Houthis, who claim to be Muslim" and be very clear in not describing them as Muslim.

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@Jlsu171 @Jay_Beecher When I watch Parliament I do wonder how some of them ever got elected!

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@Jay_Beecher Agreed. Frankly I don't think the Houthis nor Hamas can call themselves Muslim. Nor the Rochdale sex abusers. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have in common: all these religions have important teachings around loving your neighbour, not killing, stealing and so on. Shame.

@EnjoyFascism No reason for putting Ukraine on this list. Russia and Iran would be more appropriate as would Putin and Hamas (who are best friends in case you didn't know). As an Arab I say this with conviction - Russia is NOT our friend.

[Rend Platings @Rendplato]

@EnjoyFascism Yourself. Actually scratch that. I very much suspect that YOU are unfuckable!
