True support for Israel isn't blind loyalty. It demands holding a corrupt regime accountable so the nation survives. Most people aren't in the toxic extremes of denying Israel's right to exist or shielding its failed leadership. The rational majority demands absolute change.
@HowardA_AtLaw Van Hollen isn't even a progressive; he's an establishment Dem. Labeling his policy dissent as 'Chris Van Hamas' is a pathetic cop-out. Calling all foreign policy criticism antisemitic is just a lazy shield-play to protect failed leadership from real accountability.
@HowardA_AtLaw I lost family on 10/7. I understood the rage, but Netanyahu has crossed every line of decency. His disgusting political alliances demand criticism. You can love Israel while rejecting its failed leadershipโwanting Israel to succeed is just why we must demand its behavior changes.
@HowardA_AtLaw Calling Ossoff anti-Israel for criticizing Netanyahu is nonsense. Plenty of pro-Israel people reject his Gaza actions & enabling of West Bank extremism. You can support a country without backing its current leader - just like you can be a US patriot while criticizing Trump.
@mrSatias@ShaunGahan64072@HavryshkoMarta You mean they refused to capitulate to threats and ultimatums?
The root cause is Putinโs illegal invasion.
Russia was demanding the violation of Helsinki and CoP, that the west would negotiate away Ukraineโs sovereignty.
Russia 100% fabricated the pretext - vatnik.
@mrSatias@HavryshkoMarta Why so Putinโs propagandist shills like you can keep trying to control the narrative?
Are you a useful idiot abroad or working for Putin from Russia?
@mrSatias@ShaunGahan64072@HavryshkoMarta First of all, he has no right to demand that. Second of all, he is lying. Third of all, youโre a useless idiot or a shill.
He is demanding 2 entire regions, and neutrality and disarmament. His war mongering is exactly why they would like to join NATO.
@mrSatias@HavryshkoMarta Russia is doing quite poorly right now - maybe they need to accept terms?
How many Russians is Putin willing to sacrifice for this vanity project?
@metfuna@haaretzcom Isn't this exactly what Hamas did with it's murdered and kidnapped victims?
I'm not defending Israel but accusing them of "destroying all the shared values โโof humanity" is moronic 1: war and intentional cruelty are 'shared values' 2: Rwanda, Armenia, etc were far worse.
@mrSatias@HavryshkoMarta No, hostile warmongres should not be rewarded and appeased - they just come back for more - just as they did after the world let them steal Crimea.
