You didn't care when Russia took part of Ukraine in 2014. You didn't care about the fighting going on in Eastern Ukraine back then.
You didn't care when Obama called the Russia/Ukraine conflict a regional dispute over territory between immediate neighbors that wouldn't matter very much to us.
When MH17 was shot down and 298 innocent people were murdered, it was just something tragic that happened during a conflict on the other side of the world. You didn't accuse Obama of having blood on his hands for not be tougher with Putin.
In 2021, when Biden said it was too expensive to stay in Afghanistan, you agreed. You didn't cry for the millions of Afghan women and girls who would no longer be able to go to school, work, or show their faces in public. You didn't call for America to stand up for freedom and democracy. Biden even left an arsenal of weapons for a group that hates America and oppresses its own people and you were fine with that.
You didn't care when you saw people falling out of planes. When 13 Americans soldiers were blown up, you didn't cry. You didn't think it was even worth posting about. When Biden refused to say their names and when he checked his watch during the dignified transfer, that was no big deal. It was just a little disrespect. When the Biden admin droned an innocent family of 10, including an aid worker and 7 children, again, not something worth talking about.
But you are heartbroken right now. Emotionally crushed. Shattered. You are weeping for Zelensky and are devastated over the way he was treated. His feelings may have been hurt and that may have been the darkest moment in American history. Our country may never recover. And the fact that Trump won't promise him a blank check of your tax dollars to prolong a war that cannot be won...it's just the worst thing that's ever happened to you.
Palestinians: "We will commit more Oct. 7ths."
Palestinians: "Death to Jews, we will march to Jerusalem."
Palestinians: "We will not release the hostages."
The West: "Palestinians just want to live in peace."
Oh, so you mean she actually killed herself because she was being sexually exploited by a family member, who's likely also here illegally, but you just wanted to blame Americans.
Zelenskyy let his pain get in the way of the people’s peace.
Hundreds of thousands of people dead.
Hundreds of billions of dollars wasted.
The West needs to stop focusing on what sounds good and start doing what is good.
Stop making moral arguments and start making peace.
I’ve been studying and working in the area of language and translation since 2011.
I can categorically say that this is the single worst breach of professional ethics I have ever seen. A deliberate mistranslation to hide genocidal antisemitism. I am truly floored.
This is a stain on the BBC that will never be removed.
