Assad enacted the Hannibal Directive on Syrian society and it inspired nothing but admiration and support from you. What a great humanitarian, what a great moralist you are.
By carrying out mass murder in Gaza, Israel and its apologists have shown us their contempt for human life.
That extends to Israelis. Israel enacted the Hannibal Directive to murder Israelis rather than allow them to be taken captive on Oct 7. And it has bombed Israeli captives in Gaza since.
To build support for mass murder in Gaza, Israel apologists also exploit Israeli victims and torment their families.
They spread graphic, lurid claims about Israeli victims without evidence, as the case of the Bibas family shows.
They did the same with the Hamas mass rape hoax: exploiting the deaths of Israeli women to paint them as rape victims without evidence. This was so egregious that the family of one slain Israeli woman, Gal Abdush, spoke out against the exploitation of her death.
That’s what Israel and its apologists do: from the Nazi Holocaust to Oct. 7th, exploit death and suffering to inflict more of it against Palestinians — and Israelis if need be.
@Ania_In_UA@CaolanRob Online dweebs and figures like Mick Wallace and Clare Daly are not at all representative of Irish people's feeling on Ukraine. If you go to Ireland you will see Ukrainian flags everywhere, in people's windows, cars, flown from buildings.
@AnalyticaCamil1 ... The United States, which really is a civilizational Nation, just allows itself to be derided at home and aboard as an Empire with a dysfunctional society.
@AnalyticaCamil1 One thing the US could learn from Russia is to start talking of itself in civilizational terms. I don't think Russia is a much of a civilizational Nation, but they tell themselves and others they are enough that many of their sins and inadequacies are written off...
