We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    After the libs making themselves hoarse and crazy by shouting "RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!..." like Rachel Maddow - I didn't think they could get worse. How wrong I was. The craziest thing I've seen is libs trying to compare Gaza/Hamas to Russia.

    An example is the following article. I tried to read it but the text is a crazy person half-heartedly trying to make a nonsense argument out of pure gibberish.

    There Are No Rules

    States and quasi-states are using extreme, uninhibited violence against civilian populations.

    By Anne Applebaum

    [...]

    Hamas is not a sovereign state, but it has the full backing of Iran, a sovereign state, and funding from Qatar, a sovereign state. Since 2006, Hamas has also been the de facto ruling party in Gaza, a self-governing territory since the Israeli withdrawal in 2005. Nevertheless Hamas does not see itself as part of any kind of order...

    And such takes are always ahistorical. There are no rules now? There have never been rules for the powerful. During World War II in a ~24 hour period - the US killed more people with conventional weapons than died by the nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    A US general said if Japan had won the war - they would have been charged with war crimes.

    Bombing of Tokyo (10 March 1945)

    On the night of 9/10 March 1945, the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) conducted a devastating firebombing raid on Tokyo, the Japanese capital city. This attack was code-named Operation Meetinghouse... Bombs dropped from 279 Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers burned out much of eastern Tokyo. More than 90,000 and possibly over 100,000 Japanese people were killed, mostly civilians, and one million were left homeless, making it the most destructive single air attack in human history.
