    History started on October 7th

    Israel firing sniper rounds and launching drone strikes into Gaza City isn't terrorism, it's Smart Data Driven Policing

      Israel and Palestine's history started on October 7th.

      Russian and Ukrainian history started on February 24th, 2022, obviously.

      The US military’s own civilian death count estimates (leaked by Wikileaks) show 100,000 civilians killed by direct violence by the US as of 2009 - although the peer reviewed study by The Lancet puts the figure at 600,000 to 800,000 direct violent deaths of civilians and at least 2 million and the lower studies still say at least 400,000.

      The US killed more civilians in a month than have died in Ukraine in total, and the Ukrainian total also vaguely pretends those deaths were all at the hands of Russia but Ukraine has been shelling Donetsk and DPR cities the whole time, not to mention most of the time you saw a smoking apartment building on the news it was because Ukrainian AA missiles misfired.

        At the start of the war Ukraine was holding civilians hostage as shields and refusing to allow them to evacuate

      Never. When you push a lib hard enough they always find a way to defend imperialism, even the imperialism they're supposed to "disagree" with because enough time has passed for it to be acceptable.
