Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

          Russia’s goal is absolutely the total elimination of all Ukrainians – they want Ukraine to cease to exist, consumed by them. They thus eliminate all Ukrainians by instead forcing them to be Russian citizens.

          And honestly? I don’t think that’s Israel’s goal, because they don’t seem to have a goal. It’s just senseless and directionless violence and. To me it looks more like them lashing out because they can. Just like Russia with Ukraine, they want Palestine to cease to exist and all Palestinians to either become Israeli or be exiled. The settler program makes that much obvious.

          It’s not a super big distinction though, frankly. Sure Israel isn’t methodically killing every Palestinian, but they sure as hell don’t care about how many Palestinians die. Again, just like Russia with Ukrainians. The goal isn’t an organized campaign of ethnic cleansing, but more the total consumption of the land, no matter how many Palestinians or Ukrainians die.

      You had two options: read one damn sentence or insist on being a tool.

      Of course you chose the latter.

          The first bloody page. The article you were asked to read.

          But what could I expect from someone who thinks genocide is a competition that one could lose if someone else did it better…
