    Russia had invaded a sovereign country unprovoked, whereas Israel was responding to an attack.

    Russia is an invader, Israel is a settler colonial power there is no major difference . 7 of october is an unjustifiable terrorist attack but it was not unprovoked. Settlers in the west bank never stopped attacking palestinians civilians. Israel never stopped stealing more land

      Israel does not damage opposition and gay people at least. But we need both country’s to have a different leadership in them.

        Pinkwashing is a propaganda tactic used by Israel to garner support for their colonial takeover and genocide of the Palestinians. It’s a lot like when native Americans were called savages. The aim of Zionism is to wipe them off the face of the earth while simultaneously spreading propaganda that justifies the genocide by controlling the narrative. https://bdsmovement.net/pinkwashing

        I’m sure there is ton of secretly gay Palestinians that was brutality murdered by Israel. You need to stop justifying settler colonialism and use LGBT as political pawns. Even heavily homophobic population deserve to not get killed by a colonial power and live in dignity.

        European settlers used to same rhetoric as yours to commit genocide against the indigenous populations like some first nations has some case of cannibalism and enslaving others

        Israel is an Apartheid state (convicted) that is on trial for Genocide and whose political leadership is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

        You can’t pinkwash that.

      That’s the wrong way to look at it. Israel is a project of the West. Merz explained it: Israel is doing our dirty job.
