#Russian support for Israel

Moral Equivalence

I found this “hilarious” cartoon attached to an essay entitled “No Moral Equivalence in the Middle East,” but it serves just as well as illustration of the sadly typical “liberal Russian” ruminations, below. ||| TRR Hello, dear readers! This is the Moscow Times weekly newsletter at your disposal. Let’s hope that our friends, acquaintances, relatives, and just plain Israelis survive the barbaric…

it is so disheartening seeing people being able to correctly identify and criticise the actions of russian invasion of ukraine and not be able to recognise/not giving the same scrutiny to the israeli genocide.

#like. Come on #and i really cant attribute it to anything but racism and islamaphobia #because why are you so selective in your 'activism' #a chance to show real solidarity and yet you are unable to? #israel/palestine IS NOT COMPLICATED #and quite franky if you beleive hamas is 'the reason' for israel's WAR CRIMES #then u must also believe that the azov batallion is justification for russian war crimes #if u support ukraine but not palestine #shame on you. Ur a massive fuckinh hypocrite

[heldentenxr]

i wish people just stopped bringing Ukraine up whenever they talk about Palestine bc it’s always “the world supports Ukrainians because they’re white” and never “both these nations suffer from their oppressors and we’re in solidarity with both”

#like #i get it you’re tired and angry #but so are we #there was enough misinformation and outright hatespeech about Ukraine before you came #if you do that you’re parasiting on my people’s tragedy #and that makes you a bad person no matter your nationality #russian war in ukraine #ukraine #palestine #also i WISH all of you boycotted companies/celebrities that support russia as ardently as you do with israel

Is it irony that the people who keep screaming at Ukranian to not be "Russiaphobic" because "not all Russians" have demonized everyone even vaguely related to Israel, let alone just Jewish people existing in the last few months?

I'm well aware there are people still on the left who are actual functioning human beings who have capacity to be self critical and self reflect. But I feel like they are increasingly the baffled minority wondering wtf happened that people in the world of political inclinations meant to be a more humane and kinder approach to humanity have become so blood thirsty and ghoulish.

#anyone who uses numbers to suggest palestine deserves more attention based on numbers aloke #i guarantee wouldnt give to fucks with Ukraine was seeing worse losses of civilians hecause thats never what any of their thing qas about #its the same way they decided every ukrabian deserved death because a small group if far right exists but have bever held palestine Hamas #to even remotely the aame fuckibg standard #and no i don't support what israel is doing in Gaza i just hate the hypocryticial valuless pit of egotistical petulence that the western #left has become #russian invasion of ukraine #war in ukraine #stand with ukraine #n

Nevzorov:

Well, the Third World War seems to be cancelled for today. Maybe tomorrow. But, it’s too early to relax.

Iran said it had sent an additional batch of drones to Israel. Several dozen more UAVs are on their way to Israel and are currently being shot down.

Israel promises Iran an adequate response.

Saudi Arabia has expressed concern.

Biden asked Israel not to respond to Iran.

Let's summarize.

In total, approximately 200 missiles were shot down. There is minor damage to the airbase. One Bedouin girl was wounded, and three other women were injured. No one was killed. Dome and Partners handled the attack superbly.

That is, they can. Whenever they want.

This example perfectly demonstrated the potential of the warring parties. Obviously, if they wanted, it would not be difficult for NATO countries to defeat russia and provide Ukraine with a quick victory.

But, apparently, there is no clear desire to resolve the issue and save thousands of lives.

it's interesting how the vast majority of the people on this website just don't actually know anything about like the broader internet politics sphere. Like... you see liberal bloggers reblogging articles from The Grayzone about the Israeli genocide in Palestine and then two posts later reblogging something from like. prismatic-bell about how you should vote for 99% hitler or whatever.

#it's genuinely surreal #that or I'm just some weird terminally online guy for thinking you should probably actually know who the people you're getting claims from #like. are #hawk.txt #honestly the way israel's genocide of palestinians has impacted the western left is... quite something in general #as you see the split between the more consciously imperialist sects and the ...well #both the normie healthcare-liker and the more radical anarchists and marxists and such #in this policy - “brandon” and his more institutional supporters going full-throated openly pro-genocide #while normal young progressives + the aforementioned radicals are varying degrees of pro-Palestine #but the “progressives” have at least on large parts of like the twitblr sphere not actually realized this intractable difference #leading to the incredible experience of like - posts about how if you don't vote for biden you're a russian bot #underneath a Catilyn Johnson article

If you support the deaths of *any* civillians, no matter who they are or who you are, you're a horrible person. That's the end all and be all. The amount of celebrating the deaths of innocnents I've seen since the Ukraine war started has been disgusting itself, but its reached new levels now that the occupation of Gaza is happening.

Stop supporting the fucking deaths of innocent people you fucking scumbags.

#war in ukraine #israel palestine conflict #gaza strip #palestine #israel #ukraine #russia #everytime i see someone cheer on the deaths of ukrainians or russians or palestinians or israelis #a blood vessel gets closer to popping #its actually disgusting that people are allowed to get away with that shit #i dont say this often but if you're ok or supportive of innocents dying because they live under a certain government #you should fucking kill yourself and make some room for the good people of the world

Russia is an ally of the horrific régimes in Syria and Iran. Putin probably smiles when he sees reports of ISIS-style atrocities committed by Hamas.

As Iran-backed terrorists rampaged through Israeli cities, some – including many in Ukraine – pointed fingers at Russia, a country with established ties with Hamas and a clear beneficiary of a war set to diverge attention from its own atrocities in Ukraine. "Russia is interested in igniting a war in the Middle East so that a new source of pain and suffering will weaken world unity," said Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Oct. 9. Ukraine's intelligence even reported that Russia gave Hamas captured Ukrainian weapons in an effort to discredit Kyiv, while Polish President Andrzej Duda said, "This (war) certainly helps Russia and Russian aggression against Ukraine, it distracts the world's attention."

There's much for Putin to love about Hamas. It reminds him a lot of Russia.

Hamas, and to a lesser extent, the Palestinian Authority, have been criticized for severe corruption and disregard for democratic processes while in power, canceling and postponing elections for more than a decade. Hamas has also been accused of gruesome human rights violations, including killings and systematic torture of its opposition, violence against women, and repression of civil society in Gaza.

So the Nazi-style rampage by Hamas across their border with Israel has attracted admiration from Russians committing genocide in Ukraine.

As Hamas terrorists rampaged through Israeli cities, murdering hundreds of soldiers and civilians, Russian propagandists rejoiced in triumph. "Not a drop of pity or sympathy (for the Israelis)," Dmitry Steshin, Russian military correspondent known for his support of ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians, wrote on his Telegram channel. "This mess is beneficial for Russia…Iran is our real military ally," said Russia's prominent propagandist Sergey Mardan.

Hamas's leader was welcomed to Moscow earlier this year. Terrorists chillin' with terrorists.

The latest meeting between Hamas representatives and Russian officials took place in March 2023, when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov welcomed Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas, in Moscow.

Russia, acting like a neo-colonialist on steroids in Ukraine, may hypocritically try to play the anti-colonialist card.

Russia is also seizing the moment to advance its anti-American propaganda, playing the fictitious role of an anti-colonial champion. "(Russians) present this disorder as a 'win' for Russia not just because it supposedly weakens the West but also because it is proof their worldview is correct," Jade McGlynn, a research fellow at the Department of War Studies at King's College London, told the Kyiv Independent. [ ... ] "Russia presents itself as a friend of the colonized against the imperial West and the U.S.," McGlynn added. "Of course, empirically speaking, this is absurd: Russia is conducting a nakedly imperial war in Ukraine," she added.

Russia may not have directly assisted Hamas in its weekend mass murder spree, but it has been on cozy terms with Iran which is the chief backer of Hamas. The misogynist régime in Iran supplies Russia with Shahed drones which are then used on Ukrainian civilians.

And gaza’s disproportionate genocide was tweeted by israel’s president without shame. After all the support I gave ukraine, I never once believed russia because you asked me to think better. All those posts supporting persecuted muslims mean nothing? I don’t know what to think of this account anymore.

Bruh. Sorry for betraying you like that. I guess I'll have to support the mass murder of civilians now

Oh, btw, and if you support Ukraine just because someone told you then that is just stupid. I don't want you to not believe Russia just cause I told you. I want you to have basic abilities to identify propaganda and doubt known liars. There's like a multitude of things wrong with russia and a multitude of things wrong with Israel and none of them means we should attack their civilian population just for the sake of it (I'll be flexible as fuck and say that civilian casualties as collateral damage can be understood)

#asks #since when supporting palestinian and prosecuted muslims means supporting terrorists? Hello? #idk maybe I forgot something but when was I supporting killing russians indiscriminatively? #I'll walk on a very thin ice here and say that even terrorist tactics can be deployed with minimal harm to civilians #at the very last hamas actions are tactically stupid. What have they achieved except giving israel an excuse to bomb gaza? #it's a complex situation and literally every side has messed up in last few days including egypt #closing the corridor/limiting it #but then why are you scared of condemning hamas? ukrainians be running around like crazy trying to create a positive image #and still get labeled as nazis left and right BE SERIOUS #idk bro #I be arguing with ukrainians who support israel and here am arguing with you for the sake of what? Get a grip

I feel like, since the Ukraine-Russia war began, every single sporting tournament has essentially penalized Russian n Belarusian athletes for being Russian n Belarusian by taking their flags away from their profiles (this is very noticeable on TV, whenever they display the names of, let's say the 2 tennis players about to play. They do not show the Russian or Belarusian flags for their athletes). Which I feel is unfair, because what do these athletes have to do with the war? They are participating in a sporting tournament, they are not in the front lines. And yeah ok, if it comes to light that these athletes have some involvement, like donating for stuff or their cousin is on the line, etc, sure yeah then we can talk about that influencing their penalization. But until then? Why are they being marked as country less? And furthermore, why are the main sport entities (like the ITF or FIFA, etc) not then penalizing Israeli athletes? They are the main (and frankly, only) participants in the Israel-Palestine war (which is not even a war, because this attack on the Palestinian people is absolutely malicious and is absolutely genocidal), so if Russian and Belarusian athletes will have their flags taken away, then so should the Israeli athletes. They should be given the same weight and severity that is being given to the Russian and Belarusian athletes

#post #sports #israel #russia #ukraine #palestine #it's so fucked to me. bcus?? like?? #these russians n belarusians have no country essentially. bcus of the war #therefore shouldn't the israeli athletes also have no country??? #like there should be a lot of consideration of the optics here #from a complete business viewpoint. this is not a good look for the business #the business here being every sporting event. this means that you support ukraine but don't care about palestine #that's fucked up

.. ?

#okay........................................ #not everything is about the us #like lrb says #if democrats lose then it will not be the fault of 'idealistic voters' or 'russian propaganda' they fucked it up well and good themselves #i mean maybe dont keep arming israel and supporting genocide. #i think people who are actually affected by absymal US foreign policy and of course literal genocide #are more than entitled to calling biden genocide joe #and being disillusioned with democrat leadership #.?

[myname-isnia]

So… my childhood best friend, the boy I grew up with, the guy I unironically called my brother on multiple occasions, is currently in Palestine fighting for the IDF

I just.. have no words

#his mom is also going through like 50 levels of cognitive dissonance #like.. the woman packed up her entire life and left russia #with her mom and sons and ex husband and dog and everyone #claiming that she cannot in good conscience support the ukranian genocide by existing as a russian person #and moved… to israel #on account of her maternal grandad being jewish or smth? #and is now on facebook every day posting the most vile shit about palestinians that you can imagine #claiming she’s defending her homeland or whatever. bruh what homeland your family’s been living in Moscow since forever #and… I don’t know if her son shares her views or what he thinks about this whole thing #we don’t really talk anymore #but I cannot call him a brother anymore. not after this #can’t even call him a friend #don’t really know what to think rn

#most russian libs support israel anyway this is an incredibly rare w

[girlcalledwhatsername]

I think this really just hits the nail on the head of this whole shit, honestly, like if you cannot draw the line at funding genocide then what are your morals? What incentive dobyour politicians have to do something good if they'll be elected anyway no matter what they do? How are the very real lives of millions of people outside of your imperial core just... Nothing... To you? How is it more important for us to understand a politician in murica has to avoid political suicide than it is for citizens to see - again of all thing of ALL things of ALL THINGS - to see genocide as the one thing you don't just let pass? Do you ever think beyond your myopic lens? Put pressure on the democrats to force them to put forward a better candidate if they want your vote instead of sending out the message that they have some sort of political immunity. Of course your vote is important so go ahead and hold it hostage because that's the only bargaining chip you have other than direct action. Idk it's so tone deaf and it's making me sick to have to see Americans talk about politics at home like it's all rhetorical and abstract and hand-wring about their leaders there is blood on those hands if not this then what? What would a person have to do to lose your unwavering support? Any person, any politician at all, what is the One Thing they would have to do for you to say "yeah I can no longer ideologically support this man or send out a message in any way that this was acceptable" what would that one thing be? Do you have that One Thing? Do you have principles? Does your mercy extend to the rest of us in this bitch of a planet? Good fucking God, it's sickening to see how blasé American citizens are about this subtle and constant dehumanising, where the rest of the world just becomes "global issues" for you to debate.

#do you owe no one else anything at all? #people of the global south begging for their genocide to be seen as enough reason to not go behind the man bankrolling it- #is not a fucking russian op #you privileged pieces of shit #ik I'm swinging at the hornet's nest here ik americans want us all to just keep quiet and never say a thing about their politics #who knows maybe i said something wrong there because I don't know enough about some intricacy of your politics #what i do know is i cannot think of one good reason to say 'we will still elect you' after what has happened #i just wish you didn't talk about something so serious in such a off handed manner #'oh if biden didn't support israel it would be bad for him politically' what in the everloving FUCK are your priorities?

A great deal; you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way; they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again. Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
