      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.

    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.

        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.

        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

    “You’ve been repeating several times that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine,” Nunziati, who is a contractor with Nova, said at a press conference. “Do you believe that Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza since they have destroyed almost all its civilian infrastructure?”

    Well, how dare she ask such inflammatory questions in front of her betters. Journalists should know their place and only ask the pre-approved questions handed to them.

      One thing that is entirely facepalm-worthy is this “explanation” the Nova agency gave:

      Francesco Civita, a spokesperson for Nova, confirmed that the news agency had ended its relationship with Nunziati over his Gaza question. Civita said that Nunziati had been let go for asking a question that was “technically incorrect” because Russia had invaded a sovereign country unprovoked, whereas Israel was responding to an attack.

      So, Pinho could have just made that case, right? There was nothing pushy or loaded about the question. If anything, if one truly believes that the two cases are so different, then they should actually want to be asked this question, as a chance to educate the public about the difference.
