Could you please show me any my word where I "pillorying the same"? I just publish points of view from different people. But now I will tell you: for 30 times longer period, on territory 1000 times bigger, there are 7 times less causalities within Ukrainian kids, than in Gaza. In Ukraine are less than 550 causalities within children for almost 2 years on territory more than 50000 sq.km. Israel already kill more than 3400 kids, less than in 3 weeks, on territory 50 sq.km.

Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years for The New York Times, where he served as the Middle East Bureau Chief: All settler colonial projects, including Israel, reach a point when they embrace wholesale slaughter and genocide to eradicate a native population that refuses to capitulate. On Friday the Gaza Strip had all its communications severed. No Internet. No phone service. No electricity. Israel’s goal is the murder of tens, probably hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of those who survive into refugee camps in Egypt. It is an attempt by Israel to erase not only a people, but the idea of Palestine. It is a carbon copy of the massive campaigns of racialized slaughter by other settler colonial projects who believed that indiscriminate and wholesale violence could make the aspirations of an oppressed people, whose land they stole, go away. And like other perpetrators of genocide, Israel intends to keep it hidden. Israel’s bombing campaign, one of the heaviest of the 21st century, has killed more than 7,300 Palestinians, nearly half of them children, along with 26 journalists, medical workers, teachers and United Nations staff. Some 1.4 million Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced and an estimated 600,000 are homeless. Mosques, 120 health facilities, ambulances, schools, apartment blocks, supermarkets, water and sewage treatment plants and power plants have been blasted into rubble. Hospitals and clinics, lacking fuel, medicine and electricity, have been bombed or are shutting down. Clean water is running out. Gaza, by the end of Israel’s scorched earth campaign, will be uninhabitable, a tactic the Nazis regularly employed when facing armed resistance, including in the Warsaw Ghetto and later Warsaw itself. By the time Israel is done, Gaza, or at least Gaza as we knew it, will not exist. Not only are the tactics the same, but so is the rhetoric. Palestinians are referred to as animals, beasts and Nazis. They have no right to exist. Their children have no right to exist. They must be cleansed from the earth. The extermination of those whose land we steal, whose resources we plunder and whose labor we exploit is coded within our DNA. Ask Native Americans. Ask Indians. Ask the Congolese. Ask the Kikuyu in Kenya. Ask the Herero in Namibia who, like Palestinians in Gaza, were gunned down and driven into desert concentration camps where they died of starvation and disease. Eighty thousand of them. Ask Iraqis. Ask Afghans. Ask Syrians. Ask Kurds. Ask Libyans. Ask indigenous peoples across the globe. They know who we are. Israel’s distorted, settler colonial visage is our own. We pretend otherwise. We ascribe to ourselves virtues and civilizing qualities that are, as in Israel, flimsy justifications for stripping an occupied and besieged people of their rights, seizing their land and using prolonged imprisonment, torture, humiliation, enforced poverty and murder to keep them subjugated. Not to be outdone, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Hamas in a press conference with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, as “the new Nazis”. Think about that. A people, imprisoned in the world’s largest concentration camp for sixteen years, denied food, water, fuel and medicine, lacking an army, air force, navy, mechanized units, artillery, command and control and missile batteries, is being butchered and starved by one of the most advanced militaries on the planet, and they are the Nazis? There is an historical analogy here. But it is not one that Bennett, Netanyahu or any other Israeli leader wants to acknowledge. When those who are occupied refuse to submit, when they continue to resist, we drop all pretense of our “civilizing” mission and unleash, as in Gaza, an orgy of slaughter and destruction. We become drunk on violence. This violence makes us insane. We kill with reckless ferocity. We become the beasts we accuse the oppressed of being. We expose the lie of our vaunted moral superiority. We expose the fundamental truth about Western civilization — we are the most ruthless and efficient killers on the planet. This alone is why we dominate the “wretched of the earth.” It has nothing to do with democracy or freedom or liberty. These are rights we never intend to grant to the oppressed. Genocide lies at the core of Western imperialism. It is not unique to Israel. It is not unique to the Nazis. It is the building block of Western domination. The humanitarian interventionists who insist we should bomb and occupy other nations because we embody goodness — although they promote military intervention only when it is perceived to be in our national interest — are useful idiots of the war machine and global imperialists. They live in an Alice-in-Wonderland fairytale where the rivers of blood we spawn make the world a happier and better place. They are the smiley faces of genocide. You can watch them on your screens. You can listen to them spout their pseudo-morality in the White House and in Congress. They are always wrong. And they never go away.

That's nice you still remember Russia, but why you bring it to thread about Israel and Palestine?

Israel And The Palestinians: A Nightmare In Desperate Search Of A Solution
Moses replied to PeterRS's topic in The Beer Bar
The director of the New York office of the UN high commissioner for human rights has left his post, protesting that the UN is “failing” in its duty to prevent what he categorizes as genocide of Palestinian civilians in Gaza under Israeli bombardment and citing the US, UK and much of Europe as “wholly complicit in the horrific assault”. Mokhiber, who was stepping down having reached retirement age, wrote: “Once again we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes and the organization we serve appears powerless to stop it.” Mokhiber added: “This is text book case of genocide” and said the US, UK and much of Europe were not only “refusing to meet their treaty obligations” under the Geneva Conventions but were also arming Israel’s assault and providing political and diplomatic cover for it. “We must support the establishment of a single, democratic secular state in all of historic Palestine, with equal rights for Christians, Muslims, and Jews,” he wrote, adding: “and, therefore, the dismantling of the deeply racist, settler-colonial project and an end to apartheid across the land.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/un-official-resigns-israel-hamas-war-palestine-new-york -
It cuts their tips, but doesn't cuts their income: normally boys have 100 Bahts commission from drinks. So for them tips or drinks is the same.

That's fake from CBS. There weren't antisemitic disorders, there were anti-Israilian disorders. And participants chanted "Allah Akbar" - takbir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takbir Here is page with most long video from airport, it is in Russian https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/6310495

It shows clearly: you have zero knowledges about Russia. Putin isn't member of any party. Surprise. Moreover: United Russia is party of Medvedev, who was president in Russia in 2008-2012. United Russia has been created when Putin was president of Russia already.
-
Then tell me: who of us is more idiot - me, who is talking about facts and about life what I see around me while I'm living in Russia, or you - who is pretending to be expert and trying to talk about me while have zero knowledges about me?
-
Oh, yes, let's talk about me. I understand your situation: you have no facts for objection, so have to talk about me. I'm sorry about it (not really).

Well it is compile with general trend of US propaganda. Than more they will say, then more there will be lies. And about "mobilization" and "mobilized". The only mobilization in Russia was from September 21 2022 to the end of October 2022. In total here were mobilized 300K, mostly for police functions and security on taken territories. There were 600K of contracted military personnel at time of start of military operation, since that time about 500K more were contracted (360K in 2023). Mobilized personnel isn't motivated enough for to fight, so they are in service outside of line of the front.

How does this refute the fact: Putin has votes of the majority of citizens of Russia? It is clear: Biden has approval rate below 30%. It is clear Putin has approval rate above 60%. And this is problem for Western propaganda - approval rate shows: president has votes of majority. With that is not possible to say "he isn't legitimate". When all public opinion polls show that the level of approval of Putin's actions is above 60%, it is pointless to talk about the nature of the presidential election. And in these conditions, no matter what the elections are - free, fake, democratic or under pressure - they will still show a result that corresponds to public opinion. And no matter what propaganda says in Western sources, no matter what epithets it uses when talking about Putin - aggressor, tyrant, autocrat... whatever - this will not eliminate the fact: Putin has the support of the majority of the population of Russia. Refrigerators all over Russia are voting for him - they are stocked better than 20 and 10 years ago.
-
Well is it bad? Is it bad what Biden uses resources of Dem party? Is it bad what Trump uses resources of Rep. party? United Russia is one of 6 parties represented in Russian Duma (parliament). What's bad in fact what it supports Putin?
-
Sure. It has possibility to question Russians within Russia. And you should check the bottom of the site: АНО “Левада-Центр” внесена Минюстом в реестр некоммерческих организаций, выполняющих функции иностранного агента (translation for you: ANO “Levada-Center” was included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of non-profit organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent. I.e. it is opposition owned resource.) Even opposition here doesn't deny: Putin has approval of majority. And after that conclusion any texts about Russian presidential elections are pure speculation - when candidate has majority of population his victory is clear, despite propaganda says about "fair/notfair" and uses other tricks. He has majority, he is legitimate anyway.

Are you serious? Anyone may state in Wiki anything because anyone may edit it. Here are going monthly researches. Including Gallup's research. Some researches are provided by state agencies, some - by private agencies, some are provided by "foreign agents" (read: "opposition"). And results are every time the same - Putin is supported by majority of Russians. Results from state agencies shows 75-80% support, private agencies show 70-75%, agencies from opposition show 65-70%. So no doubts - right now 2/3 of Russians support Putin. You may call it "refrigerator's vote" - people are voting for him because during his time quality of life in Russia grew more than 5 times, first of all - personal income. Here is Levada-centr's website. Private agency which serves opposition https://www.levada.ru/indikatory/odobrenie-organov-vlasti/ use Google translation.

Putin is leader for majority in Russia. Nobody can tell the same about American president. Each president is leader for minority and US even hasn't direct elections.

Dreams... dreams... Meanwhile Thailand on past week extended for Russians from 30 to 90 days time for visits without visas.

Israel And The Palestinians: A Nightmare In Desperate Search Of A Solution

I'm more than OK with creating Jewish state. I'm talking about ignorance of creating Palestinian state simultaneously with creating Jewish state as it is decided by UN. -

Everything started in 1948. Israel and US played significant role, and now Israel has what has been unavoidable - if you will push spring, you will get reaction soon or late. -

Correct. Where else to find munitions to old tanks and artillery what Russia took from own reserves where it where sealed for 40-50 years? And it is the same Russia what already 3 years has hypersonic weaponry, the same weaponry what has also China and still hasn't US - all test fails. -

US already started dances with Iran for to pull it to their side in this game. And nobody cares about it "autocratic" regime. Money doesn't smell, "Somosa is son of the bitch, but it is our son of the bitch".
