        I saw a video of an Israel official on RT blaming Russia and vowing revenge. I also saw some analysis that some of the weapons Hamas had were from North Korea and Russia would’ve had to have helped get the weapons there. There is all kinds of disinformation going on about the Israel war, so I take everything with a grain of salt.

        Calling for a stop to an ethnic cleansing campaign is not pro Russia. If anything, Israel’s behavior has greatly increased the threat of harm to its civilians, and its image on the world stage may never recover. Same for the U.S. ever trying to claim moral superiority.

          If I was living in Gaza right now, I’d be transforming myself into a human revenge machine. Even if nobody I knew personally had been killed. Just seeing my neighbors being slaughtered, I’d be quietly and coldly calculating.

          That has been Russia’s game for more than a decade now: stoke existing tensions. Brexit, political polarization in the USA and internal division in nearly all European countries.

          Bringing the already uneasy situation between Israel/Palestine to a boiling point in order to distract from Russia’s war in Ukraine is not a big stretch.

              In your own words, what is it about the demographics of Israel or the history of Russian aid to Palestine, that would alter people’s opinions in this context if they knew it?

          I don’t know how making an almost pedestrian (in international relations terms) idea sound incredulous and fantastical is supposed to refute that idea, but it certainly makes you come across as, shall we say, suspiciously out of touch.

              When you set up the false premise that Russia would have had to have planned this long ago, as opposed to the stultifyingly obvious possibility that they are simply stoking and taking advantage of a decades-long situation, then of course this seems like tinfoil hat territory.

              But if you do choose to occupy the same reality as the rest of us (even just for a few brief moments) wherein Israel and Palestine have been at odds since Israel was dropped in Palestine, and wherein Russia has a long history (like most other superpowers, my home country included) of meddling in the affairs of other countries to their own strategic advantage, then, well, this all seems pretty straightforward.

              But you aren’t engaging with my actual words before lazily dismissing me as “terminally online” (whatever you think that means), and I’m not sure you’re even reading them. Case in point - you are reacting as if I’m calling you pedestrian, when I’m clearly calling the concept of one nation meddling in the affairs of another nation almost pedestrian.

              But I’m done wasting words on someone who doesn’t know what to do with them - or who intentionally misuses them. Good night.

              It’s all orchestrated by big, bad (simultaneously weak, cowardly) Russia - never mind the fact that Israel and Russia are pals. As long as it can sow fear and confusion in the population to hinder a popular peace movement, anything goes.

        It only makes sense. Russia financing start of another conflict that takes attention away from Ukraine and has 110% certainty of making Jews (Zelenskyy) look bad because of the batshit cracy fascist Israeli government, and USA look bad because their history in middle east and they’d probably get involved directly in some way again (happening right now). Oh also Hamas attacked on Putin’s birthday or some shit

        It is not like Israel needs any help, and I don’t think that we are all incapable of following two different events.

        If we are talking about theories, it can also be that west created it so that people’s attention goes away of Ukraine since it is just a big fiasco.

    Jeffries is toeing the same line.

    There is a huge generational divide in the democratic party between those who benefit from the US police state and those who are suffering from it.

    This seems to map very cleanly onto whether people support the Gaza genocide.

      Pretty sure it’s in reference to this past weekend she got approached by someone demanding a ceasefire, and Pelosi’s response was for that person to go back to China because they are also genociding Uygurs. She later claimed she thought the reporter was a Russian plant or some unhinged bs.

      So, not even the usual ceasefire bad because right to defend. Just ceasefire bad because whataboutism.

      My running theory from observing from across the Atlantic is that participating in American politics is mentally destructive. You are confronted by two frankly terrible options, so you either accept you live in an undemocratic country or you have to convince yourself that one of the parties is actually good. No matter what choice you make, it breaks something in you.

        Maybe this is what leads to so much cultlike behavior and unquestioned loyalty to one party or the other. And if you’re anywhere outside these parties, or you so much as criticize a sitting politician, then you’re hated from all sides and accused of being a Russian bot, which is especially disappointing when you’re someone who does hold your nose and vote blue, but that’s not good enough – you have to fully toe the line, or else it’s perceived as interfering with a campaign, a campaign which never ends.

        We’re not really a democracy, are we?

      No, she literally replied to a protester who asked her if she would call for a ceasefire fire, and I quote, “Go back to China where your headquarters are”. Stop defending people who are complicit of genocide (an actual crime btw).

    She’s right, but in this rare situation the Kremlin’s propaganda is pushing for something good.

    • She’s right that some of the vocal criticism of Biden over Gaza is probably pushed by Russia. The Kremlin’s propaganda is pushing for chaos and dissent in US politics. It’s not because they care about Gaza.

        She is wrong complaining about Russia interference of domestic and international affairs since she takes money from Israeli loppyist to shape the foreign affairs policies disregarding the good of tax payers.

        She is also never pushed back against US government support in other countries such as meddling in China bussinus, went to Taiwan, meddling in Russian bussinus, meddling in Iran bussinus, and many many other countries that doesn’t get coverage.

        She want to throw rocks at people and complain when someone throw a rock back.
