The fact the Israel does war crimes does not excuse Russia doing war crimes. Both should be punished.

One of these is the enemy of you nation that you've been taught your whole life to warmonger against.

The other is your ally that your taxes pay for, and you supply the weapons for to commit genocide.

You have more of a responsibility to confront one than the other. Do you not understand this, or do you just like playing dumb to both sides everything and wash away your own guilt? You realize playing into your nations' imperialist warmongering narratives AND defending Israeli genocide with "both sides" crap doubles your sins, it doesn't cancel them out.

I'm not from us. My government does not contribute to Isreal at all. We hoever contribute as much aid to Palestine and Ukraine as we can. I'm not from a rich country, so it's a drop in a bucket..

if you are from part of the imperialist bloc of the west, yes you to contribute directly and indirectly to the western project of colonization.

If not, it's sad to see you've let western imperialist narratives colonize your mind

if you think these are anywhere on the same scale or barbarity then you're extremely misinformed about the world. Israel killed more civilians in a month then Russia did in 3 years.

War crimes are war crimes. It's not a contest who collects more or collects less. You make one that should be enough to get your economy crippled by others. Sadly, one is not punished enough, another not at all.

ok everyone in all wars ever are equally guilty of war crimes. Nazis? Exactly the same as Native Americans defending their homeland. It's all the same. War crimes are war crimes.

This is the brainrot of the liberal mind. The mechanism of "punishment" is more war, from the warmonger imperialists. You cannot 'punish' russia without cheering on western imperialist war. It's zero sum.
