I sent this to some friends with my own added text of "Russia: doing a genocide. Israel: totally a-ok, no genocide here, carry on"

One of the people surprised me with a "how can you possibly think Russia isn't trying to genocide Ukraine" and was completely flabbergasted that I was actually suggesting that Israel fucking is.

Even if that's the way you think, I thought my sarcasm was perfectly clear and would be obvious to them what my stance is...

You think you know some people.

This is complete propaganda, fam. The Gaza death toll has exceeded 200,000 according to Palestinian hospitals… and that figure is months-old. Before they started bulldozing the West Bank.

Hospitals in Palestine are very meticulous about counting their dead and keeping records. Being under genocidal occupation for decades where Israelis can just kidnap and kill you for fun will do that to a society.

A certain strain of MAGA really doesn’t like it when you start pointing out basic reality contradicts their entire belief system, careful around these parts!

I interpreted their comment as both Israel and Russia are committing genocide?

I believe that by "you" they mean other people, not actually the person they were responding to. That is to say, the commenter is agreeing with the previous one, not criticizing them.

Years of brainwashing makes people deny the evidence that they can clearly see

"Injured 10 in Ukraine"

If you read the report on the Yemen strike it was 11 injuries... just goes to show it's all about how brown your skin is

Free Palestine - Slava Ukraine!

If this were happening in another country, say Sudan, we just wouldn’t get a news. bit at all.

The only reason we get news is Israel is involved, and the US is obsessed with enabling Israeli military expansionism.

Clearly the distinction is whether or not the target is an internationally recognized country with borders. You can't genocide a group with a shared identity and no embassies!

/s just in case
