You know dictionaries can cover multiple definitions for words depending on context, right?
Indeed, and those definition might be interesting to start a subject, not necessaraly when we dive deeper in the historical and political reality of words.

Language is a living thing. Dictionnaries are not the best tool to take that into account.

What about hoping for a desascalation instead ?
Pretty much impossible since Israel struck the Iranian embassy in Damascus. Whether it happens will be seen after the attack, but deescalation will not happen on a single front of this conflict while Gaza is still being leveled.
 
I was at this jewish event and I was talking to this guy

He was a ukrainian jew.

And we were talking about the history of Ukraine and how Ukraine has always been under the foot of Russia. Not only now but during the soviet union. Yet only a bit later in the conversation, he talked about how he was pro israel.

I don't get how some people hold literally contradictory views so long as its in their benefit. Russia is doing literally the same thing to Ukraine that Israel is doing to Palestine. With literally the exact same justification.
Russia: We have a historical right to Ukraine because of the soviet union, the kievan rus, etc.
Israel: We have a historical right to the west bank because of judaea and samaria

Russia: We need to invade Ukraine because they are nazis
Israel: We need to obliterate gaza because they are nazis
Post automatically merged:

But his position wasn't particularly new. This is the position the entire west has taken.

We support Ukraine because its in our interests.
We support Israel because its also supposedly in our interests.

Absolutely zero recognition of basic morality.


Joe Biden accused Russia of doing genocide in Ukraine but G-d forbid anyone say the same for Israel.

Fundamentally there are 2 types of people: those who condemn oppression and conquest on one hand, and on the other hand those who are perfectly fine with oppression and conquest as long as they're not on the receiving end.
 
you do realize that is a very fundamental difference right lol
Indeed. In one case people have a lot of ressources, have an army, tanks and big military equipements to fight the oppressor and the support of the international community and in the other people are starving, have nothing but rockets/tunnels and are only supported by the east.

There is indeed a difference
