When I read these kind of posts, I just wonder, was he 10 times more “loosing sleep” when Assad government killed order of magnitude more civilians? Or is it just now, because of the Jews?
When I read these kinds of posts, I’m reminded that calling or implying people are antisemititic for not simping for genocide isn’t just a meme but the real tactic used to silence and discredit legitimate concerns.
Funny you’re more offended about this guy having a voice than you are 20,000 dead.
I am not offended, why would I? just see an explosion on internet of outrage of what is going on in Gaza, while the same internet was relatively quiet during events in Syria. I see huge hypocrisy in that, and the only explanation I can find is yes, it is due to antisemitism. And most of the whining about loss of life is hypocritical.
The difference is that this time the West is supporting and financing the genocide.
Genocide? Please. This is a war with quite low numbers of civilians casualties so far. Was it genocide when the west entered Iraq? Afghanistan? ISIS? Where was the outrage when Americans took Fallujah or Mosul? These are just single battles.
The fact that in similar situations nobody brings “genocide” but here they do, suggest for me the same - hypocrisy.
In Gaza about 1% of the population died you moron. Also people were very much outraged at these things.
What percentage died in Mosul? Aleppo? Fallujah? I would guess larger. And you worried only now? And lashing out on other people for pointing your hypocrisy, only shows that you do not have moral or at least consistent position to stand, and you start calling other people morons. Examine your own position from universal human values, rather than “Jews are evil”, think it through.
9 days after writing a completely one-sided article about a complicated, almost century long war, declaring his own weakening mental state a person is deemed no longer fit to be called "director". Seems fine to me. I got a similar reaction to when Russia attacked Ukraine, and I wouldn't have been fit to lead anyone during that few first months either. I barely got even the simplest things done.
I'm sure there's plenty of things for him to do in this world below that position, and perhaps he can try a high position again later.
It should be noted that Russia's aggression against Ukraine is still going on, and is in a huge risk of ending badly, and the Gaza crisis is diverting attention from that much larger conflict. It's not unreasonable to say that the Gaza war is an offshoot of that war: Iran, Russia and Hamas saw an opportunity and took it and now this is happening.
