    I feel like there needs to be a new term similar to how it’s called Holocaust denial when the holocaust is compared to things like the soviet gulag system or famines in China. It’s Palestinian genocide denial to compare the occupation of Palestine to the Russian occupation of Eastern Ukraine. Like it’s not even close and any normal person should be horrified that they’re being compared like this. Russia simply isn’t committing a genocide. They’ve probably committed war crimes or killed civilians, but this isn’t comparable to the scale and cruelty that the Zionist entity has committed

      Yeah Russia has shown immense restraint when you consider the imbalance of power there (power dynamics lenin-dont-laugh ) compared to what Israel is doing. Like Russia isn’t out there gleefully murdering children, though as I type this I realize libs have probably swallowed the propaganda so wholly they actually think this.
