I believe Israel’s conduct in Gaza amounts to genocide, carried out with the political,military and diplomatic backing of the USA.Calling this out is not hatred toward Israelis or Jews. It is a demand for accountability.Civilian lives are not bargaining chips. International law cannot be selective.

The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.
