Comparatively, there are structures standing. The city remains. In Gaza, it is annihilation. This does not diminish the severity of Putin's crimes. It emphasizes Israel's. 160

According to many people my being in a frat house would have been “asking for it.” Rape is the rapists’s fault alone. 1499
