“Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered. But never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport.”
- Christopher Hedges American journalist on assignment in Gaza
This is gaslighting.
I stand with Ukraine and Gaza.
Between their oppressors Putin is clearly the most dangerous, threatening a global conflict.
But Netanyahu is clearly the most sickening evil. Putin is fueled by the desire to dominate and rule. Netanyahu is motivated and appears to delight in pure hatred.
It’s a literal whataboutism to deflect from the current topic.
