Am I right? Is this the new international boogeyman?

What's the supposed difference between the Ukraine and Gaza? Has communism now become radical islam? Are all sins forgiven for amoral and indeed immoral conduct just because there's radical islam to cope with? So one is a war of imperial conquest waged by an expansionist military superpower against a sovereign state, the other the fight of a sovereign state against non-state actors and terrorists? Gaza has been occupied for six decades, and what about the American Declaration of Indepence then: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The difference is that Hamas wishes to destroy Israel. Ukraine does not wish to destroy Russia. It really is elementary. But sadly, many people cannot, or refuse to, see it.

@MartinII Hell there. Long not seen. War in Gaza not entirely about Hamas, you know. The people there have had decades of occupation. Plus somehow there's more deaths and ammo used there too

@val70 Entirely the fault of Hamas.

@MartinII Hamas dates from the 80s. What was the excuse for the period before them then? Entirely Isreal's fault that they still have millions of people under military rule. Must be the longest period of time since the Romans. Zealots there were then too

@val70 Israel did not occupy Gaza: Hamas does.

@MandyMitchell Oh yes, Hamas, Hamas, Hamas, etc. Forget about the military rule over the Palestinians. What sort of justice have they got these past seven decades? Military tribunal. Well, that sounds to me like OCCUPATION alright. Fool you if you think otherwise

@val70 Gaza is controlled by Hamas - voted for by the Gaza population. All the Jewish people left many years ago.
