Because he’s the removed of at least three countries (Russia, Israel-not a real country, Saudi Arabia)

Israel and Palestine are both countries, I don’t understand your comment?

I don’t recognize Israel as a country where they want to eradicate the people that were there before them. I agree with Palestine.

I assure you 99.9% of Palestinians want the fighting to end.

Israel’s civilian murder rate of Palestinians in this war is the highest of anything in recent history

Something like 80% of the people killed have been civilians. This is according to the Israeli government figures.

These civilian casualties rates by far surpass the war in Ukraine being waged by russia, on both sides, like double or triple the rate. Russia’s civilian casualties are way less and so are Ukraine’s.

Edit: these figures are mortifying morbid dark, I don’t have the words, but if we accept that these countries are at war, one metric that can be recorded is soldiers lost versus civilians lost. If we accept this to be a data metric… Israel is currently committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of a Semitic people.

I’m sure they do and don’t dispute that.
