      That is an opinion that some people share.

      I don’t think they are easily compared. Different forms of the same general crime against humanity.

      Both are pretty awful, but I’m not sure that it’s a contest about which has a greater degree of awfulness.

      I’d support similar economic treatment of Israel’s overseas financial holdings though.

      Wouldn’t that be something to see! Haha it’s fun to think about at least.

      Israel not being held accountable for it’s shitty behavior doesn’t mean Russia should get a free pass

        Israel killed more women and children in two months than Russia did in two years. Which is even more impressive because Palestine is way smaller than Ukraine.

        Russia makes less than 3% civilian casualties. Israel at least 80% and probably way more.

        This doesn’t make Russia’s invasion good but at leas they’re not intentionally massacring the entirity of Ukraine Holocaust style.

        But yes if Europe sanctioned both then I wouldn’t complain about it. The selective application is the problem.

          Well, you certainly are allowed to be mad about the unfairness of it all

          ‘Fair’ is a figment of human imagination unfortunately, but it’s one of our best dreams and I too wish all the things were fair.
