This is a very strange rhetorical maneuver and it's basically identical to "I just want Ukrainians to stop dying" which more often than not translates into a political demand that the Ukrainians surrender territory and sovereignty.

In my experience the vast majority of the people who go "the Palestinians have the worst allies" themselves do not support anything Palestinians aspire to or desire on a political level.

A certain Ukrainian ex-president also had a golden bathroom (a golden toilet, to be precise), and he fled following months of popular protest. But, I guess, that is too passé for a real democracy, like the US

a 'ceasefire', where one side has an overwhelming military advanage, almost total effective control of the territory and arrogates itself the ability to declare when the 'ceasefire' has been breached, to which it can respond with military violence.
Great.

My bike was stolen a couple of days ago and comrade @pashukanist.bsky.social delivered a perfect comment saying that there would be no bike theft under communism since everyone could get a free bike for personal use. I dare you to find a better argument in favour or communism.

Given that Trump rolled the red carpet for Netanyahu, in the first official visit his second admin received, there is really little that’s new in him giving a warm welcome to Putin.

I used to go at enormous lengths debating my fellow Ukrainians (especially pro-Israel ones) telling them that if we lose the war, our situation will be very much like that of Palestine. People laughed at me.
"Russia and the United States have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine"
“Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”
An abomination.

Yes, right, since the occupation of the West Bank has proved to be an astounding success as the governance model👍👍👍
Oof: “Russia & the US have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine. [..] Russia would have military & econ control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel’s de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.”
US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine’
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is understood to support the idea, which can be revealed before the president meets Putin in Alaska on Friday

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

Will rule of law provide healthcare to thousands of amputees, children and adults in acute distress, warm the houses of the elderly in the winter?
Not sure. What it will do is of course provide the investor confidence for German capital to bleed the country dry - not the first time and not the last
