It's definitely not "the genocide". I don't think it's even "a genocide". As clarification, this is an example of what I think qualifies as a genocide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide and I am aware that UN has far far less stringent definitions. I don't think we should be watering down serious concepts like UN is doing there.

But yes, that's how I view Israel's justification for the Gaza War. Obviously Russia's justification for invading Ukraine is even more ludicrous than Hamas's justification for terrorizing and invading Israel regurarily, but it's not exactly sane either.

Hamas is obviously the greater evil in about the same way as Nazis were obviously the greater evil in Europe in WW2. Beating them was also extremely harsh for german civilians sometimes. Dresden firebombings killed 25 000 people in a single bombing raid, in a population of about 600 000 people. Relatively speaking about as many deaths in that one day than total in Gaza since October 7 2023.

Was it necessary? I cannot tell definitely, but probably not all of it was and probably most of it was.

Israel is a logical ally to Ukraine because both are being attacked by an evil entity using fake justification. The more nations are acting both against Russia and radical Islam, the better. To have a nation as advanced as Israel on the right side on this is a very good thing.

As a finn, I very much want "gifts" from Israel. Their air defence systems are amazing, and they have very nice looking defence capabilities against drones. Which seems to be a growing risk from Russia.

I hope nobody is surprised to hear that I value the people of Finland over the people of palestine.

Sure, but also a war veteran of one of the shittiest wars in history. I'm not excusing the man's action (fucking obviously I hope), just saying that Trump and fellas have experienced nothing even remotely like that. Even the guys who have participated in US "wars" haven't.

... so ... umm.... Trump?
