In a strange shift, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted as saying that Israel’s war on Gaza is identical to Moscow’s military operation against Ukraine.
The comments, attributed to Russia’s top diplomat, were cited by Russia Today in an interview on Thursday with RIA Novosti.
“The goals declared by Israel for its ongoing operation against Hamas militants in Gaza seem nearly identical to those put forward by Moscow in its campaign against the Ukrainian government,” RT quoted Lavrov as saying.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 21,320 Palestinians have been killed, and 55,603 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
Many international law experts have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.
See what I mean? You would never make absurd accusations of “counter factual” genocide if it was a Western country. But you need Russian warcrimes to be different from Western ones for your ideology of “the West is bad, but still better than everyone else” to work.
If that wasn’t the case, it would be more than enough to condemn Russia for a war of aggression, it’s a serious warcrime, one of the most serious in international law. But of course, westerners don’t think it’s serious at all, and do it all the time, so they need something else to accuse their enemies of. Hence this “counterfactual genocide”
