At least have the decency to not pretend that you actually care about the Palestinians or any other group of people suffering under oppression.

After reading some comments from the history of the other user, I'm asking myself if HN supports shadow banning.

doesn't surprise me that the first response for an opinion other than the mainstream media narrative is censorship and banning the person

the history of mankind is mired in war and conquest, it is an inescapable part of what makes us human (sadly).

What i don't like is fake outrage and hypocrisy from Zelesnky zealots who seem "ok" with thousands of civilians dying because one actor/Prime Minister can't understand when he is beaten.

If Russia really wanted to, they have the arsenal to level and completely destroy the Ukraine and its infastructure, but they don't. Instead of understanding this fact, Zelesnky continues to "poke the bear" and continues this useless war with ever more fervor.

Sometimes you have to know when you are beaten for the greater good of your countries citizens.

The Ukrainians are fighting for the very existence of their country and people, the Russians commit genocide regularly in Ukraine and regularly kill and rape civilians.

The bear is not getting poked, it's getting destroyed right now, in this month alone Russias losses have been staggering. Ukraine is clearly winning back large amounts of territory now with the counteroffensive. The Russians have melted in the face of a slight resistance.

Who knew that the Russian army was incapable of taking a cities a mere couple hundreds of kilometres from its border?, they are a joke compared to what the world thought of them prior to the invasion this year.

Should tell Putin this before the Russians roll out the T-55s. I don't think they are far off it.
