Russia/Ukraine is not an urban war, why would I compare it to that?

> In any case Israel is not conducting a war, they are conducting a massacre.

And your are basing this on what? Just your own imagination? The actual facts show a war, like all other wars. Well not like all others, this one has Jews in it, so it gets extra attention.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, let's quiz you then: What country currently has millions of people are risk of starving to death due to war?

I'll give you more clues: it's also one of the largest mass displacements of people due to war in current times, with plenty of rape and ethnic cleansing.

I will of course want to see how many comments you've posted about the topic, and how many HN submissions. Since obviously this war is many times larger than Gaza, so should command a much larger portion of your attention.

Ah I see, the common whataboutism combined with a little bit of antisemitism accusations. Good one.

That's not whataboutism, the issue at hand is that no one cares about conflicts unless Jews are involved, and I just proved that to you. Whataboutism would be for you to reply to me, I was the one who started the statement.

And you seem incredibly obsessed with this conflict - but no others.
