Just a reminder, a lot of people throughout the world would say the same about your country.

Also, the journalist you seem to have in mind, Arkady Babchenko, is weirdly alive for someone that's been killed.

No, your country genociding Palestinians, with the cruelty that would make a zetnik horrified. Saying that it, in its current state, should be destroyed certainly isn't a fringe opinion these days.

well, we have difference of opinion about genociding. and you obviously not sufficiently exposed to russian opinions about ukrainians: to kill all adults and reeducate children to be good russian and use them to fight west, is not exactly fringe opinion.

but given that we were talking about cultural suppression, in my country, there is an state financed arabic school system where everything is taught in arabic, state sponsors muslim clerics/mosques and by law all signage and documents must have arabic.

ps. kinda ironic that you actually want to genocide entire country while complaining about "genocide"

Please spare this forum the "it's not a war crime if I was having fun" argument. However many Arabic schools you have, after all that's happened in Gaza, nobody needs a morality lesson from an Israeli.

i don't have habit of giving morality lessons to somebody. especially to somebody who willingly misrepresents what happens in israel, ukraine and russia
