This is nothing new. Liberals have always done this throughout history. They put all the blame on individuals to cover up the root cause of these constantly reoccuring wars and genocides.

Netanyahu isn’t the problem.

Israel is. The West is. Imperialism is. Capitalism is.

    Would you also agree most Russians are responsible for the invasion of Ukraine?

    The only war is class war.

      Is anyone trying to defend Russia by pinning everything in Putin alone and saying we need to keep supporting Russia because they’re otherwise good? No? Then you’re just strawmanning

      if those “Russians” came from other continents, and started stealing native Ukrainian land, calling it Russia due to biblical crap, while imperialists giving them a green card, then they started ethnic cleanse millions of indigenous people of that land, and established a fake western state called Russia, renaming every village with fake names using a made up language.

      Then my answer is YES i would agree

        I mean those Russians are volunteering to murder Ukrainians for money.

          Even if this were true (it’s not) you still moved the goal posts from your original statement. And even if it were true (it’s not) it still doesn’t pin the problem solely on Putin or on Russian citizens, almost like there’s nuanced material analysis to be applied across broad, complex international geopolitics.

          EVEN THEN, Your analysis is just mediocre at best. Deliberately misleading, childish and ignorant at worst.

          The Palestinians do not have an army and cannot defend themselves. The Palestinians aren’t getting weapons and ammunition to defend themselves from the western imperial powers. They live in an open air prison and have nowhere to run and no means to defend themselves. This is not an equivalent comparison.

      I would say the NATO leaders are responsible, as they’ve admitted their plan to provoke Russia into invading by breaking the minsk agreements and building forces up along the border.

      I agree with you. I find it to be a forest for the trees argument with many sympathetic to the Palastinians cause. They fail so see the driving factors behind the zionist project is class exploitation.

      Instead they get drawn into the narratives of the elites on the other side who seek to exploit them through continuation of the project.

      Like supporting a Mullah, because you are against the Rabbi, when the true enemy is the elites using religion…

              What is racism other than declaring one’s superiority over others? Its just a sub form of classism’s.

              Racism at a fundamental level is indisingishable from nationalism, or Religiocentrism.

              Classism is the basic concept that one person deserves more than another. Its anti-equality. It has many subforms.

              Racism is insufficient to describe the motivations of Zionism. Take the racism away and it still won’t address most of the problems of religiocentrism and nationalism in that state.

        Fair point. The Epstein class is planning the Gaza rebuild and the techno fascists are totally onboard with this. The fundamentals are a tool for the imperial empire to establish a foothold in the oil rich Middle East. I mean the country was literally founded by the Rothschild’s. I would say both groups are using eachother but even among the “elite” this thread of white Jewish supremacy is ever present. The elites and Jeffrey Epstein were very into social Darwinism, eugenics and supremacy. All these factors play a roll in what we are seeing in Gaza.
