news [Day 798] Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Pro-Palestine accounts are outraged by this in the comments after urging the entertainment industry to blacklist every pro-Israel "Zionist" celebrity (or harassing celebrities for merely not speaking out about Palestine). Astounding hypocrisy. I simply hate them.

The EU Commission threatened to expel them from key voting and funding blocks if they hadn’t - that’s all this comes down to

A very nice development (if true).

It seems like the Biden admin is currently using this loophole to keep supplying weapons to Ukraine while MAGAs are blocking direct aid. They should use seized russian assets for buying weapons directly from manufacturers. This would also nullify the "aMeRiCan TaxPaYer" argument on the far-right and the far-left.

This is beyond disgusting. Yet, no outrage from the far-left that seems to be concerned about settler colonialism. The same thing happened to Donbas during the USSR (which is exactly why there is a large minority of ethnic russians in the first place).

This is the exact same thing the Israeli government does in Palestine and you're right, it's disgusting. Population transfer into occupied territories is against the Geneva convention, Article 49 - Deportations, transfers, evacuations.

 

Quote

The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

Finally got around to updating the OP. Long story - I don’t access this thread much on mobile since it’s impossible for edits even on Firefox. Whatever.

 

32 million Ukrainians have left since the invasion, either fleeing or by force. Staggering numbers.
