Indeed. But as you might notice, WW2 is almost a century ago at this point. Were they to do it in the present day, they would have to face present day criticism. However, they don't do that anymore, which makes your whole attempt at false equivalency rather hollow.

1945 and 2026 are though.

The reasons people dislike Israel today is because of their actions over the past few years.

But you know that, you just seek to distort and twist. It is not a conversation for you, it is an opportunity for hateful propaganda.

It seems to me that interfering in a foreign election should be understood to be grounds for war.

Yes, and the EU, due to this fragmentation, seems to be a fertile playground for all this unacceptable interference by foreign powers.

I'm quite convinced that Israelis have an edge in communication and socials.

And god forbid how easily you're labeled as anti semitic for bringing up facts about Israeli spying and lobbying in the west.

Hell, in Italy, neo nazi hooligans go protest for Israel with hundreds of police defending them.

Whereas genuine pro Palestinian protests (99 times out of 100 peaceful) met nothing but batons and condemnation.

Even the tv narratives about these events is disgusting.

It's clear the Israelis know how to do their job.

This site definitely has a cohort of completely unhinged war mongers. The same names (and a bunch of random new accounts) never fail to show up to defend genocide or any other atrocities being committed.

This board sure attracts hordes of alt right apologists and anarcho capitalists.

And in general a huge lack of empathy and obsession with power and money.

I guess it's normal given the coupling to the #1 VC incubator of the #1 country that obsesses over power and money.

Israel under Netanyahu is part of the international antidemocratic axis of imperialist autocracy. Other members, in no particular order: Orban, Trump, Putin, Babis, Thiel, Bolsonaro, Ellison, Milei, Nawrocki. These gentlemen (and of course they're all men) constitute the 21st century axis of evil, responsible for most of the backsliding and worsening of rule of law around the world.

Not Meloni, then?

This list might be non-exhaustive. Good point on Meloni, she's a bit of a special case. Turns out women can be evil, too!

I don't think Ukrainian will appreciate your logic.

Palestinian didn't start the war either. Read the Balfour Declaration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration
