It’s a juxtaposition of kareems cognitive dissonance while debating a controversial decision taken by Russia to move thousands of kids away from an active war zone which has been condemned by EU and ICC.
Yeah I couldn't help but see that parallel too
Theres actually a surprising amount of historical and contemporary repetition to be had. I mean we had syria and libya and yemen and iraq and afghanistan before Ukraine, but I keep getting drawn to comparing the Israeli-Hamas war to the Dakota War of 1862. About 1400 minnesotan civilians murdered, tortured, abducted, raped, desecrated- and now the mainstream american consciousness remembers it as the 'mass execution of 38 native americans' after hundreds were convicted and most commuted, and a few years ago we issued a formal
apology for '150 years of trauma'. In the year 2173, if any jews are left alive, will they all be self-hating enough to issue a formal apology to the descendants of the Oct 23 invaders?
I suppose if the IDF had gone in and rescued the
non-combatant children from Gaza City and brought them to Israel, we'd be getting the same line about it being a war crime of seperating families
