Can you explain why you feel that way? Genuinely asking in good faith, I can't understand what you might be objecting to about it, but I'd like to hear your perspective.
Russias invasion was completely unprovoked, they deliberately target civilians as a policy at range with shahed drones and missiles and in occupied areas in a way that leads to mass graves. They deny Ukrainian culture exists, kidnapping children (who I think some got shipped to north korea) and move Russians into the territories to replace Ukrainians.
Israel always had tensions and responded to Oct 7, they don't deliberately target civilians, Hamas uses human shields, which leads to dead civilians. (Many rouge soldiers who go largely unpunished, but no statewide policy, so no indiscriminate bombing.) No mass graves from street executions, no children kidnapped. Moving Israelis in to replace Palestinians does happen in the west bank, but not Gaza and it's not really state policy, although they really should crack down on that.
Again, the question makes sense, as for what Israels obligation is, but the comparison is very weird. Also I don't know if Palestinians want Israel to help rebuild and as long as Hamas is the Government there, Israel will not send money for rebuilding, only to have Hamas buy weapons with it.
I would also bet that this is not the first issue the journalist had with his employer.
Oh!!! You're a zionist. That makes a lot of sense. Sorry, I kinda forgot people like you still exist on Lemmy, I thought pretty much everyone had accepted Israel is conducting genocide, but I guess there are still genocide deniers among us, unfortunately.
I was low-key expecting you to say that it was uncouth to compare a genocide to a military conflict
Oh sweet summer child. I don't know if you're being ignorant or deliberately a shameless zionist.
Except there is evidence and actual videos of Israeli soldiers doing the very thing you say they aren't doing.
