Being fired for it is obviously not the correct response, but also Israel is not in Europe. I'm not sure the European Commission is the right group to ask about that.

You mean the Imperialist fascist EU did a fascist move? I am SHOCKED I tell you!
Get ready for the downvotes, European liberals fucking hate being confronted with reality. They love complaining about Trump, but nicht mein Europa!!
Not sure what you are smoking. Fascist Magastan is fucked, and von der Leyen & buddies are evil pieces of shit - I know no one who doesn't vote conservative or (blue) Nazis who has a problem admitting that.
I'm not smoking anything sadly -- I ran out of weed last week.
Any time I point out that MAGA is not a uniquely American issue and that Europe is also descending into the grips of fascism, I always get a bunch of downvotes. Especially on communities like !europe@feddit.org
I think it's just wishful thinking and denialism from people who probably are insulated from the societal collapse that many of us are seeing - basically, moderately wealthy european liberals, centrists and conservatives.
Europe is also descending into the grips of fascism,
Absolutely. :( And it is mostly the centrist / conservative parties embracing facist policies, while most of the conversative voters are morons pretending they are still voting for a legitimate party.
I always get a bunch of downvotes. Especially on communities like !europe@feddit.org
My experience - formerly from reddit - and here is that "europe" channels are the European version of MAGA idiots. Those could be wholesome places, but instead they are infested with morons and trolls. I suspect in part because trolls that do not speak any (other) European language can blend right in with English trolling.
I'm going to wager that you've never lived in any EU countries, or spent significant time in any of them
I'll take that wager! I was born and raised in the EU and I've travelled extensively all over Europe. I actually only ever left Europe once, when I visited NYC when I was a teenager.
What do I win? I'm guessing you're relatively wealthy, so a cash prize would be much appreciated! Happy to work out the details over DMs ;p
Oh, so you just regurgitate Russian propaganda out of your own free will?
You should ask to get paid.
What out of what he said do you think is Russian propaganda? I am genuinely curious.
I'm guessing something along the lines of Russia justifying the invasion of Ukraine by claiming that it was ruled by fascists and that their special military operation was to liberate the people of Ukraine by bombing their hospitals and schools
Nothing. Typical shift in rhetoric because their original attempt at discrediting them with a personal attack on their credibility failed miserably, so they had to pull out their trump card which lets them continue to ignore the argument through another ad hominem attack.

I mean, that comparison was unwarranted and unwanted by the agency he worked for. Calling this "actual journalism" in the title is misleading. You can ask that question without equating Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine that way.
You're right, Israel-Palestine cannot be equated to the Russian invasion of Ukraine because the former is a genocide whereas the latter isn't. This makes the comparison even more relevant though: "if you call for war reparations here arguing from international law, how are you not calling for even more reparations there from genocide under international law?"
