Even more interestingly: the Russians aren’t full-blown racist towards the Ukranians - they even try to force to Ukranians in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine to become Russian nationals whilst Israel does the opposite.

The Israelis are so racist towards Arabs in general that they created a Citizenship separate from Nationality, made Citizenship be tied to religion/etny (i.e. Israeli Jew Citizenship, Israeli Arab Citizenship) and moved rights from Nationality to Citizenship, making some Citizenships (Israeli Jew) have more rights that other citizenships (Israeli Arab, who for example can be kicked out of their homes, as done frequently in Old Jerusalem).

I mean, imagine the level of racism that takes to change the basic concepts of citizenship and nationality (which are tied together everywhere else) in your country, to by law and at the most essential level create an underclass of citizens with fewer right and do so along etnic and religious lines.

It’s not by chance people say Israel is an Appartheid state but nobody says that about Russia.

The thick racism that’s superimposed on the calous disregard for the lives of the civilians of the “other” side (the “clous disregard for human life” being a feature of both Israeli and Russian behaviour in these wars) probably makes the whole Israeli Occupation generate way more hate than what the Russians are doing.

I meant they weren’t gunning down Russian kids at music festivals prior to the invasion. In other words, they weren’t committing acts of terrorism prior to the war.

Which is why I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.
