And today he has been proven right as nations begin to demand Israel pay for their crimes in Palestine: https://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-israel-compensation-school-palestine-destroyed-7022442-Apr2026/
Better than nothing but it seem simply because the organization is using Irish funds, while israel should pay for the destruction of most of Gaza
the problem was that the journalist can't tell the difference between I/P and R/U
might make him a shit journalist
What is the difference?
Not OP, but I is supported by lots of countries directly, whereas R by way fewer?
Just musing, because I don't see much of a difference beside the different levels of disgusting support of oppressors/attackers.
If P falls then I get to the sea. If U falls then R get to P,S,H,R&M
Another factor may be that U is much stronger than P.
If he couldn't tell the difference, he'd have said that Netanyahu tried to take Kyiv or that Zelensky leads the APF. That would be a terrible mistake to make.
He can tell the difference though. When making an analogy, you can ignore some of the differences to make a point about the similarities. And if there are relevant differences, the question he posed will draw those out. It's a good question.
I'm not a journalist nor anywhere near that field, what's I/P and R/U?
edit: Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine?
There is no difference. Israel occupy and colonize palestine, Russia colonize and occupy part of Ukraine.
