They'll have to come up with a new lie to get this off the news. Maybe the UN Secretary General is Hamas.

(In effect) they were accused of trespassing while standing somewhere they shouldn't be. It's now gone through courts and legally convicted of trespassing.

And Ukraine is not Russia, US isn't Israel. Got a actual point?

Maggoty@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Yeah. If it's not Israeli then we're not interfering in their domestic affairs.

Furthermore who we send our military aid to is nobody's business but our own.
