The fundamental difference between Hamas and Russia?

Both view terrorism as virtue. Both use terrorism as a military strategy. Both engage in horrific war crimes. Both are political organizations. Both deny the cultural identity of a people and territorial integrity of a sovereign nation. Both have engaged in mass rapes, executions of civilians, tortures, kidnapping, beheadings, murder of children and invasion. Both engage in disinformation campaigns to cover their tracks and shift blame.

What then is the fundamental difference between these terrorist organizations?

The answer is scale.

Russia has committed similar forms of terrorism against Ukrainians at a scale exponentially greater than Hamas has committed against Israel.

October 7 will go down in history as the greatest evil since WWII against the Jewish people. But every day in Ukraine is October 7, or a potential October 7, as Russians continue to kidnap and abuse children, use civilians for target practice, torture innocents, destroy the infrastructure, occupy land which is not theirs, and use terror as a military and political tool. There were more atrocities committed in the City of Bucha alone, than in Israel on October 7. But Bucha is one of thousands of incidents of Russian atrocities and terror.

And here is the point: If you correctly have compassion for the Israeli victims of Hamas, but little for the Ukrainian victims of Vladimir Putin, your compassion is worth very little. In the end, you are not really opposed to terrorism.

Know that the Marxist Leninist trained KGB agent for the Soviet Union sitting in power at the Kremlin, likely the wealthiest man in the world, smiles as he repeatedly welcomes leaders of Hamas to Moscow this year and last, knowing that Lenin’s “useful idiots” are alive and well in the United States.

Today we mourn again with the children of Israel. Please mourn also for the free people of Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is a clear cut, “good vs evil” war, as was WWII.
Which, coincidentally, the Kremlin also started. Europe has woken up to the threat-as has the majority of Congress.
But much of the American people do not yet realize the full threat of the Russian barbarism or the aggressor nature that Putin has created in Russia after being in power as a totalitarian ruler for 25 years.
We should never negotiate. No negotiation.
Russia has to lose. Badly. Give Ukraine all she needs asap.
That is leadership. Europe, against all odds, has woken up to this reality.
The U.S. has done an incredible job, but until there is victory, it is never enough.
From the same Kremlin culture that brought us World War II. And the Katyn Forest massacre by the Russians of 40,000 Poles.
This is the same Kremlin culture. It isn’t just Putin. The entire Russian military is involved in this institutionalized war crime.
Now they are consistently targeting children’s hospitals.
Russia is a sick culture.

See Doug Livermore’s post below.

🇺🇦 In a heart-wrenching display of Russia’s disregard for human life and international law, a recent strike targeted the center for social and psychological rehabilitation of children and an orphanage in Sumy, Ukraine. This illegal and immoral attack on innocent children and vulnerable populations highlights the brutality of Russia’s unprovoked invasion. The international community must not turn a blind eye to these atrocities; they are crimes against humanity that demand justice. Ukraine’s children deserve to grow up in peace, free from the terror of Russian aggression.

💪 In stark contrast, Ukraine has shown remarkable restraint and precision in its military efforts, focusing solely on legitimate Russian military and economic targets. From successful strikes on ammunition depots to the degradation of critical infrastructure supporting the Russian war machine, Ukraine has adhered to the laws of armed conflict. It’s clear that Ukraine fights not only for its own survival but for the principles of justice and humanity. Now, more than ever, the world must rally to support Ukraine, apply maximum pressure on Russia to end this senseless war, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous war crimes are held accountable.
