Not the only way... Maybe we should do something about the "invisible hand" constantly giving us the middle finger

20 years ago it was Bush and the Cheneys that were so bad we would have been told to vote for anyone running Blue.

Can't wait to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2048 based on the idea that they'll only conscript first-born children into mandatory asteroid farming and have Barron Trump's enforcement over Megahitler.

focus on profits rather than human well-being, period, is destroying the world

You've missed a key part of my point, though. If that Russian was shouting "say Ukraine again! I'll kill you!" at people associated with an aid group, would you assume he's an anti-imperialist Russian good guy or would you assume he's fully bought in to nationalism and aggression towards his perceived enemy?

Israeli soldiers are an oppressed class

In these kinds of situations it's important to remember Netenyahu's razor. The most israeli-defending explanation is often the correct one

You don't have to prove anything to me but I hope you reflect on whether you'd be playing such Devil's advocate for another person on another topic. A Russian being aggressive to people collecting aid for Ukraine maybe?

You can say what you want to me, but really ask yourself.

watch the video with sound. The most likely explanation is they said "we're raising money to support child welfare in Palestine" or something similar containing the word "Palestine" and this brainwashed troll got triggered by their recognition of Palestinian children as human.

Netenyahu's razor: when confronted with multiple explanations choose the one that supports the Israeli position

guy is literally shouting "say Palestine again!" the whole time.

you can turn your brain off if you want. Somehow I don't think you'd do the same if this was a Muslim attacking an Israeli organization

It's absolutely demonstrative of a bias and that's confirmed by previous comments the poster has made. Throwaway references to how it's bad that Palestinians are dying too don't do a good enough job of masking it.

If we want to uphold the principle of international diplomacy and the summit represents a huge bloc of the world's population then yes he really should. If Israel is hosting an event for dozens of countries he should. He's not just visiting his buddy Putin or Netenyahu. He's the main diplomat of the UN.
