The Ukraine Hostilities

The double standard in media coverage of the Gaza war and the Ukraine conflict is telling. The US-backed gang that calls itself a "government" in Kiev has used bombing and heavy weapons without advance warning to indiscriminately kill women and children in the restive areas near Russia. World bodies like the UN that rush to castigate Israel for its much more careful campaign in Gaza are not condemning the Kiev cabal for "disproportionate" use of force. International media is not keeping a running tally of ethnic Russian civilians blown apart by Kiev's shells, rockets, and bombs the way we hear constantly about Israeli-inflicted carnage on Arab non-combatants. There are no marches demanding that ethnic Russians be freed from Ukrainian oppression as we see marches around the world demanding a "free Palestine". These facts lead me to conclude that the world does not love ethnic Russians but really hates Jews.
