Russia backs Hamas terrorists, calls Israel 'occupying power' that 'does not' have right to self-defense

Russia this week declared that Israel has no right to self-defense and labeled its would-be ally an "occupying power" in a move that undermines years of work from Jerusalem to improve its relationship with Moscow.

"The only thing [the West] can muster is continued pronouncements about Israel’s supposed right to self-defense. Although, as an occupying power, it does not have that power," Russian Amb. Vasily Nebenzya said during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly session on the conflict. Nebenzya clarified that Israel can "fight terror," but urged the country to "fight terrorists and not civilians."

Nebenzya also condemned Western "hypocrisy" over Palestinian deaths and compared it to the outcry over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to The Moscow Times.

"In other situations, [Western nations] call for the respect of humanitarian law, set up inquiry commissions and impose sanctions on those who use force as a last resort to stop years of violence," Nebenzya said, but that on the "destruction in Gaza … they play mum."

natural law of self preservation = perfect right of self-defense and perfect duty to defend oneself

Well. Ya gotta give ‘em credit when it's due. Usually they argue with each other all day long on who has the right god on this site. Catholics v Protestants.
When it comes to war, and folks they don't like they can all agree on their righteous god to get to some killing.
Life's hard. Sometimes it's just easier to put it on god.😉

Make war on people, and don’t be surprised if they find ways to make war on you right back

something Russia is learning about now, as its attack on Ukraine enters its 22nd month ...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Israel created Hamas.

[libh8er]

But but… he is a good Christian who is fighting the Globo homo. Surely that has to count for something.

[entropy12]

There was no Israel before 1948.

[canuck_conservative]

Israel created Hamas

let's see your proof of that

[kiryandil]

The Usual Suspects Haz The Ukraine Bluez.

Hurriedly, they clip their little jumper cables from the Israel - Hamas conflict to the moribund Ukraine Project to see if they can jumpstart the dead-in-the-water neocon Death Machine in the Ukraine.

Interesting. Russia has had a relatively Israel-friendly regime since the end of the USSR. Something must have changed recently.

My guess is political pressure from Muslim regions of Russia, rather than a resurgence of "traditional" Russian anti-Semitism.

[cowboyusa]

No, the whole would will be judged. Israel we brought out of it,cand I belive the US will as well.

[TexasFreeper2009]

LMAO

talk about pot calling the kettle black!!!

WTH! Russia is an occupying power that doesn’t have a right to defend itself against Ukraine!

[JonPreston]

to see if they can jumpstart the dead-in-the-water neocon Death Machine

HA! This ^^^^^^ is worth repeating.

[cuban leaf]

Is this where the mentally unstable believe god will shower Russia with fire, killing all?

I don’t know what you mean by mentally unstable. Is there a sect that believes that? And if there is, how are they mentally unstable? Should I be careful if I come across one?

[equaviator]

“Hey hey, ho ho!
Unrealistic expectations
Have got to go!”

That’s what they have- Unrealistic expectations...What else do they have that could be “protested”?...How about their narcissism?...

“Two, Four, Six, Eight!
Narcissism makes you hate!”

How about their self-esteem?

“Three, two, one
One, two, three
Your self-esteem
Don’t mean shit to me!”

Let’s do this thing!

[cport]

Damn, I thought this would be funny. Could have swore that was a Babylon Bee headline...

“Israel created Hamas.”

No, it didn’t.

Hamas evolved independently out of the Muslim Brotherhood as a potential challenge to Yasser Arafat and the PLO, which Israel had designated a terrorist organization. While Israel encouraged a nascent Hamas as a thorn in the side of Arafat and his Fatah Party (i.e., keep your foe at odds with itself and off balance), it did not create Hamas. Subsequent to that encouragement, and Arafat’s death in 2004, Hamas became a more formidable part of the PLO, sharing power with Fatah, but often at odds with it. It was after Arafat’s death in 2004 that Hamas became more aggressive and belligerent, and morphed into the monster it is now known to be.

So, stop making sh!t up.

“There was no Israel before 1948.”

There was no modern nation known as Israel before 1948. And there has NEVER been a nation of Palestine, ever.

[Mark17]

This is how prophesy gets fulfilled.

Ezekiel 38, 39?

[baclava]

What a moron, the only occupation going on is rapists, murderers and terrorists as the entire Gaza population.

All Jew haters, who doesn’t know this?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Israel did, '06. They created Hamas as a foil and pretense so they can seize Gaza and the West Bank later, which they are in the process of doing now.

How paragliders evaded the world's most secure nation, I don't know.

Anyway, go take your meds and change your colostomy bag.
