The Mockingbird Media doesn't cover the other side of the story:


For example, Christian Russians were killed by the millions and millions in Khazaria (part of which is now Ukraine).

It eventually lead to WWI, WWII, and the reason why Israel the State exists (check Lord Balfour).

A good place to start is the Bolshevik Revolution but can go back to the old Khazaria to find millions of more deaths.


The Mockingbird Media are enemies to Christians so they make it look lopsided.

I certainly do not see the Russia / Ukraine war as "religious," whatever gave you that idea?


the war in Gaza is not a religious war - not for Israel anyway - although it is for the Hamas

there are some Israeli Jews that hate Muslims - but far from all and hating Muslims because of their religion is not what caused the Israelis to go to war

Israel has normalized relations with Egypt and Saudi Arabia both of which are predominantly Muslim countries

Israel does not have problems with many Muslim countries in the Middle East

Israel recently interceded with weapons in Syria near their border to protect Druze citizens who live in both Syria and Israel

the Druze are not Jews - or Muslims for that matter - their religion is unique, it is often described as mystical

I think it's practically a grudge war at this point. I'd be surprised if there aren't a certain number of them just think of revenge for the last people killed on one side or the other.

Now now, don't pooh-pooh the usefulness of AI.

Google is getting much better but yeah, it still gets some stuff wrong...but not much.

Too bad PotPie didn't google the religious makeup of Ukraine: I did after reading his post and responded accordingly, having had no clue one way or the other before googling the issue.

Both Russia and Ukraine are predominantly Orthodox Christian countries.

of course, I knew the religious makeup of Ukraine - I prolly should have included it in my OP

correct - it's not a religious war

it's Christians slaughtering other Christians

they are targeting each other of the (mostly) same religion -

that does not let them off the hook

again, my point - Jews are being slandered using their war actions as a pretext - a very transparent rationalization -

but Christians aren't

that is not a random thing - there are well known reasons for that

What most people don't realize is that although the majority of Israel is Jewish, they overwhelmingly dislike Netanyahu. He is nt representative of the country.

there are a great no. of Jews inside Israel and out who can't stand Netanyahu and are critical of Israel's war actions

my personal feeling - I'm very unhappy with the Israeli war effort but I also believe they felt they had no other choice

Hamas deliberately embeds themselves with the rest of the population - and Israel rightly feels if Hamas is not completely destroyed they will terrorize Israel again and again

criticism of Israel is legitimate - but criticism of Israel is often used as a smokescreen - as a way to begin the conversation and then steer it towards slandering Jews which is the ultimate goal of some of the most vocal

I don't care much about getting traction
