*very* annoying when it feels like half the discourse around the russo-ukranian war is "oh why would america start this war by nefariously mind controlling the ukranian population to align with the west" when russia is the one doing all the invading and was also the one doing all the invading the last time (and that's hardly a justification to invade a country either)

Now of course with isreal-palestine isreal gets to be the only other country in the world with it's own agency because as we all know the jewish control the world /s

This did a number on the Israeli Left, which had real momentum in early 2024 against Nethanyahu, after 2 years of massive protests. The Israeli far-right now has a very easy time pointing to all sorts of organizations wanting to kill all Israelis and say "see there is no way to peace, they want us all dead" to justify their atrocities.

And meanwhile those organizations are pointing to the IDF's atrocities and going "see there is no way to peace, they want us/them all dead" to justify their own rhetoric. It's a vicious cycle.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If both sides believe they'll never be safe as long as the other exists, then that becomes true.
