Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we’ve seen widespread rejection of things politically or culturally related to Russia. Also some pretty aggressive language when referring to Russians in general. When it comes to Israel, even the slightest criticism of the Israeli state is decried as antisemitism.

The double standards are insane, and western governments are massive hypocrites when it comes to Russia and Israel. There’s no doubt that countries outside of the North American and European bubble can see this hypocrisy. We have no moral high ground.

The hypocrisy is that Israeli citizens can vote to stop the genocide, Russian citizens cannot.
