I'm sure those comments justify all that happened to him and discredit everything he subsequently did... /s
Outside the haze of political motives and propaganda, we can see clearly that one person being bad does not imply that their enemies are good. But this is curiously hard to understand on this topic.
Russia is so far gone that even the opponents of the current leaders in Russia are crazy by western standards.
The same is true for the critics of the Ukrainan invasion. They dont want it to stop, they want to attack Ukraine even harder.
This is all well and good, but somehow fascist Israeli leadership (not just Netanyahu but even Israeli "opposition") are totally fine according to "western standards" and receive western weapons and diplomatic support.
(And by western standards I do not mean US standards. By western standards the genocide that Israel is committing is also horrid.)
I've had this conversation many times, it doesn't lead to anything. If Hamas is bad, then anything that Isreal does in order to eliminate Hamas, has to be good. If Russia is bad, than anything that Ukraine does, has to be good. If Putin is bad, than Nawalny has to be good. If Erdoğan is bad, than İmamoğlu has to be good.
This is obviously just as true vice versa, so it's not like the "other side" is any more reasonable to have a discussion with.
Religious affiliation, as opposed to race or nationality, is a conscious and deliberate choice. If you choose to hitch a ride on a hateful, nihilistic, fatalistic, genocidal, and invariably uncompromising ideology that insists on complete supremacy and subjugation of non-believers, then don’t be surprised when those non-believers, in a tit for tat common sense sort of way, say untoward things about you.
