Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

    But you said that about a 2020 article talking about a genocide that started in 2017…

    Is three years not enough time for details to become clear?

    If that’s true, today is 11/6, about a month after 10/7, why do you already have such solid opinions on that?

        …

        Which is what the government commiting the genocide said…

        But that’s not the point. The point is the reason it’s a genocide, is the same thing Israel is doing.

        Are you trying to make the case that no one should believe Israels initial claim that everyone they kill is justified by terrorism? Because that’s where your logic is going, but that’s the opposite position you’ve had this entire thread.

          That was the first report, it was wrong, as always. It’s clear the attacks on the population were targeted to wipe them out. No one is arguing that.

          Now can you prove Israel is doing that, because multiple reports have shown evidence that it isn’t. They do desire to relocate the entire population, but not wipe them out. Both sides of this conflict are in the wrong but both sides have been fighting the same conflict for thousands of years. There is absolutely no reason both groups couldn’t live together in harmony if the populations wanted it to.

            You’ve literally admitted that they’re using “forced relocation” by making the area unsafe for civilians which is what also got your first example of a genocide, designated a genocide…

            Now you’re saying they’re not?

            Can you not name a single difference between the two genocides and why that makes only one a genocide?

            Without repeating that you never believe initial reports while at the same time repeating Israels initial reports as gospel?

                  You trying to lead them by the nose to a sane position/definition for genocide, and them just being intentionally obtuse, basically saying “nu-uh” over and over…

                  Painful to read. Kinda frustrating to see a moderator behave that way. I appreciate your effort though.
