This occurred to me while listening to the news. When they exchange people it’s always hostages for people held in Palestine and prisoners for people held in Israel. Why is that? Is it just perception or is there a practical difference?

    That’s great no? People are waking up to the propaganda. Seeing the reality of how our governments spin everything to justify whatever military objective they want to achieve.

    Ukraine? Defending against colonizing oppressors is their plight in any way possible and they are heroes!

    Israel? The colonizing oppressors are now the defenders! Defending against colonization and oppression is wrong and you’re not to allow to kill a single person ever!

      Oh dear.

      Distancing yourself from one propaganda side is all well and fine, but that doesn’t mean the other side is automatically in the right, you know?

      And you are using the other side’s words and narratives, which frankly is their propaganda.
