It’s not, that’s the point. People are made believe that they are equivalent
pity you weren’t born several decades ago, I think your life’s calling would have been defending the nazis at Nuremburg. that’s the same argument they used to try to absolve themselves of personal responsibility for their war crimes.
The crimes the nazis committed are on a bit of different level than those committed by Russian soldiers, so please don’t relativize them.
To follow along with the point, I have on multiple occasions heard the sentenment expressed, most recently in a well known podcast(I can look for it if you want to), that World War II soldiers that killed German civilians aren’t that bad because the Germans were nazis. Ukraine government/military/parts of the population being nazis is common in Russian propaganda. Don’t you think those people could be convinced that it’s okay to kill Ukrainian civilians?
Many of the international courts do like to overlook war crimes committed by the “good guys”, also legality≠morality
In general I think there has been a miscommunication. Do I think that people committing war crimes, under any whatever circumstance, have done nothing wrong? No. But if you look at the laws, there are circumstances were a crime is viewed specially. For example were I live if you get drunk and kill someone you will not be punished for murder, but for not being able to now your limits with alcohol. Or if someone puts a gun to your head and tells you to kill someone you will not be considered guilty in the way a murderer would.
To get to the IDF soldiers, no I don’t think the propaganda excuses rape, they have done something wrong. However I don’t think they are inherently evil people that deserve to die or should be permanently excluded from society. I don’t think there lives should be considered expendable or worth less
And it this point we’re back to what I said, neither of us is a psychology expert that can on a scientifical level make claims about if people are born in a way, or raised or whatever, that’s why this is mostly pointless.
