Top level summary is that Russia’s killings are indiscriminate of who’s who in Eastern Ukraine, and they are abducting children for the purposes of russification, which are both internationally recognized as acts of genocide.
What is happening in Palestine is genocide on a larger scale with Israel having far less resistance stopping them from indiscriminate killings. We do not need to use one genocide’s scale to de-legitimize claims that another genocide is also a genocide. Genocide in Palestine, Sudan, and Ukraine also do not make the United States actions throughout Latin America over the course of the last 50 years not genocide.
What is happening in the world is happening everywhere. Our best chance at bringing these things to an end is to act against our oppressors everywhere we are and to not try to create false dichotomies. The more acts of oppression you tolerate, the more tolerant you become of oppression until eventually there is no hope of freedom anywhere. We will not be free until every genocide everywhere is brought to a stop and every authority held accountable for its role in this global system of atrocity.
