If it's true that most people on both the left and right only know one half of the story regarding war crimes in Palestine and Ukraine, most of them have been lured into this "bipolar ignorance" by a venal bipartisan circus committed to maximizing profits from ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, and genocide, i.e., capitalism.
MARCH 22, 2024Free Gaza and Free the Donbas Too!
BY NICKY REID
"Palestine and the Donbas are both ethnically diverse but culturally distinct regions that have found themselves gift-wrapped and handed over to nations that they never asked to be a part of in the first place.
"Palestine had long been a barely governed patch of desert on the outskirts of the Ottoman Empire before the British and the Americans stole it and arbitrarily proclaimed it to be a homeland for European migrants.
"Similarly, the Donbas had been a region of Russia going back to the 1700s before the Bolsheviks made a unilateral decision to make it a part of their new Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1922 only to have Ukraine take it with them when they unilaterally left the Soviet Union in 1992.
"While both Gaza and the Donbas have also had their movements for autonomy largely hijacked by imbeciles and monsters, none of that changes the fact that these are both illegally occupied territories fighting for popular autonomy and the crimes of Hamas and Putin do nothing to sanctify the barbarism that America and its heavily armed proxies have reigned down upon their heads."
