In a strange shift, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted as saying that Israel’s war on Gaza is identical to Moscow’s military operation against Ukraine.

The comments, attributed to Russia’s top diplomat, were cited by Russia Today in an interview on Thursday with RIA Novosti.

“The goals declared by Israel for its ongoing operation against Hamas militants in Gaza seem nearly identical to those put forward by Moscow in its campaign against the Ukrainian government,” RT quoted Lavrov as saying.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 21,320 Palestinians have been killed, and 55,603 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.

Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

Many international law experts have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.

    I don’t really like podcasts; I find it hard to catch everything they’re saying, or alternatively to listen through the parts where they’re not saying much. You’re better off citing Das Kapital like the other “anti-imperialists”. It’s barely readable but at least I can pull a quote without playing scribe.

      Blowback is a highly produced audio miniseries. It’s a fundamentally different experience than an improvised free wheeling podcast. Listen to it before you make excuses for your miseducation.
