Do you not see the article you are commenting on? The state of Israel is being accused with evidence ofsimilar crimes on a scale an order of magnitude larger. I just can't stand the hypocrisy....

I just looked it up and on Oct 6th Israeli 'Settlers' murdered 19-year-old college student named Labib Mohammed Dumaidi. The state of Israel later teargassed his funeral.... Perfect example of needed context if you are truly trying to understand Oct 7th

Something tells me in that future he would never be allowed to leave Russia. His entire value to the Russian government is to prove to Russians that the US is also repressive. If the US magically stopped being repressive enough to hail snowden as a hero, he would suddenly turn into a liability for Russia: proof that a repressive government can be changed by ordinary people fighting back. A very dangerous thought for any authoritarian government to allow unchecked, Russia and US alike

Not true. Bezos could have purchase air defense munitions for his data centers. There is also the argument that this strike is the result of Bezos financially supporting Trump's second term and that without his support Trump's war would never have started
