  2. Amy understands. She also understands she doesn't want to get canceled. There is certain rhetoric the gestapo like thought police forces on people. Certain lines it forces people to regurgitate no matter how ridiculous. Anyone who thinks we live in a free society hasn't been paying attention.

  3.  @tethergobrrr  Even the south African government officials who fought back against apartheid make arguments how the situation in Palestine falls in line with what apartheid is. Their president and foreign minister have made statements to this effect many times. There are buses in certain areas of that country that Jews can use but Palestinians can't. I can't believe there is still an apartheid state on this planet. Worse than that our government here is making sure it stays that way.

  4. Oddly enough democracy now has been a parrot of all establishment talking points. I find it strange they allowed this guy on the show. Usually they'd be busy trying to help cover something like this up.

  9. @Shaqeliz688, I'm sure claims can fly back and forth of who did what. But lets use a really simple and objective look at the reality of the situation. Armenia invades Nagorno Karabakh in the 1990s: They ethnically cleanse over 800,000 civilians. Azerbaijan reinvades Nagorno Karabakh in 2020: A few dozen civilians die. That right there is a pretty large and factual compare and contrast when looking at the behavior of the two sides in this dispute. Case closed.

  10.  @4leks11  Lots of people questioned him too. The thing is no country was being invaded and no nation was destroyed during his watch. Is that bit was hard to "question."

  11. @Armengrigoryan. Russia stepped in during the 2020 conflict when the Armenian military was surrounded on all sides and about the be massacred. They stopped it and saved Yerevan from the humiliation from Azeri tanks rolling down their streets. If I was Russian I'd be thinking. With friends like Armenia, who needs enemies right? What else did you actually expect from them? To fight a war against Azerbaijan so Armenia could continue to illegally occupy another nations territory? Are you insane?

  13.  @sybo59  You're right, I'm not a fan of the invasion. However your contention that Ukraine was in any way, shape or form free before or after this invasion is simply ignoring all rational reality. Emotions<Facts.

  14. @Owlmirror178. You do realize this recent conflict was spurred on because in the 1990s Armenia invaded it's neighbor's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleansed 800,000 people. All Armenia needs to do is apologize, pay reparations to the surviving family members of those ethnically cleansed and remove it's territorial claims on most of it's neighbors. Not a tall task, essentially things any civilized nation would do. It isn't wise to destabilize an entire region by making territorial claims on 3 of your 4 neighbors.

  15.  @appsreview5698  No, it seems you are. The bible is quite open when it speaks of the Israelites. These people are not Israelites, they're essentially Europeans who happen to have converted to the religion of the Israelites. You seem to have zero idea who these zionists sitting in Israel are. Most of them are Polish, they're not Israelites. Why do you think they all change their names to sound like Israelites. Netanyahu's real last name is Mileosky or something like that. Do your research before spouting insanity. You're doing the devil's work.

  17. @fm8644. When your narrative is that weak, even children and poets become a threat to that narrative. The apartheid state of Israel stands on very fragile pillars.

  18.  @sybo59  Not by much. Especially not by enough to a point you'd call them a "free nation." For example Russia is more free than China. Does that make them a "free nation." Just because your authoritarian regime is a tad bit mor free than another authoritarian regime doesn't mean you're a free nation.

  19.  @sybo59  We were debating the ridiculous talking points of the media constantly calling Ukraine a free nation. I pointed out how false that is and you responded by claiming it's freer than Russia. Almost trying to counter act my statement about how insane it is to claim they are free to western standards.

  22. @Armenianbishop, Interesting how when Armenia illegally invaded it's neighbor's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians in the early 1990s they were making the same exact argument as you. Imagine having some ancient territorial claim on a piece of land and ethnically cleansing nearly a million people based on said insane claim. Have you no shame?

  23. @Johnusselman1364. I doubt there is much of a tinderbox. The conflict is essentially finished. Nor is it the type of conflict which can spread like in Ukraine. This was a simple case of one nation illegally occupying the territory of another and they simply took it back. It is over.

  24.  @alexmichalas2000  Yea because it would be so much better when people who've been kicked out of their homes, their children slaughtered and the remaining survivors stuffed into a modern day concentration camp would simply not be angry and accept their fate no? Fantastic situation I'd imagine. As far as buses, I'd also imagine they're quite mad because in that apartheid state there are a lot of buses in the occupied territories that Jews can use but Arabs cannot. Yea, just maybe after having your daughter killed and then not being able to get on a bus just might mess with someone's head? I love your ideas though, great job. You would have been a perfect person explaining Nat Turners slave uprising in the 1800s. Talking about how things would be so great if those slaves simply never got angry about their situation. Are you serious with all this btw? I hope you're trolling because there aren't many rational human beings who would be saying what you're saying.

  25. More journalists killed in this conflict than all the other conflicts on the planet in the past 10 years combined. More civilians killed in this conflict than every other conflict on the planet since 2020 (including the huge 2 year Ukraine Russia war) More children killed in this conflict than every other conflict on the planet in the past 20 years (in just a few weeks) You literally have a country trying to exterminate a population. Bombing schools, refugee camps, evacuation routes, hospitals and targeting journalists. And all they have to say is "oh this one Hamas guy was hiding there." The level of insanity in all this is really difficult to comprehend. We haven't seen a targeting of women and children like this since WW2. The fall out from this is so much bigger than most people realize. This is the age of social media where the narrative can't be controlled by a few power centers. The entire planet is watching this happen in real time. Most of the planet will isolate Israel. The loss of reputation for America and American diplomacy has taken a hit it won't recover from for another 50 years. Western European nations like France, Germany and England will probably take the hardest long term her. They have no hard power, all their relations and power is based on their soft power. That soft power is now gone, their influence worldwide has taken a hit from which I doubt it will ever recover. This massacre is going to change the way the world works. Nations on the fence are going to move toward the Russia and China axis. All this for what? So Israel could try to drive 2.3 million civilians off a small strip of land called Gaza so they can occupy it and grab the huge natural gas reserves off it's coast that was recently found? It isn't going to work, the people of Gaza aren't going to leave. We're watching a turning point in world history.

  27. Are you referring to the 800,000 civilians Armenia ethnically cleansed when it invaded this region in the 1990s?

  28.  @SouthernSoul-lh4mb  Most of the people who are against sending billions to Israel to wage war were also against sending billions to Ukraine to wage war. Both will end in tragedy with the war in Israel being worse. More children have been killed in Gaza in the past 30 days than all the conflicts on the entire planet since 2020. That includes the huge Ukraine Russia war which has been raging for almost two years.

  31. @Liaavanesyan2561, What you're saying would make total sense if you ignore one huge elephant in the room. The fact Armenia invaded Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory and brutally ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians. News flash, that really isn't a smart or good thing to do. The people you slaughtered might come back one day asking questions. Which just happened.

  32.  @kikiki4032  One of the more interesting things about ethnic cleansing deniers is that they all follow the same guide book. Step one 1. Claim the other side did the same or worse (even if they didn't) What the Armenians are doing here isn't new, every single ethnic cleansing denier in history makes claims like this. Although the fact 800,000 Azeri civilians were ethnically cleansed when Armenia invaded it's neighbor's territory is cleanly swept under the rug.

  33.  @jitulvslife03  Yes except Israel isn't allowing Gaza or any of the other areas Palestinians live to be a "country." Gaza isn't a country, it's a concentration camp run by Israel. Also on the subject of Apartheid you're forgetting the occupied west bank in which they do most certainly have a different set of rules based on your ethnicity. I could make a long list of them but one which is interesting is they have buses in certain areas of the occupied zone which only one ethnic group can get on and the other one is banned from using. Not to mention people from certain ethnicities aren't allowed to travel freely from one town to another without permission from the occupier. South Africa was a textbook case of apartheid and you might want to look at what some of their leaders (who lived through apartheid) say about the apartheid in Palestine. They say it is worse and a more brutal form of apartheid. Your argument is irrational and nowhere near reality. You might as well try to convince people men can get pregnant.

  34. I still can’t believe this is happening. The first time since ww2 the world is seeing a mechanized army going out of its way to slaughter as many civilians as possible. And it is being applauded by cheerleaders in our nation. I don’t think people realize the historical significance of this. This will not be forgotten and our grandchildren will curse us for this

  35.  @nikolaiv1138  You speak of pent up vendettas over centuries and you're right. Especially in this specific conflict, Azerbaijan is probably hot skipping mad that when Armenia had military advantage it brutally ethnically cleansed 800,000 of their civilians not too long ago. Thankfully and surprisingly the Azeris haven't gone full blown vengence mode. In this entire conflict since 2020 only about 2 dozen or so civilians have died in this massive war. So your point of view doesn't really stand up to the reality on the ground. Again thankfully the Azeris haven't behaved like the Armenians did when they had military advantage.

  36. @Qgravy. You thought he was a good guy based on what? He is just a new face to sell the same policy. Bet you felt the same way when Obama for no good reason decided to bomb Libya into the stone age and destroy that country to a point it won't be able to repair itself for decades. And unlike the psychopath Bush, Obama didn't even bother making up lies as to why he is wrecking these poor people. He just did it. Now it's Bidens turn to do what he can to make sure poor and helpless people get wrecked. The fact people don't realize this when voting is insane. I'm no fan of Trump as a person but he is the only president since I've been alive that didn't pick out some random third world country to use as target practice, they usually pick people who can't fight back.

  38.  @Brenzarlo  It will make no difference. The amount of pressure we can put on the ICC will prevent them from doing anything. Which will probably lead to a complete breakdown in the international system with the court losing all legitimacy worldwide. The planet is headed into dangerous waters because of this.

  40.  @justanumber9053  The IDF has probably killed about 10x as many people in Lebanon in the past month. 1 grandma dead and you're freaking out. 10,000 grandmas dead in Gaza and you're like "what ever." Your level of cognitive dissonance is terrifying.

  46. @Sherry Snyder, it mostly started in the 1990s when Armenia invaded Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed 800,000 of their civilians and then occupied a large chunk of their internationally recognized territory for about 30 years. Then Azerbaijan came back in 2020 to ask some questions. And here we are.

  47.  @appsreview5698  Also let me ask you something. Do you believe a mechanized army going out of it's way to murder as many women and children as possible to be a good thing? If so, you need to question if you're really a Christian or not.

  48. "Fears of ethnic cleansing" Armenia invades Azerbaijan, brutally ethnically cleanses 800,000 civilians and mass slaughters entire villages of people in the 1990s. Democracy now: Nothing to see here Azerbaijan reinvades the region and 4 civilians die. Democracy now: Ethnic cleansing Then these types of mainstream news outlets wonder why everyone is calling them fake news. Can you for one, on any topic. Just one topic not push a false narrative. Please, just once give the facts and tell the truth. We're not asking for much. Just once.

  49.  @facehugger3  If you want to see biased reporting go to the mainstream media. What this woman is reporting is being reported by the rest of the world, essentially anyone who isn't part of the western media mainstream media propaganda machine. The jig is up, everyone knows what is going on and what Israel is. You can't put the genie back in the bottle by making false and unfounded claims of bias anymore.

  50. I fail to see how he "made them fear ethnic cleansing." When all his military's actions and all his statements are to the contrary. I do understand the Armenians though. They almost have to assume the Azeris will behave like the Armenians did when they took over the territory in the 2020s and went final solution on 800,000 Azeri civilians. No matter how much evidence points to the fact the Azeris aren't going to do this, the Armenians will simply have to assume everyone will behave like they did. So they left. Hard to make any sort of argument that this is ethnic cleansing.
