    Yes I have issue with thr framing Industry standard presented, because it is disingenuous. They imply that nato is arming and equipping Israel. Which it is not. Saying shared training and exercises is “backing” is just as silly as people getting upset that China was doing military excericises with Russia. Also, putting the “entire” onus on nato is also just as ridiculous, as you were so kind to point out that support doesn’t just have to be weapons!

    So, many countries support the genocide. It’s not “nato” only, which is the russian bias industry standard is going for.

    Why not say UN supports the genocide? Nato countries are part of the UN, the un uses nato logistics and equipment. If you see why that is a spurious argument, then you know why it’s just as incorrect to say “nato”. Say something like “most western countries continue to support the ongoing, Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people”.

      Yes industry standard oppose NATO because of russia but didn’t mention the form of backing

      So, many countries support the genocide. It’s not “nato” only

      But this post is about nato and israel not russia . You are simply, doing whataboutism. Now if there is an article about china supporting Palestinians mentioning it’s good relation with Israel it is fair because it is iexposing hypocrisy rather than whataboutism

      Why not say UN supports the genocide?

      Because the Un is multiple entities with different functions none support Israel while nato is a military alliance . Where did the UN approve genocide and israeli military actions?

      Saying shared training and exercises is “backing” is just as silly as people getting upset that China was doing military excericises with Russia.

      No it is not silly

        You are so so close. Genuinely close. It’s hard to see you circling around the answer here. Anyway, look. We both agree that Israel is committing genocide. Let’s leave it there, I wish you all the best. Have a great life.

          Pure projection. It is you who circle around answers using whataboutism . You recognize the genocide yet you minimize nato roles despite all the evidences I provided
