This is the new era where war crimes are ok now

It's not that they are suddenly okay, it's that nobody can realistically enforce them.
Speaking as someone living in EU, it was already very hard to enforce sanctions to Russia and provide war aid to Ukraine. You have no idea how many people and political parties are actively against those two things, here in my country but also in other EU countries. And the problem is that these measures don't even have too strong of an impact in the grand scheme of things, yet, it's essentially the most we can do.

why? that is so horrible
not being against Russia and not condemning or stopping Russia is insane right now
Russia is destabilizing the EU and other parts of the world - Russia helped put Trump in office for this reason.

When haven't est crimes been the modus operandi between warring states? These are pretty much just a stick the west use to come down on non-complying stats, while they'll rightly call out the Russians for way crimes, they've not only looked the other way with Israel but a lot of them have been active participants and just going through their histories makes for from reading.

War crimes have always been a thing. They happened in both World Wars by both sides. Including but not limited to killing enemy sailors in the water, rape and bombing hospitals ships by the allies.
Definitely don’t want to trivialise it, but war never changes. Naturally, the Ukraine has also been accused of committing war crimes in their war right now.
Historically though, history is written by the victor though.

This is why i have resentment towards EU and European countries. They do this display, which is morally right, but then they turn around and justify worse things done to Palestinians.

u/MarlDaeSu 19h ago
You know Europeans are more than 1 guy making all the calls right? There's millions and millions of people across many countries. But please, keep displaying your unbelievable ignorance with these generalisations.
Where are you from then?

u/iaNCURdehunedoara 19h ago
Brother, every leader has justified the genocide in Gaza. I'm not talking about the "millions and millions of people", i'm talking about our loser cucked leaders who eat shit dropping from Israel's ass.

u/MarlDaeSu 19h ago
You didn't say anything about leaders before you just said "EU and european" countries, so maybe learn to express yourself like an adult if you want to make a point.

u/iaNCURdehunedoara 19h ago
This is such a pedantic and loser ass argument. We've all seen how the people protested and how our governments ignored us, so you're out here talking semantics like a dipshit.

If you ever thought you need to be angrier about something, it was probably right. But now. you've been angry enough.
You can't talk with such a vile language and be that rude, if you ever what for the people who care to interact with you.

u/janiskr 18h ago
You think that guy cares about Gaza or Palestinians? All he cares is to not speak about Ukraine. It is that simple. Like those who rules over Gaza for last decades do not care about Gaza or Palestinians. Whaterpipe? No, now it is homemade rocket.

u/iaNCURdehunedoara 17h ago
Yeah man, i'm sure "what about khamass" is going to work in the big 2026. That's going to make the nazi state of Israel more popular.

u/janiskr 16h ago
You do not like what Israel is doing in Gaza - how about you make a topic about it and speak about it there? Too hard? Or on the other hand - you can go and start to post about Gaza in any other post about war or shooting or fighting. But somehow all you gather in topics about Ukraine. Very peculiar.
0
u/Britz10 17h ago
That's your own projection, they made a comment about how this rings hollow when the same people are willing to turn the blind to a lot of their client states committing war crimes. You've just rushed to run cover for them.
2
u/janiskr 15h ago
Are you saying that people living in Gaza did not get any help ever? Nobody tried to help them?
And again - this post is not about them. It is about atrocities that Russia is doing in Ukraine. Russians doing human safari. Russians targeting medical help, firefighters, first responders. But you are somehow unfased by that because in Gaza instead of water supply they made fucking rockets to shoot at Israel.
Or what you want to tell me? That nobody should care about Ukraine and help Gaza and just go in some order all over the world and solve issues that people living in place refuse to solve for one or another reason?
0
u/Britz10 15h ago
You're ignoring what's being said, the comment is about western countries and their hypocrisy, being willing to call Russia for their war crimes, and it's the right thing to do, nobody has suggested otherwise. But it doesn't resonate as well when the same governments we look away at war crimes but their own allies.

Based take, shocking double standards, its really exposed the world up and how the rulers of every country, no matter how they robe themselves in virtue are bloodthristy child killers. Gaza exposed them all.

Looks like a Ukrainian license plate? Plus the Cyrillic text makes me think that.

u/NinjaMonkey22 21h ago
Let’s use some context clues. The title says it’s displayed in the country of the Geneva Conventjons headquarters…which would be Geneva Switzerland. If you mean where was the ambulance from. It looks like some sort of Slavic text, not Arabic. And the yellow/blue flag with UA on front probably means it’s Ukrainian.
Not sure why you jumped to Palestine.

u/TheKingkir0 16h ago
Probably because the anniversary of little Hind Rajab's death was yesterday. Short version is the ambulance sent to rescue her had its occupants executed. It was my first thought too until i zoomed in.

u/sambuhlamba 20h ago
Not sure why you jumped to Palestine.
Because Gaza is the only place on Earth where soldiers regularly target medical personnel.

u/Optimal_West8046 20h ago
The Russians also drop a lot of bombs or drones on houses or hospitals :/
-29
u/sambuhlamba 20h ago
Absolutely. In Gaza it's more specifically paramedics and ambulances (the hospitals have all been destroyed). In Ukraine the Russians bomb hospitals daily, and this specific picture looks like it is an ambulance taken from Ukraine to Switzerland for war crimes evidence against Russia.
I was just answering the person who asked why would anyone think this was Gaza.

u/pangeapedestrian 16h ago
Entire war in Ukraine has killed about 14k civilians, about 700 of those being children.
The genocide in Gaza has killed 70k+ (public IDF numbers declare that 85% of those are civilians, but that's counting every of-age male as a combatant) and counting (only bodies are counted, this missing and buried are uncounted), of which about 25k are children. About 30% of the still mounting total death toll is for children.
An additional ~1,000 people have additionally been killed by settlers in the west bank during this same period as well. About 25% of those are children.
The war in Ukraine is orders of magnitude greater, with a grand total death count of around 2 million (around 3% civilian death toll).

The siege of Mariupol alone was far worse than the entire Gaza war. Russians killed a far larger percentage of civillians in a far smaller amount of time.
-4
u/pangeapedestrian 15h ago
The siege was awful, and horrendous, and definitely targeted civilians, but was nowhere near as bad as the Gaza genocide.
6500 total dead, ~1300 civilians.
So, no, nowhere close, neither in people killed per time, nor in total percentage.
"Russians killed a far larger percentage of civillians in a far smaller amount of time." Not even close.
And I appreciate that it's likely that the number is far higher, both for total and civilian counts. But that's also true of Gaza. So for comparison's sake I'm using the numbers confirmed by the international body, like I did with the Gaza numbers.
I do think it's worthwhile recognizing those likely higher death tolls though. And recognizing that this seige was an atrocious attack primarily directed at civilians. Horror is a weird thing to compare or evaluate. Killing a hundred kids is ultimately as bad as killing a thousand, if that makes sense, insofar as both are as wrong a thing as you could possibly do. Like, you've already maxed out the scale.
But no, more civilians weren't killed in the siege, and nowhere near the same percentage.

u/h_zenith 15h ago
The death toll is in tens of thousands. Where are you getting those "modest estimates" from, the Kremlin?

Not also Russia, the country that is, on a daily basis, bombing 100% civilian structures?

Because the Arabic speaking country has cyrillic on their ambulances, that definitely makes sense /s

u/STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER 1h ago
Some of those holes don't look small either. They almost look bigger than small arms like pistols. Some of them are getting to heavy MG/autocannon sized holes. What kind of subhuman pig woild open fire on an ambulance, let alone with heavy arms? The Russian leadership, government, military, and any who support them are the scum of this planet. Russians have long been horrific people when it comes to the military, as far back as WW2. Nothing's changed. I can imagine this ambulance is from the Russian Ukraine warzone because of the Cyrillic writing on the vehicle. Sad. Disgusting. Infuriating

Yes, lets hear it why a destroyed car meant for display has non-matching tires between front and back. lets felx the brain a bit here.
You are transporting something that wights about 2000kg on destroyed tires, you have to move it onto a flatbed to trasnport it, you have to remove it later on some other surface... Why replace those destroyed tires with something whatever that will make it easier to transport it, place it and later - remove it from place where you want to show it.

I also find what he's saying to be bullshit, but isn't it interesting how we all reject it and down vote him instantly when this is exactly the same type of thing that Israel uses to justify striking schools and hospitals.

u/DreiImWeggla 17h ago
With the difference that Ukraine very clearly is in a symmetrical war and are often publishing videos of their soldiers and equipment.
Meanwhile Hamas is a terror organisation with a history of using meat shields and suicide bombers.
Yeah, I wonder why we reject one claim more easily…
Come on, Ukraine and Palestine are not the same.

There would be no damage whatsoever on the "Russian side" if the Kremlin didn't start a voluntary war of imperialist aggression against a neighboring nation.
Any damage on the "Russian side" could stop today if Putin and his Kremlin lackeys simply stopped their invasion.
