When you set up the false premise that Russia would have had to have planned this long ago, as opposed to the stultifyingly obvious possibility that they are simply stoking and taking advantage of a decades-long situation, then of course this seems like tinfoil hat territory.

But if you do choose to occupy the same reality as the rest of us (even just for a few brief moments) wherein Israel and Palestine have been at odds since Israel was dropped in Palestine, and wherein Russia has a long history (like most other superpowers, my home country included) of meddling in the affairs of other countries to their own strategic advantage, then, well, this all seems pretty straightforward.

But you aren't engaging with my actual words before lazily dismissing me as "terminally online" (whatever you think that means), and I'm not sure you're even reading them. Case in point - you are reacting as if I'm calling you pedestrian, when I'm clearly calling the concept of one nation meddling in the affairs of another nation almost pedestrian.

But I'm done wasting words on someone who doesn't know what to do with them - or who intentionally misuses them. Good night.

Hey pal, if you spoke to me in real life the way you speak to people online, I’d slap the shit out of you.

No comment on the topic of your conversations but you’re sure a smarmy little fucker. Stop that shit. The internet’s already chalked full of dick heads.

Prove to us that you learned something from that book.

In your own words, what is it about the demographics of Israel or the history of Russian aid to Palestine, that would alter people’s opinions in this context if they knew it?
