Its not ilegal in russia. Legality is not a real property of things its the opinion of the guy with the biggest army in the area. Thinking otherwise is
No, annexation is illegal under the UN charter, of which Russia is a signatory, and wars of aggression are criminal in and of themselves. I'll condemn the illegal annexations performed by Israel and other states, and Russia's annexations fall under the same boat.
To be even more clear, I do think that Russia would have won fair referendums in Donetsk, Luhansk and certainly Crimea. I doubt that would have been the case for the other two oblasts. Still, all of those annexations were illegal. Just because the neo-cons have flouted the UN charter in favor of the ad hoc "rules-based order" doesn't mean others should.
It's always funny seeing people post that image without the context that Palestine declared war on Israel alongside all its neighbours and attempted to push the Israeli population into the sea.
The correct response to a settler colonial ethnostate being founded in your region by Britain is to try to destroy it.
Which excuses attempted genocide?
Ending the existence of an illegitimate country built on stolen land has nothing to do with genocide. You're doing the fascist ethnostate thing where you act like a state and its people are the same thing. States come and go, people remain, the ending of a state has nothing to do with harming people.
The Palestinians have the stated goal of murdering the Israeli people as well as ending the Israeli state
Ending the Israeli state is not ending the people. Fuck off. 21% of the "Israeli people" are arab you fucking racist shit, but you're not including them when you say "Israeli" are you? No.
I absolutely will not apologise for calling you racist. Whether you know this fact and are saying this shit knowingly or whether you're just utterly oblivious to what the conditions are in Israel doesn't matter. Oblivious racism is still racism.
i wouldnt call it an attempt, Israel is sure as hell succeeding in killing and displacing a lot of Palestinian civilians and also running the world's largest open air prison
