The part about the moral case against Russia isn't an opinion. Here's the Financial Times a year ago:
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law. Many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.

That would have been a great article to post here a year ago
The genocide is still ongoing, the article is still relevant.
be honest: would you be complaining if it were wapo or the nyt?
I guess we'll find out when Yogsy posts them some day.
lmao you didn't need to be a coward about it. you coulda just said "no"
Well given that I'm neither American nor particularly aligned to Washington Post (I had to Google "wapo") or the New York Times, it wasn't a particularly interesting question. Having lived by the South China Sea however... yeah it's probably more pertinent to my interests what Yogibear posts about that.
Did you forget your image macro?
if that's what you want so badly then sure, here's one we made just for you 
Much better. Please do stick to the pictogram communication, saves everyone time.
please stick a butcher's cleaver up your ass and twist, thanks
Most of the sources I post are mainstream western publications, but do go on.
I actually sent this article to my representative last year. She responded to it with the most insulting and dehumanizing response imaginable. I thought I had made progress with her in prior visits. I actually started talking to her about Palestine years ago, before COVID I even sent to her office two books one by Jimmy Carter and another by Ilan Pappe.
What do you mean by your representative?
