And then people wonder why I find the West so full of shit and have no respect for them!
False dichotomy. Some of us condemn both. There is no contradiction involved.
What is wrong with you? Twelve innocent people were slaughtered by psychopaths and France is in mourning today. Show some respect, or just shut up.
You mean the same respect that you showed those Gaza children at the time; when all you seemed to care about was whether or not Erdogan had farted and in which direction it went?
I see no contradiction in condemning Israel's crimes against humanity in Palestine, Putin and Erdoğan's increasingly authoritarian rule and fanatic Islamist extremism and the latest outrage committed in Paris by the latter. I express my support for and solidarity with the people of Palestine, Russia, Turkey and France. But, on this day of mourning, my thoughts go in particular to the people of France.
Putin is allowed Tim because he is against the USA, for the moment, until they need some US dollars and investment to kick start their economy again.
