War in Ukraine, savagery in Gaza/ Who is killing children?

Pars Today- The Israeli occupying army on Saturday attacked al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis which led to the martyrdom and injury of more than 400 Palestinians.

The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are two events with a lot of ups and downs. According to Pars Today, users on cyberspace, after the beginning of the Israeli crimes in Gaza and the cruel carnage of the Palestinian people, have compared this war to the Russian special operation in Ukraine in many cases.

The starting point of the Russian special operation in Ukraine was the effort of the NATO member states to annex Ukraine to this alliance; an issue which took place against the agreement of Russia and Europe and set the ground for Russian military operation in Ukraine.

As for the Ukrainian war, only a part of this land- less than 20 percent- has been involved in the war, while Israel has caused the entire Palestine to enter an unequal war for several decades.

A user, by the name of Pouyan, wrote on X social network,

"Russia never fights like Israel. Ukraine, too, has never been under siege like Gaza. If NATO and the West had not supported Vladimir Zelenski like that, the he had fled on the first day of the war. Comparing these two is not right. Rather compare how many members of the family of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas political bureau, have been martyred and how many members of Zelenski family have died."

What is quite clear is that the dead of the war in Ukraine have mostly been military, while, according to the statistics of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza, the attacks of the Zionist regime since October 7, 2023, have resulted in 38,443 martyrs and 88,481 injured over 80 percent of whom are women and children.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, says, "During several months of the war in Gaza, civilians, especially women and children have died whose number is much higher than the whole casualties of the entire Russian special operation, and even the past decade and the events after the 2014 coup in Ukraine."

The West, led by the US, is on the one hand supporting Israel in the Gaza war and, on the other hand, makes conditions more complicated in Ukraine with sending arms aids to the country. But, it should be noted that Russia is alone in Ukraine.

Another user on X social network, also, points to the Israeli crimes in Gaza and writes,

"The difference between Russia and the US is that Russia does not kill the innocent, but the US and NATO attack and kill children. The US and Israel commit crimes in Gaza. Russia is sanctioned, but not the fabricated Israel. The US wants to prolong the war and bring about what happened to Russia in Afghanistan."

The Russian defense ministry announces its attacks on military centers with the exact number of casualties, but Israel conceals its crimes in Gaza every time and makes them somehow related to Hamas.

In this regard, a user of X has considered comparison of the two wars a glaring mistake and said,

"How do you put Ukraine and Gaza beside one another? Those who deny the barbaric carnage of the people of Gaza audaciously and claim that the rockets of Hamas have hit hospitals, these very people accuse Russia of attacking hospitals with missiles; and their media have become the defenders of children!!! Is there any credit remained for the West to believe it?"

The horrible narratives of Israel's treatment of the Palestinian captives indicates the magnitude of this regime's criminal behavior. Palestinian captive, Faraj al-Samuni, who has just been released from the Israeli dungeons, says that the tortures applied by the occupiers are not restricted to physical ones, but they torture the prisoners psychologically.

This is while, the American daily, New York Times, quoting a German physician embedded in Ukraine war, wrote a while ago, "The members of "Chosen Company" which is a mercenary Western company combating against Russian in Ukraine, is constantly committing war crimes as it kills injured or captivated Russian military forces."

Key phrases: Russian conduct in Ukraine, Israeli conduct in Gaza, psychological torture of Palestinian captives, Western support for Israel, carnage of civilians in Gaza
