I don’t know man, never heard about Finnish people decimating a population, starving kids, subverting countries, toppling governments... I’ve been in Finland last year and they’re so nice.

  • You mean in recent history? Because Finns were nazi allies during WWII and participated in Siege of Leningrad starving hundreds of thousands to death. They also organized network of concentration camps during the war.

    • Yikes, it's a bad look for israel to be doing the same thing again now, after everything the world has been through.

  • Maybe not to that level, but the Sámi people have faced their share of hardships.

    • > Must be nice to live in a country where your neighbors don't blame you for killing Jesus and want to exterminate you.

      Says a country that's been credibly accused of trying to exterminate its neighbors you mean?

      The absolute lack of self-reflection that is on display here is something else.

    • Not to get into an argument, but most of the population in the Middle East are Muslim who don't give two shits who killed Jesus because they don't believe he was killed to begin with.

    • Israel is committing a genocide. This is undisputed at good point.

      The way I’m reading your comment is justifying that the genocide is necessary for Israel’s survival.

      If that is where the pendulum is today, there’s no discussion to be had.

None of those groups funnel millions of dollars into American congress men and congress women’s pockets.

You are being disingenuous.

  • Nearly half a billion dollars in annual lobbying is attributable to oil money. It's okay for OPEC's foreign interests in your book, but you're focused on the tiny impact that Israel has.

    Saudi money good, Israeli money bad? What's up with that?
