Decades of stressed attempts by journalists to highlight plight in Palestine means people are inevitably aware that Palestinians might actually be people after all.
Absolutely zero coverage of the ethnic Russians/Russophones in Ukraine being discriminated against / outright murdered means nobody realises there was even a reason the Russo-Ukrainian war started and so are left to conclude Putin is INSANE.
Is there anyplace I can read more about what had been going in Donbas prior to the 2022 invasion? Ive heard accounts in both hexbear and lemmygrad of discrimination and possibly genocide against ethnic russians in the reigon but havent found any sources (although I havent looked too hard)

Here’s a quick little montage of war footage from pre-2022 in Donbas. These are civilian cities being bombed and having white phosphorous indiscriminately rained down upon them. 14,000 dead over 8 years.
