Newsweek:Russia Warns Israel It Won't Tolerate More Civilian Casualties in Gaza Conflict
2021-05-20
Have they thought about talking to Hamas? Or Iran>
Amid international pressure, Israel has refused to back down from the conflict with Hamas. Meanwhile, Russia has warned the Jewish State of engaging in further violence that costs civilians' lives.

As reported by the Associated Press, as of Wednesday, about 219 Palestinians have been killed in the current fighting, while Israel has seen 12 casualties. The rising number of deaths and injuries have raised calls from around the world for Israel to mount a "proportionate" response to the attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has denied Israel has done anything beyond defending itself and vowed to continue until Hamas is deterred from future violence.

The escalating conflict is of "extreme concern" to the Kremlin, and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov urged Israel to carefully consider the actions they take.

I wish this whole situation wasn't just another rerun.

#4  Ref #1: I'll take "wishful thinking" for $500. Alex.

Vlad could care less about hundreds of miles of caves filled with rotting Paleo corpses, and neither do I.

#3  Hey Putin - Israel has nukes and they know how to use them. I'd keep out of it if you care about what's best for you and yours.

#2  I'll bet many are secretly lauding the actions and simply going through the stupid diplomatic script.

Mistranslation or Newsweek's wishful thinking? (Cause you know, if Russia wanted an excuse for conflict with Israel - they had plenty in Syria)
