I explained the lie quite clearly above. Israel is going well beyond reasonable obligations to reduce civilian casualties, even losing hundreds of soldiers in the process. They didn't need to lose those soldiers, and you lying about why they died dishonors their sacrifices.
HRF is platforming Navalny-supporting Russians, and supporting ineffective causes that distract from real solutions. There's a good reason all the Ukrainians I've talked to about this are furious (I found out because a Ukrainian I know forwarded it to me). Humanitarian campaigns to "keep power on" are deflecting from the real issue: Russia needs to be militarily defeated. That means killing Russians in enormous numbers.
The Navalny crowd are anti-Putin. They are very much not anti-war. Quite the opposite: they're campaigning to get corruption out of Russia, which makes Russia a more effective imperialist fighting force. Putin is just a symptom of the underlying problem: Russian imperialism. That's much more than Putin and the truth is there is no meaningful opposition within Russia to it. Support to Navalny should be sanctioned just as much as support for Putin, as Navalny being successful would make Russia even more dangerous. It's a good thing that Russia is corrupt: it's made them a much less effective fighting force. Thank God.
If you were actually serious about peace rather than just grifting, you'd be supporting efforts to do things like get more drones to Ukraine to kill Russians and end this war, permanently. You're not.
This is exactly why in Ukraine itself people rarely fundraise for humanitarian supplies. They fundraise for drones and other military supplies to kill Russians.
