You cover a lot of points, but I do expect people to stand by the truth even if it means you have to acknowledge your country's wrong doing, since it is the only hope for change. As far as Ukraine is concerned I see it within a historical context. During the Clinton years, where he ignored what we promised Gorbachev, no more NATO countries, Billy boy adds three, and it went on like that until there were 30. Obama supports a coup backed by Fascists and Nazis, and Yanukovych has to high tail it out of there to Russia. If you listened to Nuland's phone call she's deciding who is best to take his place, like we own it. Our support was extremely provocative, not to mention the thousands of Ukrainians in the Donbass that have been killed in the last seven years  by Ukraine's military and her Azov Battalion (Nazi's). We ignore the Minsk accords, and spend four years trying to remove Trump from office on the lie of Russia-gate. They vilify him for wanting to get along with Russia, and slam his meeting with Putin. We're good, they're bad, or who cares, will get us into a nuclear war, and a direction we seem to be heading. I take in all the facts and come to an opinion. We have to give up our agenda of world wide hegemony. We are using Ukraine as we used Afghanistan and the  lives of the Mujahideen who fought our war and died to bring Russia down. Morality guides my political positions, and for me things are not so black and white, nor do I take the position it is what it is, and you seem to have that attitude which implies no change for the better should be expected. Getting back to Israel, the Palestinians who reside in Israel are segregated in specific neighborhoods and constitute only 20 percent of the population. So much for their political parties and the influence they have on Israeli politics. To deny the reality of what has, and is going on in Israel in regard to the Palestinians may be more harmful to it's people in the long run as well. Lies always make things worse.
