Not to banalize ukraine civilians casualities and Putin crimes but firstly no Russian officials used genocidal statements and secondly gaza casuality in 3 months is more than the double of ukraine casualities in almost 2 years.
Also we don’t know how bad the civilian casualties are in Crimea and other occupied cities like Mariupol, other than being catastrophically bad based on satellite pictures of mass burial sites.
Russian officials have frequently stated things like Ukrainian does not exist, it’s a fake ethnicity, and that they’re all Russian. They’ve spoken about how they wish to destroy this non-existent culture as well.
Secondly, they are literally committing genocide and the ICC has a warrant out on Putin for genocide.
So, a couple of things… first… removed under rule 3. But also… he’s not entirely wrong if you look at the number of civilians killed. In Ukraine about 10,000 confirmed killed compared to 22,000 and counting in Gaza.
Where he’s off base is that there are 11,000 missing in Ukraine as well. It’s a much, much bigger territory, we won’t know the full accounting in Ukraine, if we ever will.
As to Russia and genocide, saying a culture doesn’t exist and they’re “really” Russian is totally different from Israel’s attitude to Palestinians.
If you looked at the modlog you’d see that while the comments were removed, nobody was banned.
Rule 6 states:
“No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning”
Nothing in my comments were “hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence or abusive language.”

Experts disagree on the genocide claim WRT Ukraine:

False.

I’m not sure what the topic is, but there are also a ton of missing (usually buried under rubble) people in Gaza.
Seems like you removed it because you disagreed.
The removed comments weren’t just disagreeing, they were personal attacks.
I guess I misunderstood and I respect your decision.
When in doubt, you can always view the modlog. It will show you the full comment and the stated reasons for removal:

This is all public info, just be aware that a lot of the removed comments are pretty terrible. ;)
Looked in the modlog. Doesn’t seem like that violated rule 3.
Seems like you violated rule 6. Gonna ban yourself?Edit: crossed out the bit where I was wrong, but left it for context
