Liberal hawks like Michael McFaul, Max Boot and Anne Applebaum are quick to denounce Russian aggression but ignore Israeli crimes<\/p>\n
On 7 January, Anne Applebaum, a historian and a staff writer at the Atlantic, retweeted a video<\/a> of Russian missiles striking a Ukrainian hospital. Three days later, former US ambassador Michael McFaul, a Stanford professor and contributing columnist at the Washington Post, approvingly tweeted<\/a> a sign demanding that Vladimir Putin be sent to the Hague. On 15 January, Post columnist Max Boot reminded<\/a> readers that, according to the United Nations, Russia has killed more than 10,000 civilians in Ukraine.<\/p>\n These expressions of outrage were entirely justified. What makes them odd is that more than three months into the war in Gaza, Applebaum has still not acknowledged on X (formerly known as Twitter), where she comments frequently, that Israel has attacked hospitals there. She has not done so despite a Washington Post investigation<\/a> in December that found that Israel has \u201cconducted repeated and widespread airstrikes in proximity to hospitals\u201d, thus contributing to a public health catastrophe in which, according to the World Health Organization<\/a>, only 15 of Gaza\u2019s 36 hospitals remain even partly functional.<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liberal hawks like Michael McFaul, Max Boot and Anne Applebaum are quick to denounce Russian aggression but ignore Israeli crimes On 7 January, Anne Applebaum, a historian and a staff writer at the Atlantic, retweeted a video of Russian missiles striking a Ukrainian hospital.
