🇪🇺😈 WESTERN DOUBLE STANDARD EXPOSED: Ben-Gvir's Genocide Talk is "Normal," Putin's is the "Real Scandal" An EU official downplayed Israel's National Security Minister calling for 30-40 Palestinian deaths a day as "election talk." Meanwhile, Russia's narrative of fighting Nazism in Ukraine is treated as the world's greatest sin. 🔴 What this Think BRICS analysis exposes: 🗣️ Ben-Gvir's "30 to 40 a day" call – a direct appeal to kill Palestinians – was dismissed by EU official Hildegard Bentele as "normal" because Israel is in an election campaign. 🇷🇺 Russia's "Nazism" narrative – Lavrov stated that accepting Western peace plans would be a betrayal of the 40 million Soviet citizens who died defeating Hitler. 🧠 The double standard is glaring – one leader's genocidal rhetoric is "election talk." Another's defence of historical memory is "propaganda." 👉 Read the full analysis: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/30-to-40-a-day-when-ben-gvirs-words #BenGvir #DoubleStandards #EU #Russia #Iran #BRICS

🇬🇳 30 killed as massive landfill collapses in Guinea. A towering mountain of rubbish collapsed in Conakry after heavy overnight rain, burying homes and people beneath tonnes of waste and mud.
