    Thing also is that those people were also hated during thier time and also called terrorists. There’s no good options for a leader sadly.

      I was alive when Nelson Mandela was active, and he wasn’t called a terrorist in the west.

      He was revered as a hero by many in the West, just like Navalny is revered today.

        So were the IRA…

        And yet now here we are with Sinn Fein holding elected positions.

        At some point there has to be dialogue otherwise you just keep killing one another.

        As opposed to the IDF that’s been terrorizing Palestinians constantly?

        It’s terrorists in both sides. Unfortunately civilians are the ones caught in the crossfire.

        As opposed to the resistants (including many Jews) during WW2 who were literally called terrorists by Nazis ?
