Does Russia Get A Pass Too (Mehdi Hasan)

"Does Russia Get a Pass Too? On a side note: now that Russia has been hit by a brutal terrorist attack, do Western governments support Vladimir Putin’s right to flatten entire towns and cities, as well as refugee camps, schools, and hospitals, in the name of self-defense? Will they be endorsing the Russian leader’s use of starvation as a weapon of war in order to defeat the terrorists? Does Moscow get to block foreign reporters and undermine UN investigators with the full blessing of Washington and London? Or do we in the West only give that pass to Benjamin Netanyahu? #justasking" (Mehdi’s Monday Memo on Russia, Israel, and the response to terrorism)
Is sauce for the dame also sauce for the gander?

I happen to think that MEHDI HASAN is one of the better journalists. I may not always agree with his opinions and conclusions, but I have yet to find a lie or a false flag in his work.

His question about a free pass for Russia certainly raises the question 'why does Israel get a free pass', for me. I hope it does for you too.
