“Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered. But never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport.”

Yes it is horrible and whatever atrocities that Russia is committing in Ukraine is a small subset of what is being committed by Israel.
If Russia had more control over the region or if Putin had as much lobbying power as the state of Israel, I am sure he would not shy of genocide as well. But that does not change the facts.
