| Cobretti2 said: Because of the optics of singling out the protests and history of countries being against Jews trying to wipe them out. Atm there is genocide in Ukraine, Sudan, Christians in Nigeria, Hazara Shias in Afghanistan, North Korea, Minorities in Myanmar, Uyghur in China, Ethiopia, Congo etc. Yet no protests for these? They don't exist because no one seems to care (hence why I said hypocrisy is human's greatest weakness in another post), but when Israel does it, it is wrong and protests break out all over the world? This is why the optics look bad, when you single out one genocide, especially against a race that was on the receiving end on genocide recently in our history. |
The difference is, USA and Europe are not backing the genocide in Ukraine, Sudan etc.
USA and Europe are not defending the genocide in Ukraine, Sudan, etc.
USA is not using there veto power to protect the one carrying out the genocide.
USA is not sending 27 billion extra to Russia to carry on killing Ukrainians.
There is no destruction of international law to defend the genocides in Ukraine, Sudan, etc.
And more importantly, there are no daily images of children getting blown up and pulled out from under the rubble of houses bombed with US ammunition.
It's also the intensity, never before has a situation deteriorated so fast with so many deaths and destruction.

The Israeli army has killed 42,510 Palestinians over the course of its 200-day attack, 38,621 of whom were civilians, including 10,091 women and 15,780 children. The bodies of several thousand are still stuck under the rubble, while thousands remain missing and are presumed dead. These statistics include the killing of 137 journalists, 356 medical personnel, and 42 civil defense personnel.
And since you call those other conflicts genocide, how is Gaza not a genocide?
Gaza exposed the West for its hypocrisy and double standards. You can condemn the other genocides, but not the one carried out by Israel and the USA.
