Israel v Hamas

The amount you talk about other posters is really, really weird - very lonely, insecure vibes.

Am I supposed to start a thread about every atrocity in the world before I'm allowed to comment on others? Sudan is indeed one of many humanitarian catastrophe that deserves more attention; that doesn't make criticism of Israeli atrocities any less valid, nor does it make me personally responsible for ensuring every conflict gets equal airtime on a politics forum.

It's also just really obvious why Israel gets more attention in Britain than Sudan; Israel is a close ally of Britain and the US, receives Western military and diplomatic support, and has a direct relationship with our own foreign policy. Clearly what Israel does and how our government responds is far more relevant to British politics than what Sudan does.

We also don't have swathes of our media and political class who have spent years lying and distorting the facts to justify Sudanese war crimes, as they have with with Israel. A thread on Sudanese war crimes I'd presume would be unanimous condemnation of the atrocities... somehow when it comes to Israeli war crimes, that's not the case.

Israel gets more news coverage then Africa because people will rage watch Israel news coverage while Africans killing Africans doesn't move the needle in regards to viewers.

Western countries aren't providing support in Sudan because both sides of the conflict are awful people and there is no win in it for any Western nation. Western Nations have woken up to the reality that not all places want them and that they don't need to solve everyone else's problems, especially when those nations will hate them for doing so.

The issue with Israeli condemnation is that it has existed since they become a nation and well before they took control of Gaza. Because decades have passed where they were accused of things that they didn't do, the crying wolf made it so that when the Israelis actually did do naughty things, it was washed out so people didn't care anymore. It is very much like Trump, people just get bored with accusations and hearing about them so that they just tune it out to them eventually.

The UNSC passed Resolution 1593 two decades ago, which gave the ICC the authorization to look into Sudanese war crimes. The UNSC has not done so for Israel, so the ICC doesn't have the authority to go after them which is why the US has since smacked the ICC in the peepee.

I think Israel gets more coverage for the reasons I mentioned.

I don't agree with your 'crying wolf' analogy neither in terms of Israel nor Trump - both Israel and Trump's popularity have dropped considerably in recent years, so people certainly do seem to care.

Of course there are supporters of all causes who are not receptive to any criticism or new information, but on average, both Israel and Trump are considerably less popular than they have been.

Its what he said though, you don't give a s*** about it, you aren't interested, and the millions of genocide anti Jew obsessed virtue signalling lefties like you aren't clicking those articles. Because of that they sink in coverage. But as you've lectured us before, is a life a life because of geography?

Btw, Iran are fingers deep in Sudan, as are their pals in Pakistan, just as they are with the Gazans. But who cares? It wasn't a Jew bomb was it.

And I've explained why there is less interest in more 'foreign' atrocities around the world - we can debate the rights and wrongs of that reality if you want, or you can just pretend it's because everyone hates Jews.

“Generational moment” as government acts on landmark antisemitism review

New training, guidance and practical resources will give teachers and leaders the confidence to identify, challenge and prevent antisemitism wherever it occurs.
www.gov.uk www.gov.uk

"A government commissioned independent review into antisemitism in schools and colleges has been published today and has found that antisemitism is a significant and growing challenge for the education sector, with Jewish pupils, students and staff experiencing antisemitic abuse, harassment and discrimination in schools and colleges"

Are you implying the jew haters are less interested when the deaths are not caused by the IDF, well shame on you.
