Uh huh. So why THIS specific conflict? I never saw this much rage and posting and commentary for other issues of suffering like the Uyhgurs or however it’s spelled. And this isn’t what about ism. We could bring up what’s gone on with South Sudan for a long time as well. Or we can bring up significant local issues for various commenters.
It sure seems people at large cared about Ukraine because they’re mostly Caucasian and feel like a “western” country. People mostly care about this Israel Hamas issue it seems for religious reasons or to take a political stance (which is indirectly deeply rooted in religion).
I have empathy and sympathy for many things that dont directly impact me. I don’t have to for literally everything. Not being sure if I care about THIS conflict, or being skeptical at the extreme coverage it gets, doesn’t mean I’m devoid of give a shit.
This specific conflict because it’s about a colonized people liberating themselves from a highly geo-strategically important fascist regime. This conflict isn’t about religion. It’s about colonialism. I’m agnostic and many Palestinians are Jewish or Christian. Most of the Zionists are secular and don’t even care about the Torah, they just want to colonize. There are also many Jews who oppose “Israel.” I care about this conflict because “Israel is doing collective punishment by indescriminately killing civilians and the fall of this apartheid entity would be a major blow to the US empire.
Imagine not understanding suffering that isn’t directly impacting your life to such a degree.
