Hard to disagree with that unless you're a delusional piece of shit

    The US is complicit. Why are so many of our politicians puppets for Netanyahu. Could also explain why many don't want the Epstein files released.

    I wish I knew. I wish there was some kind of leak that would explain it. I always assumed it was some stupid CIA shit that says we have to have "presence" in the middle east no matter what, even if we have to support a very obvious genocide. Or a more general explanation like the sickest motherfucking psychos have control of the world.

    "Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security."

    ~Alexander Haig

    There's your explanation, no secret CIA shit needed. Our economy runs on oil and the Middle East got it.

    Also no secret, AIPAC has bought our entire political structure. Hell, they don't even need to spend, just scream "anti-Semite" at anyone screaming "genocide!".

    And it is amazing how many pieces of shit are out there. Shane on all the governments just going along with it.

    The way everyone is going on about punching Nazis in the face, you would think that it's start catching on with people denying this tragedy.

    I genuinely don't see Gaza war worse than Ukraine war. The difference in deaths and destruction isn't 50%, it's closer to 1000%, so in comparison gaza war is relatively tiny and local conflict.

    I see one place as fighting and winning and the other place as just getting wiped out. You figure it out.

    I'm not looking at imaginary borders but global damage caused by the war. It's not some sides, it's over million injured or dead and far more than that displaced, while also causing global economic problems. Gaza war is just not on that level and I feel like it's getting extra attention only because of Jews as other conflicts are mostly overlooked

    So far. Humanity still has lots of 21st century to ruin after all, and that's not even counting the planetary climate disaster.

    Not to argue semantics, but the genocide didn't start this century.

    The worst crime of the 21st century .. so far!

    ( I wish I was joking, but no: the accelerationists, far-right, etc, have MUCH worse plans for our world's next few years.


    Trump wasn't kidding about wanting to possess both Greenland ( which he can use to seal-off all Atlantic trade with Canada, using Alaska to seal-off all Pacific trade with Canada, & then butcher us from mainland US, until only our corpses are in his way of total-continental-"kingdom" ) & Canada,

    & in a few more years, his alliance with Putin, to butcher all the "woke" countries ( see the other article in this forum on their working to replace all the civil-rights leaders in Europe with far-right supremacist-types: https://lemmy.world/post/33478737 ) will be blatent, instead of hidden ( the temporary-difficulties between them are only temporary, & Musk's actively toggling Ukraine's internet to help Russia ( https://lemmy.world/post/33459082 ) is just a little of the evidence showing the real-truth, as The Kremlin Papers that The Guardian reported-on a few years ago, are, too ).

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/16/first-thing-what-the-kremlin-papers-said-about-trump

    ( keep in mind that The Guardian changed-ownership, & let-go many of their journalists, so it's possibly just a holding-company, now, riding on the pre-established brand,

    AND I've seen screencaps showing its prejudice'd "journalism" protecting Israel's genociding, compared with its coverage of Ukraine, so it isn't the "Truth 1st" kind of Journalism this world needs, but .. neither is anybody else, now, from what I've seen.

    Sucks, that..

    Read "The Elements of Journalism", for a taste of what true Journalism is supposed to mean..

    We NEED true-Journalism's return to this planet, this-year! )

    This is simply objectively false. For example, ten times as many people died in the Syrian civil war.

    "There is no prior experience in my five decades of humanitarian experience that can come close to comparison to the horror we are all seeing in Gaza."

    This year is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cambodian genocide. The Rawandan genocide was 31 years ago. This guy is either deliberately lying or an idiot.

    For example, ten times as name people died in the Syrian civil war.

    The Syrian civil war wasn't one crime; it was a war by multiple actors none particularly committed to human rights. Also Syria's population is more than ten times that of Gaza.

    The person in the OP is talking about their experience in the 50 years part, so it's entirely possible they simply weren't involved in aid during or after the Rwandan genocide.

    This year is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cambodian genocide.

    The Gaza genocide is, in fact, keeping pace with or beating the Cambodian genocide in terms of percentage of population killed per unit time; it's just that most of them are via malnutrition, disease or outright starvation and therefore not counted in official statistics. In Gaza the deaths are also only the most extreme effect of Israeli crimes; there's also the widespread (read: near-universal) starvation and disease, and the ridiculous number of injuries. Also Israeli crimes against children trump anything the Khmer Rouge did in that department, so I'm gonna agree with the OP on this one.

    The Syrian Civil War is/was not a crime in itself.

    50 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)
    31 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)

    There are 75 years left in the 21st century (2001-2100).

    the 20th century

    Yes, that's why I quoted the part where he also says it's the worst in the last 50 years.

    Fair. But to be *more *fair, he did qualify "that he'd seen", which is less a statement of level of atrocity mathematically, and more the fact that Israel's crimes are being publicly and globally televised in real time, day by day. This is being done brazenly in the open and they aren't even trying to hide it. In that respect, with such global attention and even support for these crimes, it is unprecedented in all of human history - not just the last 50 years.

    ten times as many people died in the Syrian civil war.

    We're far too early in either Holocaust to officially tally the dead. The current counts in both countries are conservative.

    This guy is either deliberately lying or an idiot.

    This seems like you've got a weird bone to pick with a guy reporting on an industrial scale genocide of 1.4M people.

    Another of user ArbitrayValues comments right here from another thread, arguing that its ok for the catholic church to keep pedo priests confessions of their crimes secret:

    The issue here is that Catholic priests have a religious obligation not to report crimes they find out about in certain specific circumstances, and this law would prevent them from fulfilling that obligation

    So no, I dont think your opinions about genocide matter much, buddy. You always seem to pick the wrong side where religions are concerned.
