Massive Genocide happening now in Sudan, but no university protests. Why not?

It was literally on the frontpage of the BBC site when it started.

But there are many conflicts that have been ongoing in the last, say, 5 years that don't get much media attention in terms of frontpage. Are you suggesting that this particular conflict should be frontpage of every major media outlet every day?

What on earth are you on about?

The Ukraine-Russia war is still frontpage on many news outlets.

>Thats what happens when you vote democrat and for Biden. Maybe you should rethink your ideology in 2024.

Are you genuinely claiming that if Trump was in office, the Sudanese conflict would be frontpage news across the media?

The American people have a right to object to how our taxes are being spent!!!!

>>>Sudan sounds like a civil war between to factions WITHOUT U.S. support.<<<

For the most part it is, but not in Syria and Yemen, those are US backed wars that are causing what the left considers to be "genocide" and displacement like in Gaza. Where is the outcry, exactly? I mean, other than a few protests we've seen in foreign nations, I see nothing.

Again, we don't hear much about the conflicts going on in other parts of the world which are in no short supply, but we know why Gaza is getting so much attention. Ummm.. yeah, Jews... umm, yep. Here are 10 other conflicts that are going on and/or could become pretty hot this year and with some backing of the US...

What's happening in Israel is just antisemitism. No one is "really" this angry over this conflict, which has been going on for more than 80 years. This is just Jew hatred and college campus brainwashing and nothing more. Protestors don't even know what they're protesting. There is no free speech in Gaza, there is no women's rights in Gaza, there are gay rights in Gaza, there are no political parties in Gaza other than one, Hamas, they don't welcome thoughts and opinions that vary in Gaza.

I know, I know, you're going to come back and say "but Israel" and leave it at that. It's time to set aside what "Isreal" does and realize Hamas is in no position to dictate what happens in that part of the world. Israel controls that land and that's all there is to it. They fought in 5 major wars to gain that land. It's over, it's time for permanent peace.

Keelai,

You keep saying that Israel is committing genocide but you never explain your basis for that. It wasn't genocide when the North killed at least a quarter million Southern whites during the Civil War. It wasn't genocide when the Allies killed 300,000-600,000 civilians in Germany and 300,000-900,000 civilians in Japan by bombing during World War II. How is it suddenly genocide now that Israel has killed just a small fraction of that? Can you actually explain your math and logic behind your claim of genocide?

Pointing out that America doesn't support either side in the war in Sudan makes it sound like you don't care what the hell happens as long as it doesn't involve America. You believe genocide only really matters if America is involved. Anything and everything bad that happens in the rest of the world is okay with you as long as America isn't involved. Genocide by itself isn't a big deal to you.

I cant wait for Kelce to get his own breakup song.

Don’t blame the entire USA for their actions. That is a DS conflict.

FootOfDavros,

Despite what you say, I as well as others have continued to defend Israel's war against Hamas on its merits. The fact of the matter is you don't know of any other way to destroy Hamas. The reality of defeating a terrorist group entrenched in a crowded urban area is very ugly:

Did you know that the number of bombs Israel has dropped in Gaza is greater than the number of people killed? How is that possible in a place as crowded as Gaza if Israel is engaged in "indiscriminate slaughter"? It sounds like a very discriminatory bombing campaign to me.

Your argument for why people are protesting against Israel is absurd. It has nothing to do with a belief that Israel is supposed to be an actual, real, functioning democracy. You obscure the fact that the shrillest, angriest protestors are opposed to Israel's very existence. Those protestors at universities that xanthas is talking about are opposed to Israel's very existence. Their opposition to Israel is purely a matter of identity politics. That's why they're not protesting against what's happening in Sudan. There's no identity politics angle for them to be upset over. You forget that the very weekend of the Hamas attack that these protestors were celebrating the attack. People who really cared about democracy would NOT celebrate a huge terrorist attack. The people who actually do believe that Israel is a real, functioning democracy have been much more measured in their response to Israel's actions.

You make it sound like you don't really believe in human rights. For you, human rights only really matter in "actual real, functioning democratic" countries. You don't believe dictatorships have any obligation to respect human rights. If you were around during World War II you would be claiming that it didn't matter what Germany and Japan did because they were dictatorships. You would only be complaining about what the U.S. and U.K. did in World War II because they were supposed to be "actual real, functioning democratic" countries.
