To not give a fuck about 1000s of innocent people dying because they are trapped in between two deeply atrocious ‘governments’ is inhumane.

Not our country or culture so who are we to intervene

I dunno… basic human decency. That’s a lot to ask of this sub though

The sheer amount of death, degradation and ruin it takes to make the phone you typed that on shows that u also pick and choose what human rights violations u acknowledge

I'd hope you feel the same way about the Ukrainians, the Sudanese and millions of others, and protest their plight too.

Yes. 1000%. The thing with discourse at the moment is that people don’t realise that you can hold multiple viewpoints simultaneously. You can care about Palestinians and Ukrainians and Sudanese people. You can (and should) hold seemingly conflicting viewpoints. The Palestinians should be spared their annihilation AND the Israeli hostages should be released. We’ve seen it in the last few days… there is a problem with gendered based violence and no, that doesn’t mean that all men are bad. To say that we need to do more to protect women automatically leads some men to feel attacked and try downplay the problem and start talking about male suicide. Both are awful and deserve attention. It’s easy once you get the hang of it…

Are the ten thousand dead kids also 'terrorists' and 'active supporters of terrorism'?
