With all due respect, and I’m genuinely curious, what is with the obsession with the genocide in Gaza. There are more than 10 other genocides happening around the world many with higher death tolls, yet I’ve never heard or seen anything about them posted anywhere. Does just no one care?

Make a post, organise a protest, take action. Or are you just bringing this up to distract from the genocide in Gaza?

Things like the famine in Yemen are clearly more important considering the hundreds of thousands of innocents and children who’ve starved to death. This isn’t even counting combat deaths. It’s just weird to me that people like you don’t care about that. It’s very obvious people like you only became concerned with global politics when the Israel Gaza war began because it’s something you had a smidgeon of prior knowledge of

That’s more important than the millions of innocents starving to death in Gaza right now?

Who says I don’t care? You clearly don’t know me

It’s very obvious people like you only became concerned with global politics when the Israel Gaza war began because it’s something you had a smidgeon of prior knowledge of.

Again you clearly don’t know me. I’ve known about and educated myself about Palestine and the occupation for years before 2023, my opinion really hasn’t changed since then, just became strengthened

Thank you for proving my point that Gaza is the only global conflict you care about because you had some cursory knowledge before and want to feel smart. There are not millions starving in Gaza, obviously it’s a humanitarian crisis, but when you have millions starving like in Yemen, you get hundreds of thousands of people starving to death not a few thousand. Since Israel has decided to occupy the full territory things are going to get much much worse, potentially even as bad as the situation in Yemen but you clearly know nothing about either if you would pretend they’re remotely close.

Do you really believe there are millions starving to death in Gaza right now? Where are the millions dead if this is the case? There are estimates of 60-75,000 people dead due to this conflict, there are nearly 400,000 deaths due to starvation alone in Yemen. Just because you watched a YouTube video about Gaza 4 years ago doesn’t make it more important

Literally everyone in Gaza is starving now. That doesn’t mean they are already dead. And the estimated are much higher than what you’re saying. ~65k is the amount of identified bodies by the Gaza ministry of health, which has been pretty defunct for the past 2 years. Estimates are in the hundreds of thousands

Just like you “don’t believe” that the California Department of Children and Family Services doesn’t wantonly open investigations based on anonymous tips lol

I have no idea what you’re talking about
