My question was directed at this statement:
It’s frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it’s not too late to do something about it.
I’m implying that the powerful do nothing to help the Palestinians because they have nothing to gain out of it. Just like all the other countries with starving people and wars going on that don’t get much coverage. They will suffer and die because the powerful people have decided they are not worth saving.
Just to play devil’s advocate, how does helping benefit the powerful people?
I don’t disagree, everyone will take care of their own, but if China wants to be a true world power, it can’t just focus inward and ignore everyone else.
Biden fucked it up.
Does China care about anyone else other than themselves?
Bolsonaro has the Epstein client list.
You’re absolutely right, crimes of this scale almost defy comprehension, and trying to weigh them feels both necessary and impossible. It’s horrific to realize this is all happening in real time, in front of us yet, as unthinkable as Gaza is, it’s tragically not isolated. Places like Sudan and Mali etc are also facing famine and conflict, often unfold off the front page. It’s overwhelming, but I believe that bearing witness, and refusing to look away even when our understanding falls short, is still essential.
It would definitely be up there if the numbers were number of deaths to population ratio.
It’s like watching someone getting beaten with a baseball bat in public, in full view of everyone … and everyone gave that someone a spiked baseball bat
Just made a slight correction there.
If no one is in charge then he’s in charge.
I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.

This conversation has gone sideways really fast. I’m confused.
Now he just needs Putin and Ramzan to nominate him.
Ben-Gvir has been convicted eight times for offenses that include racism and supporting a terrorist organization. The army banned him from compulsory military service when he was a teen, deeming his views too extreme.
But it’s ok to be Minister of National Security…
Lasting and stable peace “that only Russia” can provide.
Then we’d be talking about “How Did Obesity Get So Much Worse in Gaza?”

Trying to imagine them asking this of Russia.
It matters. He needs a new supplier after his buddy offed himself.
