Oh so it’s only an important issue for you when it’s convenient, huh? Where’s your genocide comments about Ukraine? What’s happening there is also a genocide, yet the only comments I hear from your ilk is about the Middle East.
The situations in Palestine and Ukraine are markedly different.
Ukraine has received immense support from Western nations since the start of the Russian invasion, i.e., in support of the defense of Ukraine. The democractic party has been in power since the beginning of that conflict as well.
Western nations have been giving support to the standing army of the defending nation, who are facing a professional army.
Palestine has been under seige from the beneficiary of Western support, i.e., in support of the offense of Palestine.
Western nations have given support to the standing army of the offensive nation, who are facing an insurgency who lack the personnel, training, and support systems of a modern professional army.
The civilian death counts in Palestine have been staggering. Over 44,000 civilians have been killed in Palestine in a little over a year. In Ukraine, over 11,000 civillians have been killed, despite the Russian invasion occuring in February of 2022, 2 years and 9 months ago.
The distinctions between the two situations are apparent, which is why people are being more vocal about Palestine.
I would say nothing about either of the conflicts has been convenient for most people, but both matters are important, albeit for different reasons.
Also, on a personal note, ilk? I didn’t realize we were in the Hog’s Head.
Also the democratic party has been in power, enabling the genocide for over a year.
That genocide has been going on for more than an adminstration though.
So we’re supporting an ongoing genocide because… the sunk cost fallacy?
Oof.
No, the US is supporting the genocide to continue the instability of the middle east to easily get resources out of it.
Are you gonna act like our continued reliance on fossil fuels isn’t also largely due to the sunk cost fallacy?
I don’t understand your question.
