Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says victory in Gaza will mean the enclave being "entirely destroyed," Palestinians leaving for other countries.
? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?
Palestine is a notable one because it’s perpetrated by our “ally” and it’s also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don’t say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.
I’ve seen a lot of mentions of other genocides on my instance, but what’s notable about the Palestinian genocide is that the US and the western world is directly involved in it.
Typically when I see this complaint it’s paired with a general vibe of wanting to deflect attention away from western atrocities. Not that I know enough to accuse you of that, but still.
Jesus christ. Maybe i don’t care about Ukrainians or Europeans because they were mean to me once? If you think the genocide in Gaza doesn’t 100% have the risk of spreading through the Middle east and into Europe, too, I don’t think you’re worth the time. And anyway, those weren’t the genocides I was referring to.
Feels a little like you just don’t like Arabs or Muslims.
Dude. I can name from memory the list of war crimes and genocidal acts that Russia has done, they’re on a speed run in their aggressive war of conquest. Bucha, Mariupol, perferdy, executing PoWs, torture, the kidnapped children being raised as Russian, deliberate bombing of civilians, Russification of the Donbas, chemical weapons use, the list goes on.
But the severity is not the same. Gazans can’t seek safety in western Ukraine, they have no missile defenses, they’re being deliberately starved to death as collective punishment, and are being kept inside a war zone by complete military encirclement and occupation.
…
Dodged right around the mass graves?
The kidnapped children?
The destruction of culture through russification?
I don’t quite understand your argument here, all of those crimes fall under the umbrella term of genocide as well.
Yet the only ‘genocide’ lemmy will talk about is palestine.
The thread’s about netanyahu’s genocide, so his supporters are trying to deflect.

So:
Maybe I should, I just only met a few and they all seemed like dicks, plus this was kind of kicked off by Oct 7.
When Europe got unpeaceful in the past bad shit happened, I don’t want more bad shit.
Lol, well, uh… then fuck you?

That’s a lot of words for you to say your sympathy is contingent on skin color.
