Heartbreaking. Right to left: Sergeant Yosef Dassa – Staff Sergeant Chalachew Shimon Demalash – Sergeant Ermiyas Mekuriyaw. Three brothers-in-arms who fell in the war in Gaza. May their memory be a blessing forever🕯️

Honest question: The Western attention dedicated to the Palestinian plight is unique vs other conflicts (Xinjiang, Houthis, South Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan…). Why? What makes it unique? The most Arabs / Muslims killed? No: Syrian civil war, Houthis in Yemen, Sudan / South Sudan worse The most lopsided? No, China vs Xinjiang much worse. The most systematic? Again Xinjiang worse. Because of settler colonialism? Hardly. The Jews were in the area ~2500y before Arab-Muslims. If you squint you can consider this an indigenous movement reclaiming their ancestral land. Also Sudanese are settler colonialists in South Sudan, and the Han in Xinjiang. Sunnis are cleaning up Alawites in Syria. All Arab countries have cleaned up Jews from within their borders. Worse for protected minorities? Many minorities involved in the crises above. The plight of women in Afghanistan is 10x worse (20M women) The most powerless? Hamas can stop it tomorrow releasing its hostages Because it’s a genocide? The definition (Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part) applies to many of these conflicts. Clearly applies to the treatment of Jews in Arab lands. Because of in-group vs out-group? Understandable for Arab / Muslims (although Xinjiang?), but not for Westerners Because of moral superiority of Palestinian leaders? Never tried peace as a long-term strategy Because Palestinians are especially oppressed? Xinjiang worse, arguably minorities in Iran, Sudan, Iraq worse before the war Because it’s a Western country? But then why not treat it as an ally in the wrong, instead of as an enemy? The only arguments that seem parsimonious here are: • Because Israelis are Jews • Because they’re White • Because they’re weak (they partially depend on International approval) None of which seem morally legitimate? This is not an incendiary tweet. I’m actually trying to understand this. What’s a legitimate and parsimonious explanation?

Israel targets a Palestinian mother and her son during their displacement with a rocket. IT'S MADNESS they used a rocket with hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill a mother and her son. These are the weapons that are flowing to them from the US and EU to kill innocent people
