    Would you look at that, a wild genocide connoisseur appeared!

    Go fucking extinct with your comparisons of human suffering. The only thing you prove is your own lack of morals. The only thing you achieve is total disrespect to those suffering.

      I was not comparing the wars for the wars. I was going to explain at the end, I ran out of time, but I naively thought it would be understood. I can only say what was in my head when I posted it. Or you did understand it, and approve of what’s happening.

      I am not (I thought obviously) condoning any war.

      I’m not saying that one war is “better” or “worse” than any other war.

      My main point (really, my only point) is that Starmers government compared the two and decided that one is bad and the other is good.

      Despite all the atrocities that Israel do (which I was trying to accentuate in the post) - People are getting locked up as terrorists for agreeing with Palestine action.

      it’s fucking ridiculous

      in the UK we can be arrested for protesting against a genocide.

        that Starmers government compared the two and decided that one is bad and the other is good.

        I mean, not just Starmers. Your point stands for a whole lot of governments.

          Well, yes. But afaik Starmers is the only one that you can get arrested and have it reclassified as a terrorist action and imprisoned for lengthy sentences. Or get arrested as a terrorist. But unlikely to happen due the exact same offence if protesting a different war.

      Where is the disrespect? They just point out the moral ambiguity of the west.

        Nothing ambiguous about it. Insert family guy skin color swatches meme. You might be looking for the term “hypocrisy” instead.

          Some of the politicians are definitely hypocrites yeah. And racism counts for some of it as well. But mainly I think it is good ol’ imperialism at work. The politicians feel they have to support Israel and they don’t know what to do about the genocide, and simply ignore it. This is not an excuse. Everyone complicit needs to go to the Haag.
