43. US involvement isn't the point of the OP however

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 07:43 PM

Just the suffering of innocents and who will “stop the slaughter and Bibi”. Why isn’t that question ever asked about what’s happening in Darfur? Or Congo?

We’ve certainly financially - either overtly or covertly - contributed to the death and destruction in many other genocides and mass starvation conflicts, yet only the I/P conflict ignites such fury. No other current or past crisis in the 20 years of DU elicits this reaction
