bad faith questions like this don’t deserve an answer, no
“you like waffles? so why do i see you eating pancakes right now”
Okay, yeah. If it's in bad faith I totally agree.
Still, I do have to wonder why some genocides are more important to people than others. There's a genuine question there too
For example what is it about Palestine that is driving the current set of protests that the last 5 years in Ethiopia lacked?
In this case I would assume it's the fact that many western nations are involved with Israel in some way.
I'll do you one better, what is it about Palestine this time?
Israel's been getting away with genocide for decades, of course none of them see a problem with finishing the job now. What has suddenly changed such that the American public are finally able to realize the apartheid government they've been financially supporting all these years is actually evil?
People are better informed.
Are you upset that people are protesting now? Sure, they should have been protesting before but unless you have a time machine there's nothing we can do about that.
thanks for understanding haha. and yes there is probably a context where someone could ask this question in good faith but that’s not the context of this post :)
