Gazan Civilians Mourn Sudan's Massacre, US Still Silent
The New Arab reports Palestinians in Gaza, enduring their own relentless bombardment, are expressing solidarity with Sudan over the El Fasher massacre. The irony writes itself: those trapped in one humanitarian catastrophe extending empathy to another, while the 'international community' (read: Washington) barely registers a peep—unless, of course, there's a strategically convenient resource or
geopolitical chess move involved. Where are the emergency UN sessions and the blistering condemnations when the victims aren't politically useful? This selective outrage isn't new; it's a feature, not a bug. While funds and F-16s flow freely to one conflict zone, civilian deaths in Sudan are treated as mere background noise. Perhaps if El Fasher sat atop significant natural gas reserves, or
bordered a U.S. military base, the global media would discover the 'tragedy' a bit sooner. One might wonder, how many civilian lives lost equal a 'crisis' when they're not televised with the appropriate, politically-approved soundtrack?
