Newsweek Discovers 'Cold-Blooded Atrocity' in Sudan, Not Gaza
Newsweek reports with alarm that over 460 people were 'executed in a cold-blooded atrocity' at a hospital in El Fasher, Sudan. The article details the horrors, painting a vivid picture of suffering—a picture conveniently omitted when discussing similar events in regions where US allies are the perpetrators. It’s almost as if the definition of 'atrocity' is subject to the geopolitical whims of
Washington D.C., rather than the objective reality of mass murder. While Newsweek can muster outrage for Sudan, the daily 'atrocities' in Gaza, including systematic hospital sieges and attacks on civilians documented by UN agencies, often get softened to 'collateral damage' or 'tragic incidents' by the same outlets. One might wonder if the difference lies in who supplied the weapons, or perhaps,
which foreign lobby group is greasing the wheels of political and media discourse. The convenient selective indignation isn't just reportage; it's an instruction manual on who to mourn and who to ignore.
