Trump Targets Nigeria for 'Slaughter' of Christians, Ignores Gaza Starvation
While Trump promises to defend Christians in Nigeria, the U.S. government continues to arm Israel as it starves and bombs Gazans, a population half of whom are Christian. One might recall similar outrage expressed by policymakers over alleged atrocities in places like Iraq (2003) or Libya (2011), often preceding interventions. Meanwhile, Netanyahu, following a well-worn playbook, has called for
'decisive' action against Gaza's population—a population that includes Christians who have lived there for 2000 years—without a peep from the same 'concerned' corners of Washington. It appears humanitarian crises only warrant intervention when they align with pre-existing geopolitical agendas, or when a pop star's endorsement can be gained. The principle of 'protecting Christians' seems
astonishingly flexible, deployed selectively to justify military threats against nations not fully aligned with U.S. interests, while ignoring ongoing devastation elsewhere that such alignment actively perpetrates.
