Middle East Conflict (merged)

[Vic]

Indeed, and some people do get involved with as many as they can, even if just raising awareness. Some people really do care n’all, and some even do go over to these places to provide aid.

But some people do also just shove a Palestinian flag on their Twitter bio just because it’s popular.

Is this just distraction from an Israeli atrocity?

I've also read a number of books and as you highlight, the uk bears a lot of responsibility for what is happening now. We lied to the Palestinians with the old 'help us fight the germans' line, promising them their own country and we lied to the Israelis. That said, yesterday's invasion by Israel merely incites more young Palestinian men to take up arms. IMO Israel need the conflict, they want it, it is good for elections, show you are tough on terror etc. so they have no interest in a peaceful solution.

That’s not always been the case but sadly, with the current right wing Israeli government, it’s seems likely to be true that they don’t want an end to it. Corrupt right wing governments thrive on fear, and keeping the conflict going and thereby stoking the fears of normal Israelis is their route to staying in power, that and pandering to the religious right whose influence is increasing due to larger than average population growth in their community. Netanyahu seems no different to the other recent populist leaders around the world like Trump, Bolsanaro and Johnson but he has the added advantage of an ongoing security situation he can exploit to stay in power, and a very obvious “bogeyman” he can use to keep fear levels up.

How many of them really care enough to do so? Being an activist is just a hobby for some people. For others, they just like attaching themselves popular things.

Why is it that many people seem bothered about the Isreal:Palestine issue or the race issue in the USA, but not the Azerbaijan:Armenia issue or the Myanmar+Rohingya issue or the Mexican drug cartel issue or the treatment of native Papuans by Indonesia in West Papua or the situation in Yemen…?

Some people just pick and choose things to appear bothered about based on what they see is popular.

But to me this is pratically a Western nation committing these atrocities which stands out a lot more. Being backed all the way for years by the yanks. They are absolutely fuckin untouchable and carry on their acts of genocide knowing no one can stop them. What a fuckin miserable existence for the Palestinians, no help.from any fucker!

If the council leader of Liverpool having been elected for four years and was still in power 20 years later despite there being no elections decided to enable the people of Liverpool to fire rockets into Manchester indiscriminately whilst allowing terrorist groups to roam freely, what would you do as a citizen of Manchester?

And to put the other side of the argument:
