Well, the state with the big guns is saying nothing is happening, so…
Comment on BBC staffers reveal editor's 'entire job' to whitewash Israeli war crimes
PanArab@lemm.ee 1 week agoPersonally I’m still processing the fact there’s a genocide happening and the world is carrying on as if nothing is happening. Worse many are helping in the cover up.
I’m still in a state of shock and loss for words, more than 400 days later.

well this is even worse than pretending like nothing is happening. this is active participation.

Surely, if anything, this is passive participation.

for me passive participation is turning a blind eye and not even criticizing. when you start withholding information in an attempt to whitewash genocide and appease the genociders then you are actively participating.

It’s terrifying. Beyond the inhumanity of the so called civilized nations is the grim realisation that nothing is a red line for them.

A lot of people don’t like what’s happening, don’t like the people loudly supporting it and are working as best they can to do something about it. There is international pressure from nations that have experienced parallels (South Africa, for one) and although it looks like nothing is happening, there are things going on which are not reported on and actively minimized, which nevertheless apply pressure to the bad actors in the situation.
It’s disappointing how many people, particularly in the west, are displaying bad political judgment…well, it’s almost like they aren’t thinking about it at all… but that’s just going to have to catch up with them as a consequence later on. This has had the effect of serving to reveal an entire crop of bad actors, which we all know must be removed.

I suspect the issue they’re having, much as I am to a degree, is that a country is literally murdering men, women, and children so it can take their land and possessions and most of the world continues going about its business as if nothing is happening. Scaled vastly down, it’s almost as if a gang was murdering a neighboring family and the family is screaming for help while the other neighbors do their best to ignore it.
I get why people aren’t flocking to Palestine en masse to defend Palestinians, but especially for anyone with friends or family there, it’s all bizarre. It’s a huge, devastating, pressing issue that weighs on their minds all the time and most of the world doesn’t seem to even care.
