  Do those protesting for Gaza also protest about Sudan, Yemen, Rohingya, West Sahara, Yezidis, Uyghurs, Christians in Nigeria, Kurds, and so on?

  Whenever I read this, I roll my eyes. This is one of the most ridiculous arguments.

  You have to start somewhere and you can’t put your focus on everything. Plus your argument is a method to move the topic to “do you/they this and this and this and that?” Instead of the actual on-topic.

    The OP‘s argument is exactly that.

      Not true but it seems you love to go off-topic and use whataboutism and therefore I will just block you. That way I don’t have to see your pro-genocide and anti-protesting nonsense.

  Some do. Thing is, it’s a BIG world and someone somewhere is beng abused and oppressed at all times.

  People and countries are also experiencing freedom, growth and democratic expansion.

  Yes.

  Do you pick and choose what genocide you tolerate?

  Go visit the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and you’ll see a different protest every day.

    It is on my way to work, so yes I see different protests going on. It’s not the same people though.

  So you do finally admit that Israel is perpetrating a genocide in Gaza?
