Comment on US urges world to care more about Sudan

Oh US, you double faced hypocrite. When it suits, you pretend to be for peace, when it doesn’t, you happily support and finance a genocide. You have no credibly anymore. You are a fucking joke.

Suprise, politicians are hypocrites. I agree with everything you said.
But this is about Sudan, and it’s gotten very bad. I think the most significant difference between Sudan and Israel/Palestine is that Sudan will still exist when the war ends. If Israel cannot defend itself, it is surrounded by enemies that will happily wipe it off the map. But if Israel is not stopped, they will happily wipe out every Palestinian in Gaza.
The Sudanese conflict is about control. The Israel/Palestine conflict is about existence.

The situation in Sudan is bad, and it needs attention, but not from the US. They only fuck things up.
Israel can end the violence today. All they need to do is agree to a two-state solution, and then Palestinians themselves and the world will support their fight against Hamas. It’s that refusal is what making them unsafe. Because while Palestinians doesn’t support the violence, they will not go against the one group that fights for them even if they don’t agree with their ideology. They have been backstabbed too many times, just look at what’s happening in the West Bank. Right now, all they are doing is accelerating the Hamas recruitment. Father who’s all family was bombed or a mother who lost 30 family members has nothing left to live and a lot of hate.

I think it’s more complicated than that. I think the PLA would lose a lot of support by agreeing to a two state solution while also agreeing to oppose Hamas. And Israel isn’t going to make an agreement with the PLA if they expect to have to defend both states from Hamas.
There needs to be both a strong Palestinian leader and a strong Israeli leader who both want peace bad enough to stand up to the hardliners on their side.
None of that justifies the horrific genocide that’s being perpetrated right now.
