Israel has paused some of the Gaza fighting as outrage over starving people rises. News this morning.
 
Not surprising, it's all political games at the expense of someone getting to eat. It always seems like it's impossible to get a legitimate perspective on these overseas issues because every side wants to run propaganda. How are you this morning Blazing Saddle?
It isn't logistics, it's agenda.
 
Israel has paused some of the Gaza fighting as outrage over starving people rises. News this morning.
Israeli strikes killed at least 78 Palestinians in multiple locations across Gaza on Monday, a day after Israel eased aid restrictions in the face of a worsening humanitarian crisis in the territory.

The dead included a newborn who was delivered in a complex surgery after his mother, who was seven months pregnant, was killed in a strike, according to the Nasser Hospital.

Dozens were killed while seeking food.
 
Honestly my natural inclination is much more in line with Floyd's expressed misanthropy. But it's difficult not to object to the egregious treatment of the Palestinians over the years and especially the ethnic cleansing (Or genocide) now taking place.

Israel as a Jewish ethnostate has been the source of too many of the world's problems for too long.
 
South Africa is literally committing genocide of white farmers.
It amazes me that our liberal friends who decry what is happening in Palestine only laugh at this, yet it is very real, and has been ongoing in former british (and other european) colonies that embraced communist ideals in the cold war era. Some of the related war atrocities committed in the Congo and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe are among the worst things imaginable, and I am talking about atrocities committed against many black people, not just the whites there.

There was just a massacre in Congo at a Catholic church the other day. I doubt many of the parishioners were white. If we are going to be humanitarians then playing politics over who's life is valued and who's isn't just makes it cheap talk.

One hundred percent agree.

I don't know what's going on in S. Africa but I suspect it is of a different nature than in Gaza.

But to your general point, a life is a life.
 
"The idea of a 'white genocide' taking place in South Africa is completely false," said Gareth Newham, who heads a justice and violence prevention program at the Institute for Security Studies in South Africa.

"As an independent Institute tracking violence and violent crime in South Africa, if there was any evidence of either a genocide or targeted violence taking place against any group based on their ethnicity this, we would be amongst the first to raise (the) alarm and provide the evidence to the world."
 
The "white genocide" theory was popularized by white separatist neo-Nazi David Lane around 1995, and has been leveraged as propaganda in Europe, North America, South Africa, and Australia. Similar conspiracy theories were prevalent in Nazi Germany[32] and have been used in the present day interchangeably with,[33] and as a broader and more extreme version of, Renaud Camus's 2011 The Great Replacement, focusing on the white population of France.[34][35] Since the 2019 Christchurch and El Paso shootings, of which the shooters' manifestos decried a "white replacement" and have referenced the concept of "Great Replacement", Camus's conspiracy theory (often called "replacement theory" or "population replacement"),[36] along with Bat Ye'or's 2002 Eurabia concept[37] and Gerd Honsik's resurgent 1970s myth of a Kalergi plan,[33] have all been used synonymously with "white genocide" and are increasingly referred to as variations of the conspiracy theory.
