    Are their offices only infected with terrorists and terrorist sympathizers on days when they issue reports on Gaza but not infected on days when they issue information about Sudan?

    So the UN isn't inherently bad then? Just their Gaza operations aren't reliable?

    Absolutely not. But your fellow civilian - death-apologist does. I just wanted to see if you were on the same page

    There isn't any outrage because it doesn't fit the hierarchy of victimization narrative of the left. In other words, it isn't Jews doing it, so the resident leftists are fine with it.

    Shame on these hypocrites.

    Yes. Both things are definitely conclusive based on the posts here. Impossible to debate solid evidence like that.

    perhaps it's just your rabid antisemitism that leads you to focus exclusively on the imagined ethnic cleansing in Gaza, rather than the actual ethnic cleansing in Darfur.

    Perhaps it's ignorant comments like these accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of antisemitism that makes your faux outrage an ineffective disguise for your hatred and desire for cruelty, apathy for the loss of innocent lives if they belong to one ethnicity.

    This is bad.

    I'm sorry it took me so long to say that, that this is bad, very bad even.

    Carry on, basso. There's a few hundred or so bad things that you have not posted about here....does this lead me to believe that you support those things and are some sort of shitbag bigot (rabid or vaccinated?, I don't know).

    Keep me posted :)

    Another stupid and dishonest Xweet by the dehumanizing bigot.

    Of course there are multiple aid operations there, but they don't need to be airdropped because the access isn't as restricted as access to Gaza.

    Some of the ones that are delivering aid are
    UNCHR
    UNICEF
    Save the Children
    CARE
    Save Darfur Coalition which is an umbrella for more than 190 faith based organizations

    The United States Government also allocated 130 million in ADDITIONAL aid.

    UK, France, Netherlands, and Canada also joined in with the United States to help with the situation.

    That Eli guy has been reposted on here and most of his sharts are wounded/hurt half-truths to serve an agenda that isn't pro-American.

    Frankly, this forum would be better off if all tweets were disabled. Even if an extra click is needed, it would do 99% of the job already.

    The laziness creep is real.

    If a us politician says something like this:


    About Sudan I'll care a lot more to express outrage because then that would mean my government is supporting it.

    So you know the difference between protest and virtue signaling?

    Protesting is trying to fight for something that isn't the current popular opinion or policy position by the institutions in power.


    Virtue signaling is expressing a fight for something that already is a current popular opinion and is popular amongst the institutions in power.

    So when Sudan has a lobbying arm as powerful as AIPAC and has politicians saying that Sudan is our closest moral ally then I'll shout about how I don't support my government doing it.

    I enthusiastically agree with this idea. Tweets might be helpful in game action, but I think it's killing dnd. People talk less, propagandize more.

    Honestly when in the D&D, the vast majority of those white embedded tweets are just blurs I scroll down as if they don't exist.

    Some people are motivated to "trigger" so expect a spam of embedded tweets below.
