Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp
I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire

کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

FUCK Zionists and their supporters
The needle is moving. The latest genocidal attack has received far more negatively loaded coverage for Israel than ever before. Even TheGuardian and Reuters are starting to name Israel as perpetrator in their headlines. European countries are condemning Israel. Keep pushing for public awareness. Soon politicians will openly start condemning Israel because the overton window has shifted.
I want my country to stop supporting this
Hopefully the tide turns, and Palestine can be free. May the people of Palestine have strength, and the Zionist entity dissolve. One, single, secular state of Palestine for Palestinians and former Israelis alike.
That reminds me of a quote (kinda poem like) I made after directly seeing the destruction in Gaza
"One day the bombs will stop falling from the sky, the barrels will fall silent, and a "normal" will set in, but the soil will be forever drenched with the blood of the innocent"
Someday this war is going to end, son.
What my quote means is that yes the war will end one day, but the deaths will always be remembered
Where have all the "humans" gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one
When will they ever learn?
Bold of you to assume they bother with yards and not just pits in the earth.
🇨🇦 My MEP will be having a Q&A in a week and I will go and pressure him on this. I'm not sure what more I can really do.
Over 400 in the latest bombings.
Where is the outrage?
It's there but media and the government are not covering it.
@index I'm not seeing it on social media either.
Some small scale actions but nothing like those in south korea or other places
The poem is beautiful. This is truly the greatest moral stain of this generation upon the West; to have supported genocide, and not any genocide but the clearest case of genocide in this supposed era of 'progress' and 'open-mindedness' There is no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago. A genocide unfolded and the 'enlightened West' watched on. How will you get the blood off your hands?
The same way that this same regime got the blood of the native Americans off its hands: you bury it in history books so that only intellectuals will learn of the full genocidal scope of it all while the rest ignore them, it, and label anyone trying to warn the rest about it as tankies or malcontents.
Yes, but the ready excuse for the genocides of the past is, 'That was a barbaric age, everyone was awful. We are enlightened now. See, we gave gay people rights!' Well clearly, nothing has changed. They are still barbarously cruel. But since you're from lemmy.ml, I imagine you already know.
There is no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago.
Don't fall for the propaganda and don't lose hope people are smart, governments are spending billions to brainwash them and keep them stupid, they are spending so much that they are in damage control because they can't keep up with it.
As the ruling class has always been. They want us to blame and fight each other. While they keep taking and taking. Its time to eat the rich.
Some politicians are trying to do something.
That was possibly the hardest thing to take, surviving the genocide(s). The banal evil, the indifference, the apathy, the heads in the sand, so many wannabe good falling to inaction and wilful ignorance upon confrontation with the overwhelm at the horror... some even going back into denial. Horrible catch22s and psychological fatiguing as strategies to further defeat and divide us by. I KNOW it is hard, but still have compassion and sympathy for those who succumb to losing theirs, while encouraging them back to sense of empowerment, reassuring them, there is something they can do, they will seek it, find it, and do it. On and on. No room here for defeatist self fulfilling prophecies of despair and ignorance. Awaken, mendwards, because it's necessary. Amazing grace... We're not done here. We can still mend this.
the outage is gone, you've used up your yearly alloted outrage quota, you will no longer experience anger, nor most other emotions.
I've been negative on what's going on in Israel for a long time, but I admit I'm not overly motivated to go into the streets and clutch my pearls in dismay.
The Canadian govt and organisations in general, to my understanding, aren't really giving a ton of weapons for use in this crap. And clearly, our government's stance has basically zero weight with other countries at this point -- especially with the USA trying to annex us / starting preparations to conduct a Russian style invasion (they're listing 'fentanyl' as a WMD next, so that they can use the tiny amount that crosses their border as an excuse to invade their neighbours it seems).
The issue of the USA falling apart, given its historic central role in most western/democratic pushes, is a bigger issue for most of us, than the deterioration of an area that lacks democracy. I mean, the USA's authoritarian trend is what's enabling Israel to do these things in some ways. The states falling apart is also a lot more 'directly' impactful for citizens in western countries -- we notice when the USA decides to wage an economic war against us, more than we notice the atrocities occurring on the other side of the world.
There's also only so much time you can dedicate to 'protesting', in between working a regular job to provide for your basic necessities. People're tired man, and focusing on the protests that mean the most to them.
While Trump attacks every traditional US colony/ally, he is masterfully successful in getting them to all cower and increase division with Russia, Palestine, and in Canada's case, China as well. All of the colonies are simply shamefully isolating themselves in hope that their CIA handlers will ask Trump to be nicer to them instead of extorting their weakness much harder.
Governments are largely those who decide what will be outraged by the majority of people.
There have been protests for east Congo here in Belgium and now Rwanda is cutting ties with my country for siding with Congo. It's a conflict that started in 2022 but I had no idea. It was just not covered. I still have no idea.
Palestine Israel conflict is well covered. I saw it on the news today, it was an hour long discussion. They showed Oxfam commercial about it, which includes a Belgian young celebrity. She then spoke about it.
The outrage bout Gaza is more present in the younger generation.
Politician of the social democrats at the table said that she hopes that Europe will put sanctions, as it's part of the trade agreement that it will be abolished when human rights aren't being respected.
Trump is choosing the side of murderers with money in each conflict.
a conflict that started in 2022 but I had no idea. It was just not covered. I still have no idea.
Your country is on the right side of this.
The tldr is that Rwanda under Kagame has been stealth invading DRC for several years and is emboldened now to openly occupy using M23. His allies are the US and the UK and the target is the same as last time (DRC's vast mineral wealth).
The last Congo War involved a genocide (Bambuti). This one likely will as well.
IDK in what parallel universe you live.
You suddenly are going to only blame Trump now? Yuo sound like those US lib hypocrits. Guess who let them massacre relentlessly before him?
And Europe has done absolutely nothing, if not helped those genociders.
And like everywhere else in the western regime press, the conflict is not 'well covered'.
It is always biased towards shitrael.
*Looks through comments ... I think I found the outrage.
Did you not see my avatar change?!!!
I'm on the barricades here!!!@WhatSay you are joking, right?
Whenever I can
There is only so much capacity for people to pay attention to stuff. Eventually people get numbers to this kind of tragedy. It's a defense mechanism.
That is how it works. Usually.
You don't have the energy or time to be brothered about the atrocities happening in the world, specially when the victims are not relatable to most the "civilized westerners".
Yeah, it's not that. I have yelled at people, snapped at my friends, and family over what's happening in Gaza. There is only so much a person can handle mentally. For the record, I do not support what is happening, and I will not sit here and listen to someone tell me this is my fault. I am one God damn person. They are deporting and arresting the people protesting for Gaza here in the U.S.
You don’t have the energy or time
The system is designed and shaped around you not having any time or energies to do anything that isn't what you are told to do.
Arundhati Roy mentioned! I love her books!
I'm sorry I don't buy this.
I say they CHOOSE to not see it for their own selfish benefit and it might inconvenience their little bubble.
They know they are part of the system and that they are guilty AF.
Yes I think that's probably enough now.
A large portion of the outrage was directed to POTUS Joseph Biden as a strategy to misinform the uneducated, and it all magically disappeared once Donald Trump won the election, as was always the plan.
We can talk about atrocities in Gaza all day every day, for decades, and even specific recent escalations of tanks on the ground and forceful ethnic cleansing and mass exodus plans laid out by the Israeli military leaders, but the time to actually do anything about it was back in November.
BTW, lemmy_ml is a tankie instance, aka the people doing the aforementioned misinforming.
P.S. I'd love to hear some ideas if anybody has any?
Are you suggesting that the tankies were the masterminds behind the public outrage itself, or that they’re responsible for the reporting on the genocide which led to the outrage?
Occam’s Razor would dictate that there simply was a significant percentage of Americans who were disgusted by genocide, and they tried to leverage Biden/Harris into addressing it. The Dems ignored them and lost because of it. Even if it was some communist plot like you think it was, their evil plans could have been thwarted by Harris simply listening to the concerns of her damn voters. A radical approach, I know
They're not responsible for much of anything, just a piece of a puzzle. Tankies, TikTok, Fox News, the Green Party, etc, they all feigned outrage long enough to turn the election in Trump's favor.
A large portion was that people find genocide unacceptable and an actual red line, unlike Biden's "red line".
Here Are 34 Polls That Show A Ceasefire & Weapons Embargo Help Kamala Win
The Democratic Party chose not to do anything about it, at the expense of a significant amount of votes during a critical election.
Kamala Would Have Won With A Weapons Embargo
Support for Israel continues to fall. The majority of Democratic voters support Palestine more than Israel.

too busy vandalising Teslas I presume.
Priorities for the libsvandalising Teslas
Not nearly enough of that going on to keep us from protesting. TBF we could stand to be burning a few more teslas AND get in some solid protesting.
Would be nice to have a community covering protests and amateur journalists anonymously posting, but then I don't want the government farming videos of that for targets.
Nobody can have nice things I suppose.
One of them got so mad when I said Tesla has become the plastic straw moment of Americans today.
