Anyone with half a brain knew how Israel would respond.

I don’t see Qaatar who gives aid and comfort to the Hamas leadership condemning the October 7th attacks, or telling Hamas to release the hostages.

The UN Secretary General implied after the October 7th attack that perhaps Israel deserved it by saying “nothing happens in a vacuum”, and a response to him calling for a ceasefire would be the same, nothing happens in a vacuum.

Where was the outrage when tens of thousands of civilians were killed in the 1982 Hama massacre, or the Syrian government nerve agent attack in Ghouta?

Is anyone even aware of Jordan’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians in refugee camps in 1970?


The selective outrage never surprises me

Neither Syria nor Jordan was a U.S. ally, and we did not subsidize those conflicts.
