We are the supplier for the idf of deadly weapons… that’s why Gaza is our responsibility

But I have been vocal about the janajanaweed for over 20 years, since they were going village to village raping,maiming and murdering on camels and horses

the US doesn't fund or provide weapons to either side of the Sudanese civil war. As opposed to how we prop up Israel with weapons and propaganda.

First is that there is no prepackaged scapegoat
Second, it is in Africa, so people would actually have to look at a map to find Sudan

reporting as well. Al Jazeerah English does quite a bit of reporting. I don’t know what a Gaza groupie is but there are protests going on in many European nations. Perhaps the issue isn’t that people have to choose one thing to protest about but that people need to seek out info and learn. The UN has also called out the genocide in Sudan. If US media isn’t doing enough, find alternatives. If one believes they would like to join a demonstration or an organization to help bring attention to the genocide in Sudan - one should make that effort. It shouldn’t be a competition of genocides. But awareness is tough when the media ignores Africa. Israel’s closeness to America and taxpayer dollars going to fund a war makes it understandable that there’s more happening in the US but not sure what the point of that tweeter is. Are they demanding that the same people against what is happening to Gazans must demonstrate that they are equally against what is happening in Sudan? And do they know them individually to know they are not? And is the tweeter missing them as the tweeter must be actively is out there protesting themselves?
