It has become so weird that the US Right supports Israel’s war on Palestine while the US Left supports Ukraine’sdefense against Russia.Political sides dig in. The wars become associated with culture.There is so little voice today from those who oppose aggression. Those who support Jews but are not onboard withIsrael’s actions against Palestinians. Those who support Ukrainian independence but don’t want to commitunlimited troops for border regions that literally speak Russian amid a complicated history.More people die in Sudan and Cambodia than Israel/Palestine, but we are all focused on Israel/Palestine becauseit’s a conflict of cultures. Religious cultures but also western imperialism vs the global south. The focus ofit all. That occupies our attention even as bigger massacres occur elsewhere that aren’t directly across thesemassive fault lines.I refuse to engage in attention whoring. I support peace in most instances globally, other than total waragainst someone’s existence where it becomes right to fight back. People have a right to self-defense. And thosewho have power over others have a responsibility to hold back on using it fully.Keep in mind that at any moment, tons of violence is occurring globally. The media directs you to a subset of itthat is geographically, economically, or culturally relevant for their purposes. You ignore or are unaware ofthe rest, and get emotional about what is fed to you. That’s how most people act, anyway.
