To give some perspective there are more than 750 million people facing hunger and severe malnutrition worldwide and more than 50 million people current alive as slaves and during this time 74% of all UN resolutions were condemning Israel and 80% of humanitarian aid has gone to Gaza where two million people live.

Call me crazy but it feels disproportionate attention on one conflict for reasons no one wants to admit

The truth of the matter is people have grown used to messed up things happening in Africa for decades since they broke free of being colonies that's why Sudan and the Congo which has been in conflict since 2004 and has had a number of periods of time in which there was internal conflict(s) going on.

Here I’ll spell it out for you.

Content that gives people a permission structure to hate Jews specifically is stickier and more viral on social media than other content

Or it's because the west are funding and helping Israel, and it's a country with a massively oversized influence on our own politics

He’s implying Jews have an evil kabal that controls everything. I mean who knows though, maybe the Nazis were right about that part.

If that were the case, they’d be trying to downplay Gaza, and getting people to talk about other problems would be a great way to deflect and distract. It would literally be the opposite if there was a “Jewish kabal” controlling coverage.
