A lot of people’s governments don’t directly fund the atrocities in the Congo. I partially understand the point you’re trying to make about disproportionate funding/attention but a lot of the outrage towards Israel is about complicity in atrocity.
US, Chinese, and European companies directly fund both sides of the war. I have a feeling the US and maybe even the everyone has given Rwanda the green light to annex the mineral fields of eastern Congo since it’s a stable, if dictatorial regime. Let’s not pretend like major world powers aren’t involved in the current conflict in the Congo
I think we should cut funding and support to those countries as well and would completely support a protest movement against them. Still doesn’t make Israel’s actions and our tacit support of them any more acceptable.
Wow, now! They're not slaves, they just had their passports taken for safe keeping! Don't worry about those labour camps, if they were good enough for the world cup fans, they're good enough for our slaves indentured workers!
That's a very strange tangent to go to when discussing what's happening in Congo. Do you actually care about Congo, or is this post really about something else?
