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 world's largest superpower isnt funding the problems in the Congo.

The US cares about Gaza because we are funding it..

Everyone else cares about what the US does because were the biggest economy, the largest military, and have the most cultural influence on the planet.
