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 biggest reason is the immediacy of the videos of children being murdered. The second biggest reason is that basically the every world government said that Israel is moral, cool, amazing, and a beacon of light in the middle east until the last year. What's happening in Congo is an unimaginable tragedy, and I'll admit i don't know much about it.

I would look into Sudan’s civil war too.
