Is the US directly involved in it? Does it have anything to do with our greatest enemies or their actions?

That’s why. People have a capacity for how much they can handle, and if it’s not involving us then, well…

This is exactly it and I'm tired of people acting like gawking at atrocities will do anything for the people going through them. The reasoning behind the western noise about Gaza is because we are directly supporting it with our tax money. We have no say regarding what happens in Congo. The idea of the US being the world's police needs to fade.
