What? People are willing to let Trump win (which would be its own entirely separate set of human rights violations) over the genocide in Gaza.
You must not be paying enough attention because your first point can be easily disproven by visiting any major news source and viewing the stories about the mass protests on college campuses all over the county right now.
A lot of them were "disappointed" when the estimated death toll got reduced. That tells us who those people really are. Very likely, they're Russia bots that are using the events in Gaza as a distraction to their war in Ukraine.
Yes but that's mostly because Israel is involved, which is a white colonialist state with whom the west are heavily involved economically. Especially the US.
The other countries OP mentioned get no attention however.
The world could care less if it is Trump or Biden. But your supposition that stopping one genocide supporter is rooting for another fascists is not the worlds fault, but your own. Democracy as you still would call it.
Stop trying to claim to be the police of the world, while at the same time also sell weapons to the half of the world including despotic regimes and genocidal ones. A very good business model, but the world is seeing through it.
We all know where your priorities lie, and it isn't Human Rights.
Yes, the protests got more news time than the actual ethnic cleansing. Tells a lot about the populace.
It's fine that genocides are happening over other countries with your blessings, But hur dur… we… we don't want what we do to other countries happening to us. 😭
It's about time you face consequences of your actions.
