Ana Kasparian And The Art Of Virtue Signaling. Israel And The War In Gaza

 The not so young Turks have a large audience and platform.

In all of their many years, did they ever get this animated and angry at the many massacres and genocides that they could not exploit to fit their political narratives?

No normal human being, including supporters of Israel, likes the war and senseless deaths in Gaza. 

But it is reasonable to wonder why no one cares when people slaughter each other, including children, by the millions all over the world, and few to no one lifts a finger to help, to protest, to say a single damn word. 

It is not like these so-called young Turks did not have a platform all of these years, while not just hundreds, not just thousands, but millions of children, and millions of other civilians, have been killed.

Genocide against the Yazidis by ISIS, with thousands of women and girls still held in captivity. Genocide in the Congo with over six million people slaughtered, genocide in Darfur, Sudan, which is still occurring. RSF Arab militias are slaughtering and horribly abusing the indigenous black Muslim population, but since the attackers do not fit the profile of who can be demonized and despised, no one cares.

War, mass killings, starvation, all over Yemen, Sudan, parts of Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Somalia, Mozambique, Congo region, Myanmar, Ukraine, North Nigeria against Christians, Syria against Druze and others, and more. 

All over the world, religious and ethnic minorities are persecuted. Iran against Bahais, Zoroastrians and others, Hindus, Christians and others persecuted in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Druze persecuted and slaughtered in Syria, and much more.

Concern for humanity, for children, when it comes to the virtue signalers, is about who can be blamed and demonized, not about children. 

Some believe that if they say they oppose what Hamas did not October 7, that gives them license to demonize Israel for the war in Gaza. It does not.

What Hamas and company did on October 7, abusing, murdering, kidnapping, committing atrocities against women, girls, babies, children of all ages, defenseless people of all ages, any normal, decent human being should oppose.

Civilians, children, die in wars. Millions upon millions of German children and civilians were killed during WW2. That was not used as the excuse to stop the war. The way to not have children killed is to not start war. Do not brainwash an entire generation of children to hate and want to kill, which is what Hamas did under the approving eyes of the UN and others.

This war could have and should have ended long ago. Release the hostages. Free Gaza from the grips of the Hamas terrorist organization. Hamas is no different than ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Jihad, Al Quada, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Abu Sayyaf, RSF, and the many other bloodthirsty, fanatical, violent, murdering, brainwashing, child marrying, terrorist organizations killing and destroying all over the world.

Fighting an enemy such as Hamas that uses civilians as their human shields, means children will die. Fighting an enemy such as Hamas that hides beneath and behind civilians means children will die. Fighting an enemy such as Hamas that uses child soldiers means children will die. Fighting an enemy that spent billions of dollars to build tunnels for themselves to hide in and to enrich their fat cat leaders living lives of luxury in Qatar, Turkey and elsewhere, while building not one single bomb shelter for the children and civilians above ground, means children will die. Fighting an enemy that wants child and civilian deaths, including at feeding stations, means children will die. 

If Jordan, Egypt, or any other Arab country had opened their doors for Gaza civilians to escape the fighting, which is what civilians normally do in wars, there would be fewer civilian casualties. The doors were not opened, even though Palestinians are Arabs that speak the same language, follow the same religions and culture as their fellow Arabs. No hand was lifted to help. Exploiting civilian casualties in order to demonize Israel was more important. Just as it is to the virtue signalers. 

If not for the hatred against Jews, this war would be just one of the many wars across the world that few to no one cares about or lifts a finger to help or try stop.

Religious intolerance started this war. Religious intolerance keeps it alive. The enablers that ignore this fact in order to further their religious or political narratives do nothing but help keep the killing and suffering alive.
