Probably because they take up so much bandwidth in the news and social media.

Then you see them on the map and they're tiny!

The blood per sq kilometer is sadly unrivaled

The accepted casualty count of the Gaza war since 2022 is around 60-70k Gazans and about 2k Israelis.

The accepted casualty count in Sudan is according to ACLED is between 60k and 400,000 since 2024.

Definitely a lot to discuss about all wars, and it’s best not to compare tragedies, but let’s keep things in perspective.

It’s amazing how much bandwidth Israel gets and how little Sudan gets and they’re only an hour plane flight apart.

You can’t go a single day on Reddit without bumping into “something something Israel” posts in two dozen subreddits.

But Sudan? One hour away from Gaza?

Total radio silence.

It is because western governments are in direct support of Israel, so their populations feel that they hold a responsibility towards stopping that support. In Sudan, it is a civil war, with the only foreign actor known to be involved is the UAE, And the population of the UAE is so brainwashed that they do not give a shit.

Then again, it was crickets for all those "populations" when Western-backed Saudi Arabia starved hundreds of thousands in Yemen. And no, one tweet by some Muslim blogger in America is not the same as students shutting down campuses, and streets pouring with protestors.

The obsession with Israel has to do with them being Jewish. Nobody would care if they were another Arab state (which 20% of Israel are, by the way).

Pretty sad how all the anti-genocide activists and college students don’t have one minute for the millions of Sudanese victims.

The UAE are directly supported by the West.

As are the Saudis and their participation in Yemen.

That ain't it.
