    Or with Martians? The point is they mostly care about this particular conflict is because it’s muslims that are getting slaughtered

      Even when you’re not a Muslim you can easily acknowledge that genocide against Muslims is as bad as against anyone else. And if you ask Muslims on the question of genocide against anyone I’m sure the answer wouldn’t differ to genocide against Muslims, because it’s such a natural thing to oppose genocide.

        Well that’s the point, innit? Do we see the same level of reaction for Darfur, Burkina Faso, Saudi-Arabia, …

          I keep hearing this „but what about Sudan?“ kind of thing. I mean also what about the children in Gaza vs the outrage when Israeli children are getting killed.

          The goal of the protests for Palestine is to overcome imperialism and colonialism as a whole. The movement won’t stop when Palestine is free but only when everyone is free.

          That we don’t see the same reaction for the people of Sudan is part of the problem, not a reason to delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement.

            But that’s my exactly my point: you don’t see the MP from this post asking for the athletes of any of those other countries to be banned. Doesn’t that make him part of the problem? Does the fact that he only seems to care about one very particular conflict (as per the comment we’re replying on: “because he’s in a country with a large muslim population”) not make his concern seem insincere?
