Also, much of the trouble around Africa is directly caused by Muslims trying to enslave non-Muslims or force them to convert but we can't talk about that either.

Reports are that in the "liberated" (thanks to the Arab Spring pushed by Clinton and the Obama administration) Libya, now that Ghaddafi is gone, there are open slave markets in the cities and guess who the slaves are? Just one more regime change operation that failed. Will we ever learn?

... now that Ghaddafi is gone ...

He was "murdered" by Hillary Clinton. What is also questionable, NATO was used to take-out Ghaddafi, but for some strange reason NATO could not be used to protect the Ukraine???? Seems like a case of applying relative justification.

Why aren't they escaping Gaza by crossing the border with Egypt?
And why isn't aid being sent in via the Egyptian border?
It appears Europe and Russia want to control Ukraine. My guess is Russia will win. Nothing has changed from Alaska with Putin and the Trump and Europe so called summit. Europe and Britain cleared off home waffling on about how they will manage Ukraine.

Greta Thumbrain needs to shut up and clear off back to Sweden and stay there. Maybe give her a job making Volvos, as a singer in a band, or emptying rubbish bins? Something that would be more useful than the timewasting, posturing and buggering about that she involves herself in now. People like her spend all their time telling everybody else what they should be doing but are themselves incapable of doing anything.
Neither do they have any solutions, only complaints. Simply a pointless distraction for everyone.

As a corollary to the graphic below. Why aren't those supporting Gaza, not protesting the Russian invasion of the Ukraine? The fact that they are supporting the Palestinians but not the Ukrainians demonstrates that this is really about antisemitism. Not about peace or the environment. Where is the humanitarian aid for the Ukraine and the Sudan?

Second Greta Thunberg 'Aid' Flotilla to Set Sail from Spain to Gaza

A Greta Thunberg organised flotilla of ships was preparing to set sail for the Gaza Strip Sunday with humanitarian aid on board.

I would guess it is because the vast majority of the world is already supporting Ukraine so there's really no need to protest about it. In contrast, there is a need to protest against Israel's behavior because much of the world is supporting what they've done
Protests are usually to try to effect some kind of change

Having said there, I agree with you in the portion of what you're saying about the Sudan. It's too bad that people in general aren't up in arms about the things that happen on the African continent that are deplorable. It seems to me that with MINIMAL effort we could intervene and help a lot of people too. A lot of the " bad guys" over there have nothing but machetes.

@Isaac: Israels behavior has been super restrained by historical standards. They have been allowing a degree of humanitarian aid to flow to the people who intend to kill them! Who feeds the enemy???? That is ridiculous. Those fighting Germany and Japan in WWII indiscriminately killed thousands, there were (to my knowledge) no offers to provide humanitarian aid to the suffering Germans and the Japanese. The Palestinians continue to hold hostages, which is very unhumanitarian and I suspect a violation of international law. You also have to ask why the other Middle East Countries won't accept all the residents of Gaza as refugees into their countries so that this conflict can end. It appears that the Palestinians are not interested in ending the conflict. (Don't forget that they started the conflict.)

Consider that the new Syrian government recently killed a number of Druze as another example of ethnic cleansing. The Jews (by extension) are not safe. Don't forget the endless antisemitic genocidal hatred chant of "From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free". Therefore Israel should not be condemned for aggressively protecting itself.

South Syria death toll passes 1,000, including 194 ‘summarily executed’ Druze, says watchdog

This would probably cut down on gun violence.
