(11,923 posts)The performative drama of expressing your outrage is reserved, by your own account, exclusively towards a single target, bypassing any and all entities who have a long-held record of mistreating Palestinians: Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, and yes, their current overlords in Gaza, whose pivotal role in the current war your expressions of outrage barely acknowledge. At best, your outrage bypasses all parties but one, and at worst you attempt to excuse them. And I am not even going into the absence of any commensurate outrage with conflicts outside the Middle East: Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Ethiopia, etc., where real by-the-book genocide, ethnic cleansing, land grab, European colonial conquests are taking place.
All of these are, by choice, taken out of your consideration. Performances of outrage are reserved exclusively to a single party: Israel.
In deference to the DU terms of service, I have decided to not scrutionze your record of outrage in greater detail. I have no idea how your sentiments had been expressed prior to October 14, 2023, or outside of DU since then. However, your record on DU is not a matter of spin or conjecture, and it is contrary to what you are trying to represent in your post.
Other than that, if it makes you feel better, you are welcome to hang on to what precious little is left of your point.
