    TIL genocide can be compared to “Your pleasant enough neighbor annoyingly pokes you gently in the ribs, a few times a day randomly”

      You’re missing the point of the analogy. Israel is definitely committing an active genocide and that’s inexcusable. The world at large and US as a superpower need to do more to pressure Israel and potentially intervene, but people with your mindset are oblivious to the idea of triage , You have multiple active problems here. You first separate them into levels of severity to establish an order of operations and then you move in that order. You help first where the most help is needed to eventually solve for the whole situation.

      You’re either purposefully ignoring that or you have some growing up to do in how you process big problems happening all at once. Your response is lazy, but it makes you feel good - while doing absolutely nothing to help solve the larger problem.
