Thank you for speaking out on this. MSM has not said a word about medical staff not being able to enter Gaza. This is one more clear example of genocide. Israel could not do this without the support of the US and other western countries. This is colonialism in action. Our leaders in the West , in govt , in education , in the press, in technology and social media, in healthcare do not care if every single person in Gaza will be killed. They will do anything to keep their position of power. They will not speak out nor take action to stop this genocide. The one country brave enough to take a moral stance against genocide in Gaza is Yemen. And now the US is going to bomb them even more

Why do you think everyone should care so much? I’m Czech, I have nothing to do with Gaza. If everyone in that region vanished overnight and the whole Middle East became a smoldering crater, my life would probably improve.

Well, maybe it’d be a little dull since it’s a great source of reading—and in some sick way, entertainment.

People have their own problems to deal with. Let me ask you—do you think more people in the U.S. care about how the Dallas Cowboys played or about the lives of Palestinians?

Of course, everyone will say they want peace—who wouldn’t? But for me, this conflict doesn’t even crack my top 20 concerns. And I’d bet most people feel the same. Honestly, I hope my government prioritizes my top 20 problems over this endless pile of shit.

As I said in my response, it's a source of entertainment for me.

Actually, I think it's called Tribalism: a most obvious human attribute.

So your top 20 likely includes getting your Corn Flakes and milk in the morning?

No, but honestly, that would be far above what's happening in Gaza or the Middle East in general.

From everything happening in the world, I’m far more concerned with the war in Ukraine—it’s happening just 1,000 km away from me. Plus, I care that some midget in heels with a Napoleon complex might strike a deal with the orange man, pushing us back into Russia’s sphere of influence. That’s my #1 geopolitical concern, Top 3 overall.

I care more about Taiwan, because if that escalates, we’re looking at a full-blown USA vs. China war—bad for literally everyone.

I care about where the EU is headed.

I care about ongoing trade wars.

I care about AI development.

Honestly, I could list at least 20 conflicts or geopolitical situations that affect me way more. And that’s not even counting basic stuff like food, shelter, and, you know, the urge to bone.

Reading this back… Gaza wouldn't even crack my Top 50.
