Sudan Massacre

Engaging in the text by saying “I don’t understand” is different than “No, it means ______”. The former prompts clarification, the latter doesn’t.

You’re drawing a cleaner line there than real conversations actually have. Saying “I don’t understand” is one valid move, but saying “when you write X, it reads as Y” is also a perfectly legitimate way of engaging the text – it’s not me declaring a divine translation, it’s me telling Gospel how his words actually land. That still leaves plenty of room for clarification or correction; it just doesn’t pretend my interpretation came from nowhere. If writers only ever got “I don’t understand” and never “this is what your framing is doing,” they’d get a lot less useful feedback on how their language is functioning.

Indeed, they don’t give a shit about darkies killing each other, particularly when those darkies are Christian darkies.

Muslim darkies are being killed too.

They aren't being killed by jooooos though.

Does that make the killings better to you? I don't get why you're saying this.

I think he is trying to point out perceived double standards/ antisemitism because of all the coverage in Gaza.

Yeah, that is the point. A failed effort (Swizzle Fizzle) to charge hypocrisy and double standards.

I speak for myself and I expect for everyone here that I unequivocally condemn what is happening in Sudan.

Also, NO ONE here thinks “Jooooos” are to blame for what is happening in Gaza. We all have been very explicit that we blame the government of Netanyahu.

This is just another implied slur of anti-Semitism. As always it is false and disgusting.

As to coverage, it is not surprising that most of it focuses on Gaza, given how geopolitically important the whole Mideast is. I imagine this means “coverage” by the media, but a simple Google search shows ample coverage of the events in Sudan.

Yeah, it's like being accused of racism if you didn't support Idi Amin.

Amin was vile because of his vileness, not because of his being black, or African, or Ugandan.

Similarly, Bibi is vile, and that fact has zero to do with his being a Jew.
