    Such a weird title. This one is better: Second Most Powerful House Democrat Calls Israel’s Genocide a ‘Genocide’

    I think the genocide of Ukrainians is equally important, and posters here seem to ignore it.

      It is important but it’s very different. Ukraine is viciously fighting back and it’s fairly even at some points making it more closer to a war.

      In Gaza its just straight up one sided slaughyer.

        If Russia is handed Ukraine on a platter by Trump, then there will be a genocide that will make Gaza look like a walk in the park.

        Exactly. Unfortunately, wars do happen frequently, so maybe that’s why OP is seeing more Gaza genocide news in his feed.

        Also, small anecdote, I see as many or more articles about Ukraine just browsing all.

        Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t a war, Ukraine is defending themselves from a foreign aggressor.

          That’s correct. I said closer to a war, not a war.

          And I mean, it kind of is a war in the defense of Ukraine, but that’s besides the point that it’s not the same thing as the Gaza genocide.

          Is that not a form of war though?

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
