Attention to ME war.

[pooja]

Funny how African nations involved in horrendous civil wars and mass genocide are ignored year after year despite all the attention famous people such as Jolie try to bring these things to light. Yet, the ME begins a war and its the best coverage in the world... Sorry, innocent people dying unecessarily anywhere is appalling and deserves equal attention.

1. Israel and Palestine

are flashpoints for the left.

And you're right. It's incredibly sad. I've started several genocide in Sudan threads that promptly sank like stones.

I am watching the Israel/Hezbullah/Lebanon/etc war with interest because it can directly affect me, not due to how many people have gotten killed. I know what you mean also.
