12.5 The Sudan, The Worlds Ignored and Most Serious Humanitarian Crisis

The video below is an excerpt of a video from the Elizabeth Farah show from worldnetdaily.com.  You can see the entire video by clicking here.  It is an interview with Alberto Fernandez of the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI.  MEMRI posts videos with translations.  The Arabs often say one thing in English to Westerners and another in their native language to their own people.  MEMRI lets us see what they are saying to their own people.  Alberto speaks about the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and how it's being ignored.

Alberto says the world is ignoring what is happening in Africa because of who the victims are and who the oppressors are.  Many in the world doesn't seem to care when the victims are Christians and the oppressors are Muslims. 

Hugh Fitzgerald made the same point in an article titled For the Left, Black Lives Don’t Really Matter — Only the ‘Genocide in Gaza’ Does.  His article is about another article by Brendan O'Neil titled Sudan’s ‘forgotten war’ exposes the inhumanity of Israelophobia in which Brendan asks "Why are the influencers who said ‘black lives matter’ shamefully silent on the black lives lost in Sudan?"  Brendan wrote:

"It is thought that 150,000 people have perished. Twelve million have been forced to flee their homes – the worst episode of human displacement of the 21st century so far. More than half of the population – 30million souls – now require humanitarian assistance to survive. As Germany’s Deutsche Welle put it last month, the dimensions of Sudan’s tragedy surpass ‘those in Ukraine, Gaza and Somalia combined’. And yet it barely registers on the global conscience. The people of Sudan die in darkness."

Brendan argues that the West is so determined to attack Israel that it ignores what the genocide being committed by Arabs in Sudan.  Many in the West sees the Palestinian Muslim Arabs as the oppressed they don't want to see Muslim Arabs as the oppressors.  That might make Israel look good.
