Why is this article on a single rape being reposted daily?
I'll say what I said in the last post, I am unable to muster the energy to care about a single rape in the face of mass slaughter/genocide.
It's only natural for victims of long-term mass violence to resist with violence. The question is why is this single act of violence worth an article, but we are not seeing individual articles for each child starved to death by Israel?
My answer is this rape is being leveraged as propoganda to justify the Holocaust 2.0.
Hitler would rage about the crimes of the jews as justification for the first run, it only makes sense for the new nazis to repeat the strategy.
The article was written just yesterday and Lemmy shows no reposts of the article to this community.
Archive link of the article.
You can click into the cross-post and see that this was originally posted yesterday on World News. You can also see this is cross posted in r/conservative.
This also isn't the first piece by NYT on this topic. Just within the last month they have published 5 articles on this same crime.
Does that mean this single reported event needs to be reposted to the news subs 10+ times? Seems like a way to drown out the numerous genocidal acts happening daily.
What is the point of having separate news and world news communities if one is just going to be a repost location for another?
You can also look at the article itself and see it is clearly a propoganda attempt to justify genocide.
They aren't writing articles for each child bombed or starved to death, which is still ongoing, to redirect focus to a single criminal act.
It should also be pointed out, this criminal act can't be handled by a criminal justice system because of the genocide being enacted on Palestine by Israel. A rape is something that calls for a judicial process, not a military response.
