Man made famine - the world should be ashamed

But there is always a famine in Africa. My whole life I've been contributing to one or another appeal for children starving in Africa!! Why can't people live in peace? Why can't Israel see how their relentless bullying has led to this situation. I despair of people - well, men really. They seem compelled to fight.

There is a thread on Sudan but the Israel/Gaza situation is very one sided. Up to now Israel has been seen as a civilised country but not now.

So we are ignoring Sudan which is currently the worst crisis.

As individuals there is little we can do and I won't share the guilt of those powerful enough to intervene.
I am distressed by the treatment of the Palestinians and wonder at those who believe Israel is right and have no compassion for the suffering inflicted on the innocents.

No I’m sorry the “we” was not meant as individuals

The “we” is the world.

Who is we? What can we possibly do?

We could not stop Rwanda slaughters and so many other world atrocities - we cannot stop this.

We are wholly impotent. I have written to my MP - I am not fit enough to protest - I have signed petitions.

I am not "sitting by" - I am distressed about this. But there is nothing I can do. I am so unwell that I can barely get through from one day to the next. I cannot take this guilt on too.

Evil people have always done evil things.

I don’t think that WWM is asking us to do any more than we can, and it sounds like you have already done more than most.
My DH and I used to go to demos and protests but now he is seriously unwell and I care for him day and night. So like you I can only do what I can do.
Also it is incumbent upon governments to act which is again what I believe WWM is saying here.
Take care.

Because the Israeli government is lawless, with a crook who should be in jail running the show intent upon breaking every international law there is.
Now that the famine has been established as an irrefutable fact I hope western governments will respond accordingly as they would with any other rogue state.
