We can do it again.

The silence is deafening.....

It’s not a contest.

In 2022, the last year I found data for, we gave Israel $3.3 billion. So I do agree with your premise that we send Israel way too much aid, and not enough to Sudan.

My premise was why one gets front page news and the other is on page nine if you can find it at all even though it's multitudes worse cases of starvation

to feed screeching nonsense and lies on social media.

Africa has never mattered except for the resources non-Africans can extract from Africa.

You know the black and brown people do not rate with too many in this world.

causing hunger and death in the Gaza area of that same nation - that makes no sense, while other peoples are starving in a separate country.

Where are the protests?

Imperialism is evil

Nobody pays much attention to them when they're contained to Africa. I don't mean that there aren't organizations hard at work on the ground, trying to address a particular disease -- just that the world in general looks the other way.

It's undramatic, people getting weaker and weaker. Yes, they'll riot when there are more hungry people than there is donated food to feed them, but that's rare. People who are weakened by chronic hunger are blamed for not working hard enough. Rich men tell each other that feeding the hungry makes them morally weak.

IOW, hunger is easy to hide, easy to shame. It's also getting worse in any country where neoliberalism has run amok. The UK is starting to see rickets and scurvy in poor children. I don't see them doing much about it beyond noticing it and tut-tutting to each other. It sucks to be poor, aren't you glad we're not?

It's not just war in Africa that is causing hunger. It's not just local climate chane preventing people from producing enough food to feed themelves. It's not the razing of a city and all its infrastructure, including food stores, leaving 2 million people with nothing.

It's quiet desperation among the non rich in rich countries where a handful of billionaires have sucked up most of the wealth and left too little for everybody else. It's on the rise everywhere and on the move.

Just don't expect much reporting on it. It doesn't bleed, you see, and won't generate clicks.

I thought you were talking about the starvation in the USA...

In fact we have a much bigger with problem with obesity then we do with starvation

They are not the same thing not even remotely

Right now... Just a few miles off of our shore
