Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in detention center

17. Switch to Darfur. It's way worse. Both sides tribal conflicts, with genocide ,rapes, famine...

But both sides are considered equally ignorant, savage African tribes (just another indigenous conflict somewhere that doesn't matter), so I guess it just doesn't have the same urgency as a supposedly modern Western culture being attacked a bunch of backwards Tribal goat herders who hate them for their education and wealth or something like that.
Face it, no one "who matters" cares about violence against people of color wherever it is. Especially if they're sitting on top of natural resources wealthier countries and warlords want to control access to.

We ignore African problems at our environmental and socio-political peril.
If Israel did not have so many ties to European culture - or frankly, Christian history - would the Western world really care?
Without those cultural ties, would Israelis and Palestinians be considered as important to care about as other endangered ethnic groups like Sikhs or Uyghars?
