Selective outrage: Why the world looks away from Syria’s atrocities but fixates on Gaza - analysis (Jerusalem Post)
"...And then there are the human rights organizations — such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International — which churn out regular reports and press releases on Israel, often based on claims from partisan and biased NGOs. When it comes to Sweida, silence.
On July 10, Human Rights Watch found time to condemn the US for sanctioning Francesca Albanese, the UN’s antisemitic special rapporteur on the Palestinians. But it had nothing to say about the slaughter in Sweida. Amnesty? It blasted the EU on July 15 for not suspending its association agreement with Israel, but also stayed silent on Syria...
...Gaza dominates the conversation not only because of what happens there, but because of the infrastructure built to ensure that it does. Syria, broken and complex, doesn’t stand a chance.
And so while the world debates Israel’s every move and dissects every strike in Gaza, a quiet massacre unfolds across the border. Quiet, not because it’s less horrific, but because fewer are paying attention.
That disparity, too, tells a powerful story."
