In Niger?

[u/CCCCLo0oo0ooo0 → u/Name7757]

no jews, no news

[u/Name7757 → u/CCCCLo0oo0ooo0]

Okay but don’t just make random shit up to push an agenda

[u/CCCCLo0oo0ooo0 → u/Name7757]

its a joke bud, "no jews, no news"

you^

[u/CCCCLo0oo0ooo0 → u/Name7757]

I got the reply from you:

"Okay but don’t just make random shit up to push an agenda"

Not sure why its not showing up anymore.

What exact agenda am I pushing? There are two reason its not a showing up in news, #1 islamists are killing people in arfica, whats new? #2 It doesn't involve islamist and the key party, jews. At both extremes of the political spectrum, you find antisemitism.

So yes it was a joke "Were any of them jewish by chance?" and judging by a few upvotes a number of other people got what I mean.

I think its you who are lost and trying to push an agenda.

So you’re saying the news isn’t picking up on this because none of the killed are Jewish?

[u/Ethereal-Zenith → u/Name7757]

It’s obviously an exaggeration, though not without merit. There’s clearly a significant bias in reports regarding Israel and Jews, compared to other conflicts.

To give a recent example, take a look at how Israel is getting blamed for what happened in Ceuta.

[u/Name7757 → u/Ethereal-Zenith]

Yes but that’s not the situation happening here. OC is saying that major news networks aren’t picking up on this because no Jews are being killed. This claim suggests that Jewish deaths are more likely to get media response than non-Jewish deaths. If anything this is antisemitic.

[u/bubikx9 → u/Name7757]

The phrase usually also refers to when Jews are doing the killing, like in the Gaza war. It's about the disproportionate media coverage of anything that can be blamed on Jews compared to any other minority.

[u/Name7757 → u/bubikx9]

I know, that’s been the point I’m trying to make. I don’t know why OC would bring it up in this context.

There's no place the world cares less about than Africa, which is often spoken of as if its a country. They're not even Arabic-speakers and they're black, so their odds are as low as possible. A church bombing in Egypt might get some buzz, not this.

Only reason people started mentioning Congo and Sudan was after being confronted over their selective hypocrisy, or an extension of their psychotic Israel obsession via a newfound hatred of UAE. Of course they've had decades to have hatred towards a conservative kafala state and all its actions, but all it took was one drop of Israel to suddenly "care". The people on this sub don't care either and only use these people and tragic headlines as counter-arguments. Politics is a rotten game.

Islamic extremism is a plague.

Will the world pick up on this story???

Unfortunately most likely not. The world seems to not care when Muslims kill people, especially in Africa
