IS THE CONFLICT BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH AND ISRAEL MORE SIGNIFCANT THAN . . .


[+] serious ballot by herzog
created Fri Aug 04, 06

the genocide *still* going on the Sudan? To the people involved perhaps, but as a global issue, like say for the UN to deal with, which is a greater concern?

The war with hezbollah has killed thousands in a military action, the genocide in sudan has killed millions for no purpose other than to wipe them off the face of the earth.

And yet, the UN has been more vocal in denouncing this current war, almost immediately as it's only being going on for a few days, than they ever were for the genocide in sudan, which has been a constant problem for over a decade.

And while they've tried their best to ignore the sudan genocide, they've managed to get heavily involved in this current war, even offering up a proposed cease-fire and a demilitarized zone to end the killing. If only millions of sudanese had been deemed worthy of such attention, their deaths might not have been so pointless.

Which do you think the UN, an organization dedicated to protecting human rights and preventing genocide, should spend more time criticizing, if they had to pick one to focus their energy on?

The sudan genocide
The israel-hezbollah conflict is a far greater human rights disaster
Even balance, IMO

Sudan as horrible as the situation is really only effects the people in that immidate area and therefore I would say the conflict in the M.E is a greater concern.If the conflict turns into a regional war then the U.S and other world powers might have to directly get involved.

No. It is just that the Jews are defending themselves.

Also in the sudan the people doing the killing are Muslims so that means that the left, being "culturally sensitive", can't say anything about it.

I've always wondered why conflicts like the Iran - Iraq war got little coverage when thousands were being slaughtered, chemical weapons were being used and civilian targets were certainly being hit.

With at least 400,000 dead in Sudan I have wondered why this isn't bigger news. Obviously, if the conflict in middle east expands it will be bigger news.

Just because it isn't bigger news here doesn't mean others haven't been speaking out for quite some time.

The UN is pretty ineffective in preventing wars, but when they stick to what they are good at, like providing emergency services and aid, they are quite good.

Cath: you're not going to pretend that the UN gives Sudan the proper amount of attention are you? Get real.

Good point.

Over 3 million people have died in the Congo in the last decade. How often does that make the news. Why the Middle East gets so much world attention I'll never know.

One isn't connected to the other, but creating this fiction gives the ballotmaker another strawman ballot through which to work out his hate-driven obsession with the United Nations.

I think the Darfur genocide, and whole of other ethnic conflicts in Africa. There are many more conflicts than just Darfur that beg more attention from the UN than the Darfur crisis.

The UN shouts and screams more about Israel-Hezbollah because... well... there is more of an outcry from more of its member-states to this crisis than others. Why? Well, for Muslim countries, there is a sense that they are collectively being oppressed (which isn't true, but the perception is being used nonetheless).

cranky - Oh, indeed there is a tie between the two. The UN is to address both. So far the UN seems to have been more active about this conflict than the one in Darfur.
