US politicians and think tanks are using atrocities and genocidal violence in Ethiopia and Sudan to justify their support for Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza. They need take our people’s names out their mouths.

To be fair, he wasnt saying this to justify anything about Israel/Gaza at all. He was correcting the SGs statement. He has been a very solid supporter of Tigrayans and all civilians in the Horn conflicts. He was trying to remind of that carnage

I’ve been thinking about all these comparisons re tragedies around the world, at times said as if to normalise what’s happening in Palestine. If one *must* compare, basic maths makes the scale of civilian killings, maiming & displacement in Gaza unparalleled, horrific

It is exactly the opposite. Violence against civilians in Ethiopia and Sudan is one of the many reasons we need to oppose Israel’s violence in Gaza which further normalizes a horrifying precedent.
