| From Spiked Online https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/08/09/in-defence-of-whataboutery/ "Did you know that 652 children have starved to death in Nigeria over the past six months? Did you know that in the north-east of that benighted nation, where a jihadist insurgency is raging and international aid is running thin, a savage hunger stalks the land? Did you know that five million people there are ‘severely hungry’, and that the World Food Programme is only able to feed 1.3million of them? Don’t feel ashamed if you haven’t heard about any of this. Few have. For it has been cruelly drowned out, ruthlessly demoted down the hierarchy of human concern, by what can only be described as the unhinged Gaza infatuation of our Israelophobic elites". And of course there is little attention given to this by the very highly paid UN representatives of the majority of its members who are of course anti-Israel if not antisemitic. But I have no doubt that those on this Forum, who show by their constant attacks on Israel how concerned they are with the excesses of inter ethnic conflict and its consequent child poverty, will speak up against the Government of Nigeria regarding this matter. |
