"It's pretty distasteful to use the crisis in Sudan as a stick to beat people with"

Actually given the greater number of deaths and the horrific inclusion of slavery I personally see the Sudanese conflict as massively under reported.

Why do you think it is under reported?

Because the majority of countries aren't denying it is happening or financing it in any way so doesn't attract the same level of debate when all are in agreement that it is horrific

Yeah it's only because people hate Jews not because people care about the death and destruction of the Gaza people. Slightly narcissistic perspective

Nice antisemitism there, you assume I only hold this view because you think I am Jewish. I am not.

It is, coupled with the snide remark directed at me. Not big and certainly not clever. Wouldn't be out of place in a playground.

Very good question.

I thought we all wanted the hostages released. A positive enticement to those holding them seems quite a good strategy?

Really? Wow, just wow. You believe that it is all over the media because they are all antisemitic? Every. single. news. outlets?
I am speechless.

Just saw on Twitter “Netanyahu offers immunity to any Gazan who releases the hostages.”

Maybe ask yourself why this is the case.

"Why? Are you only able to give time to one thing at once? "

But you have to concede that the majority of press coverage and protests have been focused on Gaza rather than Sudan.

Also from my own personal perspective I am only able to fully focus / follow on one or two international conflicts at a time.

Maybe ask yourself why this is the case.

Respected by whom? It has a clear bias

Many sensible people. All publications have bias - its inherent in the editorial process, just as you & I do. It doesn't mean the publication doesn't produced well-researched or well-thought through articles. It publishes a wide range of writers and ideas, including journalists from Haaretz and well respected English writers such as David Hirsh though it has been criticised for refusing to publish writers who oppose a two-state solution. Its stated purpose to provide 'an honest and nuanced portrait of Israel as it is, even if not always flattering' and the Fathom lectures are excellent - you would get a lot out of them. I recommend reading their founding statement with its unequivocal support for a 2 State Solution

Hopefully it is true and Sinwar has been eliminated.

However if true I now think it is the perfect time (well earlier would have been better) for Israel to seriously ramp up the amount of aid going into Northern Gaza and if necessary get a third party to assist in the distribution (eg UN) in order to avoid repeats of situations like :

I think Israel should send tenfold the amount of aid, just inundate Gaza. Make it so that if Hamass steals half the aid there is still plenty for the civilians and make it impossible for anyone to profit from selling aid in the markets as we keep seeing. They should be facilitating the hell out of delivery and take the bite and sting out of the terrorists.

From reports, he was killed in a firefight not an airstrike:

Please note the image is quite graphic.
