Definitely. The US isn't likely to like either side given one of them is tight with Iran and the other one has dealings with Russian mercenaries.

@victorz - The "fast"/ big obvious ones are Darfur and Gaza, but there's also probably Oromia, slow genocide in West Papua, Western Sahara, Xinjiang, and I think Nagorny-Karabakh and Tigray could start up again at some point. There is obviously a genocidal component to the Tatmadaw's activities in Myanmar but right now they seem to be getting their asses kicked by the alliance which includes ethnic minority armies.
Then there are the more obscure genocides that are mostly only mentioned outside western and english-language news media, for example the ongoing slow genocide of the Baloch people in the Balochistan region.
Not all armed conflicts are genocides.
Is it naive of me to think American news must have at least reported on the international intervention into the 2004-2005 genocide?
And the separation of Sudan into two countries in 2011? Those were both pretty big; I thought that would be why the person above was calling this an old conflict.
Idk, I've had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can't imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.
It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
No one here has been hearing about it in the news for hundreds of years tho (unless some of you are undead/vampires).
Arguably the roots of the Sudan conflict go back to the 1300s.
But in both cases the modern nation-state conflicts kicked off after the colonization of the 19th centuries, and in both cases most of us have been aware of it for decades.
Ikr! Pretty sure its a reference to the Spanish Inquisition's expulsion of Jewish people in the 1490s.
In other words it's not just super random whataboutism, it's also a dogwhistle to the "chosen people versus antisemitic rest of the world" narrative that Netanyahu et al use to drum up support from their base.
in a major blow to the American-led effort to create ~~a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave~~
in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.
Fixed it for them.
They would select for skills needed for that film eg running underfoot on cue. They would also likely be trying to match cats with doppelgangers.
For example, here's Ian McKellan talking about 4 identical cats on the set of Apt Pupil each of whom had particular skills needed for the scene where he kills a cat:
This was the day of the Cats - there were four identical ginger toms. The docile cat which could be thrown and shaken and swung in the air and just miaowed for more. The cat which could move to order. A third who could eat on cue. Then there was the feral cat only to be approached by its trainer, wearing an armoured glove! All feline manouevres were achieved by the bribe of edible paste, overseen by an animal rights official, who was on set to protect the 4 pussies.

‘You play the cards you’re dealt’: is Viggo Mortensen Hollywood’s most versatile star?

It is pretty bad. The part where the Mossad guy "ambushed" the judge in a hotel room is blatant intimidation.
