@GaytonMcK This Gayton is a terrible judge of character. We have eyes and we can read and hear. We saw what’s going on with Infantino now Gayton is here to caution us.

Hundreds of residents in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta gathered to oppose a planned far-right anti-migrant rally, forcing organisers to cancel the event amid heightened tensions following a temporary influx of migrants crossing from Morocco.

People are allowed to care deeply about one human rights crisis without first issuing a press release on every other atrocity on Earth.

You can speak about the international human rights flashpoints that matter most to you. That doesn't mean you are indifferent to the rest. It means you're human.

When I raised my voice against gender-based violence, it didn't mean I didn't care about food insecurity. When I spoke out against corruption, it didn't mean I was indifferent to drug abuse. We all choose where we can make a meaningful contribution. No one has the capacity to be everywhere, every day, speaking about everything.

Yet somehow, Israel's most ardent defenders insist that unless you have an equal-opportunity outrage portfolio, your criticism of Israel's actions is invalid. It is an intellectually dishonest standard that they apply almost nowhere else. For many of us, Gaza is the defining moral test of our time.

Rwanda was that test in 1994. Humanity failed. Srebrenica was that test in 1995. Apartheid was that test for decades. Darfur was that test in 2003, and Sudan still demands our attention today. The persecution of the Rohingya has been another such test.
People did speak. People still do speak. The record exists for anyone prepared to look.

The accusation that "you only care about Gaza" is not a serious argument. It is whataboutism. It is a tactic designed to move the conversation away from Israel's conduct and onto the supposed inadequacies of its critics.

NO! NO!
We are entitled to judge Israel by its actions. We are entitled to listen when members of its own leadership make public statements about their genocidal intentions. We are entitled to condemn conduct we believe violates international law and basic human decency. We do not need permission to do so. Atleast I DON'T!

And let's stop pretending this is just another conflict. Few states command the level of international lobbying, diplomatic protection, information warfare, political pressure, and organised campaigns against critics that surround Israel. That extraordinary global footprint is one reason the scrutiny is extraordinary too.

So spare us the outrage about where our attention is directed. Our attention is right where it ought to be! And it will remain there for as long as Israel and its allies and supporters continue to unleash their GLOBAL bullying on us.

Some sisterly advice from me to tou:

If Sudan matters to you, speak!
If Myanmar matters to you, speak!
If Congo matters to you, speak!
If Ukraine matters to you, speak!

But do not demand that the rest of us earn the right to speak about Gaza by first solving every injustice on the planet. That's a rubbish argument.

And it won't work.
