    "they arent being criticized for their genocide so why should we", this argument is so disingenuous it is impossible for it to not be malicious. If this says anything its that media should stop hyper focusing on one issue at the time cuz multiple bad things can happen at once and infact horrible people generally pick moments of tragedy to do horrible things.

        I was just pointing out that it happens a lot that when something bad happens the ruling class takes the opportunity to do fucked up shit while people are distracted.

        also people care about what the news tells them to care about, and the western media has a habit of not reporting negatively about western allies, which Pakistan is right now, like remember when no one said anything about Saudi Arabia but the second they stopped following every order there was a flood of "Saudi Arabia has a human rights problem" articles, i dont think that Pakistan chose this moment because of israhell but i do think its a bit conspiratorial that the western media doesnt cover it.
