People are concerned about Palestine because we're the ones doing it indirectly. It's not US or European troops on the ground, but it's almost entirely funded by the US and Europe and our governments fully support it and help it to keep going. Whereas the war in Sudan, while also very bad, isn't our fault. Maybe if we could get our own governments to stop bombing little children, after that we could consider intervening to stop other governments from bombing little children, but as it is, we can't even get past step 1.
Has Sudan also been going on 70 years with the help of the Brits and active funding of the Americans, then? Have hundreds of thousands died in any country and even more expelled (ethnically cleansed) in the world since 1948 apart from Palestine? No? Then your whataboutism is childish and your deflection is obvious.
Why blame only west for the war in Palestine and not themselves or the Iran,Saudis and rest of the middle east? Or even their religious history about that place.
The only "whataboutism" is you downplaying the genocide in Ukraine,when the first comment wasnt even trying to compare both tragedies.

What? Seriously?! It isn’t even in the top ten!
The partition of India. Zanzibar. Nigeria. The Khmer Rouge. The Cultural Revolution. The invasion and annexation of Tibet. Indonesia. Bangladesh. Rwanda. Idi Amin. The Kurds. Srebrenica. Biafra. The Khmer Rouge. Guetemala. The Cultural Revolution. The invasion and annexation of Tibet. Guatemala. Indonesia. Rwanda. Uganda. The Kurds. Srebrenica. Off the top of my head.
This sort of extremist ignorant activism hurts the people one claims to be protecting, because once exaggeration is shown it’s easier to dismiss the whole thing.
If Ukrainians are Nazis,then so is Russia,US and rest of the World,since you'll find weirdos with extreme beliefs in every country.
The same way you can just call Palestinians terrorists because they killed bunch of people in Europe decades ago and celebrated the 9/11 and Charlie Hebdo attacks.
