Look Over There

The World Cop by the grace of God has condescended to notice a genocide, though not the one there's been so much fuss about over the past year or so. For the second time in a generation, paramilitary forces in Sudan are accused of systematic atrocities, in the course of a war in which tens of thousands have been killed, millions displaced and a famine perpetuated. Doubtless contributing to the moral indignation of the World Cop and its clients is the Arab and Muslim persuasion of the militias involved and the more ethnically virtuous persuasion of the victims. Meanwhile the World Cop has denied that the killings, forced removals and famine in Gaza constitute a genocide, presumably on the grounds that the perpetrators are non-Arabs and therefore ineligible for indictment in any court whose jurisdiction could be considered worthy of recognition by the master race.
