#Palestine / UN's Srebrenica recognition amidst Gaza genocide: double standard when it’s about Muslim lives
The recognition of the #Srebrenica #genocide is criticized for its timing, almost 30 years after the event, amidst the ongoing genocide in #Gaza. The recognition feels performative and serves to legitimize the ongoing violence against Palestinians, rather than genuinely addressing the issue of genocide.
Critics argue that this timing suggests a double standard, prioritizing the commemoration of past atrocities while seemingly ignoring the current genocide in Palestine. It’s not surprising that the involvement of countries like #Germany, which supports the Srebrenica resolution while simultaneously supplying weapons to #Israel, further fuels this criticism.
