What in Nirvana Am I Witnessing?

I am taking a brief break from writing my critical thinking lectures, but I suppose I can't catch a break from humanity's vitriol.
Dear people.
The man in the photo is smoking a cigarette with a statue. That is one of the most mundane non-events to be documented and reported worldwide in human history. Have your priorities gone completely haywire?
The absolute worst that has happened following the insignificant vandalism incidents and now this photo, is a handful of offended Lebanese Christians.
Let me give you a stern reminder that at this moment, the Christians in Sudan and Nigeria are having a tiny bit more trouble than the minor inconvenience of being offended by random rogue individuals.
A genocide is taking place in Sudan and Nigeria, perpetrated by Muslims, and aiming to destroy the Christian community among other non-Muslim communities.
The Perplexity summary I linked to claims that none of the sources "confirm this is a genocide against Christians," but this has to do with artificial intelligence' inherent bias for academic consensus. I specifically asked Perplexity to avoid citing the United Nations, because it's nothing more than a Jihadist network cosplaying as a human rights organization[1]. This gave slightly less misleading results, but either way, the consensus bias is blatantly obvious.
Academic consensus means an agreement between multiple people, usually people who claim to be "field experts"; whether this agreement matches the truth, and whether these people have any idea what they are talking about, is what actually matters. That is the problem with prioritizing consensus over epistemological analysis.
If a genocide is the targeted, intentional erasure of a people based on their national, cultural, and/or religious identity, like what Hitler did to Jews just last century; and violently overthrowing Christianity, Judaism, polytheist religions, etc. is quite literally a mandate in the Quran itself[3], there is no room for "consensus" that the actions of Muslim factions in those territories are not, in fact, a genocide.
But before we get swept up in the undeniable crisis taking place in Africa, which I will explore in-depth in a future article, I must pivot back to Israel and the war against terrorism.
Where's the global outrage, or all the Sudan/Nigeria flotillas? We have countless Gaza flotillas with literal terrorists and their apologists on them[2]. And while these clowns are busy dressing up as terrorists doing provocative TikTok dances, and in general attempting to breach an internationally legal Israeli water blockade multiple times, they haven't exhaled so much as a single breath in solidarity with all the African people being slaughtered.
No Jews No News has never ringed harder. When a fabricated, hallucinated "genocide" that never happened in Gaza[4] provides a "socially acceptable" opportunity to spit all over Jews, why would any racist antisemite care about African people? This was never about "Christian safety in Israel" or any "women and children." People simply wanted to start spreading their Neo Nazi memes online, as well as their violent hatred towards Jews.
I'm not bringing up Sudan and Nigeria to claim that I think vandalism is morally correct - this is not a whataboutism. I am saying that while the world is busy demonizing Israel and "da Jooz" over three fucking minor incidents that led to a group of "offended Lebanese Christians," their silence on the systematic atrocities in Sudan and Nigeria is deafening and reveals their Special Pleading bias and double standards.
And this isn't some random obscure factoid I just learned about the other day. This is a very long-lasting and well-documented genocide in Africa.
What's the world outraged about? An IDF soldier took a photo. He just put a cigarette in the mouth of a marble sculpture.
Dear people, do I need to remind you that 18 to 21-year-olds can do stupid shit sometimes? Is that how low the bar is now?
Stop demonizing Israel and get a better hobby.

[3] Islam has a Quranic mandate to erase all non-Islamic religions. The citations are from the Quran itself, as well as Islamic legal works (e.g., Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i fiqh manuals):
Perplexity provides a comprehensive summary of specific Quranic verses proving this. Most notably:
- Sura 9:29 (Jizya and "subjugation")
- Sura 8:39 ("Total Equality and Uniformity")
- Dar al‑Harb and Dar al‑Islam - the "material motivation" for aggression against Israel.
It's important to stress that Perplexity utilizes a "historical context" argument, which is a common apologetic move to claim the verse only applied to the Pagans of Mecca. However, from a forensic and classical standpoint, the "anti-polytheism" mandate is the core of the verse.
- The Definition of Fitnah: In classical exegesis (Tafsir), including the highly authoritative Tafsir ibn Kathir, the word fitnah in 8:39 is explicitly defined as Shirk (associating partners with God/polytheism).
- The Universal Mandate: The verse commands fighting until "the religion, all of it, is for Allah." In formal logic, if the goal is "all of it," there is no structural room for polytheistic pluralism.
- The "Islam or the Sword" Distinction: In Islamic law (Fiqh), there is a categorical difference between "People of the Book" (who can pay Jizya) and polytheists. For the latter, classical doctrine historically offered no Dhimma (protection) status - only conversion or combat.
