Political correctness, old antisemitic habits and the real world

According to UN and the World Public Opinion the most and severest danger for the World peace is coming from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Anti-Semitism rises around the world almost as waves of Tsunami after the 2nd Lebanon war and the IDF operation in Gaza Strip.

The number of Human casualties in both military conflicts reached about 3000 Lebanese and Palestinians and 160 Israelis (Jews and Arabs) all together. The World was astonished with such heavy losses of Arab lives and especially with the disproportion comparing to the Israeli casualties. Palestinian leaders and their Iranian, Venezuelan and Turkish supporters talked about the Genocide conducted by the Israelis and the Humanitarian crisis in Gaza. World leaders were alarmed and promised to give billions of dollars for helping the suffering Palestinians.

Of course, there are also many voices reminding the sources of the Arab-Israeli conflict and talking about the Israel's right to defend itself against Palestinian terrorist actions. But the Political correctness and not the truth is in favor among the majority off the World's media that prefers to blame the winning Jews, who are defending themselves, and to justify the losing Arab terrorists, who are attacking the Israeli civil population.

Both Jews and Arabs had invented new methods of fighting the enemy, very specific and characteristic to their approach to the Human lives:

- Arabs are using their own civil population as a Human shield to protect their fighters who are shelling with bombs the Israeli towns and villages, because they know that the Jews will try to do everything not to harm innocent people;

- Jews are calling to the phones in hundred thousands of the enemy houses to inform that their vicinity is going to be attacked because the terrorists are using these houses for shelling the rockets and bombs to the Israeli towns and villages.

The feeling of such situation is as we are living in a non-real and totally corrupted cynical world. The problem is that such feeling reflects the correct picture of our world.
Now let's go to the reality and take a look only on one ongoing example that almost nobody in the World is talking about or even mentioning it. No, this time it isn't about Darfur, Somali, Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s about the Democratic Republic of Congo. The article presented here is from 2006, but the only difference in ourdays is in rising numbers of the civil population casualties. The World continue to be busy with the suffering Palestinians and has no time for such minor problems as killing fields of Africa.

A study in the January 7 edition of The Lancet claims that the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo is killing as many as 38,000 people each month, largely by magnifying the levels of malnutrition and preventable disease in that country.
Based on surveys conducted in 19,500 homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo conducted from April-July 2004, the researchers concluded there were an excess of 600,000 deaths during that period that would not have occurred in the absence of the civil war.
An estimated 4 million people have died in the DRC since fighting began in 1998.
By the Lancet’s measure, the civil war in DRC is the single deadliest humanitarian crisis in the world at the moment, and yet receives comparatively little coverage or focus. As the study’s lead author Richard Brennan told the BBC,
Congo is the deadliest crisis anywhere in the world over the past 60 years. Ignorance about its scale and impact is almost universal and international engagement remains completely out of proportion to humanitarian need.
The backdrop of DRC’s civil war goes back to the Hutu/Tutsi conflict that led to genocide in Rwanda in 1994. Fearing that Congo leader Mobutu Sese Seko was not doing enough to stop Hutus in the DRC that Rwanda believe were planning attacks against Tutsis, Rwanda and Uganda backed Laurent Kabila’s successful coup against Mobutu. When Kabila turned on his supporters and attempted to expel Rwanda military forces in 1998, a civil war developed that soon involved 9 African nations in what has been called Africa’s world war.
There have been a series of truces and cease-fires, but violence has proceeded largely unabated.
