New Term 'Gazaholics' Describes Obsession With Israel-Palestine Conflict

Translated & summarized from Channel 9 by baba
The story · English

A new term, "gazaholics," has emerged to describe what the author perceives as a problematic and selective public obsession with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The author argues that this phenomenon reflects a "progressive" public opinion that is pathologically dependent on events in the region.

According to the author, while the loss of life is regrettable, the situation in Gaza does not involve the mass execution of unarmed civilians with machine guns, public hangings on construction cranes, or the widespread repression seen in places like Iran. Despite this, the author contends that those labeled "gazaholics" show no interest in Iran or the plight of other persecuted groups, such as China's Uyghurs, Turkey's and Syria's Kurds, Nigeria's Christians, or Sudan's Masalit people.

The author draws an analogy to an alcoholic who is only interested in strong spirits, not milder beverages like kvass or Schweppes, to illustrate the selective focus of these individuals. The piece was produced and distributed by foreign agent Gallyamov Abbas Radikovich, with the "18+" label added at the author's request to comply with Russian Ministry of Justice requirements. The author maintains a blog on Telegram.
