WHY, WHY, WHY are the so called World leader so freaking silent about the kidnapping and possible torture of Dr. Abu Safiya?

All their disgusting double standard and fake humanity, their companionate speeches about the Russian Opposition character Navalni or those in Iran, was nothing but political scam to hide their disgusting complicity with the "friendly" criminals like Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia not to forget US or UK.

Your comment reminded me of an essay entitled, "Alex Jones and the kitten burners" which describes some people's need to #hate someone in order to feel good about themselves. And the problems that can lead to.

Written in 2017, but it's even more relevant now (re: #LGBTQ #WomensRights ...).

Text from article: People don’t really believe this, do they? Yes. Yes they do. Well … they want to believe it, and they try their hardest to do so. And they’ve all-but completely convinced themselves that they do. If you ask them, “Do you really believe this?” they won’t be lying when they say yes, because they’ve been convinced that being a good person on the side of good requires them to say yes and to dutifully avoid entertaining any thoughts about any of the obvious evidence or scientific/logistical impossibilities that cause the rest of us to gape at their apparent credulity. But, we protest, how could they believe such malarkey? How could anybody be dumb enough to believe that? That response, while perfectly understandable, is a mistake. It’s not about being dumb, or even about being ignorant. Believing such things is not a matter of anything intellectual or educational. It’s emotional and, ultimately, ethical. People believe such things because they have come to need to believe them. They need to believe them because they need to think of themselves as righteous. Or, at least, they need to feel something like what they imagine it must feel like to be able to think of themselves as righteous. And if that’s what you need to think and what you need to feel, then it won’t matter how smart you are, or how well-educated or well-informed you might be. If you’ve gotten to the point where you need to believe such things, you’ll believe them.
