World to Jews: We Don't Care About YouThis title, self-evidently true on its face, got me thinking about other groups which could make a valid similar claim. It turns out there are lots of groups in difficulty about whom nobody seems to give a damn.
In no time I came up with the Kurds, the Armenians and the Romany or Gypsies. You could add the Straits Chinese to this list, and the Yazidis. How about the Middle East's Christians and those Muslim refugees from Myanmar?
There are lots of "inconvenient" groups around the globe. They are often migrants, sometimes autochthonous peoples. What they have in common is no serious sponsorship by a significant faction of the world community.
Israel once had a sponsor - the U.S. - but has none at the moment. It's a "moment" that lasts until at least January, 2017.
