    Israel is the West’s last great colonial settler project so there has always been a predilection to turning a blind eye to international law in relation their geopolitical affairs. Far right authoritarians are often chummy with Netanyahu because he is living their colonial dream of genocide and displacement.

    Why do they control what people say? I’m not sure it goes that far. But the cultural bias apparently runs deep enough in the West to ruin people’s lives over it if they dissent.

      Pretty sure that’s the sole purpose of the Anti-Defamation League

        Virtually is in this case. US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and many more countries literally defend Isreali’s right to starve children to death in front of our eyes. Violemtly and vehemently. All of the heavy hitters. Who in the west stands opposed? Maybe a tepid Spain? A few hundred years removed from relevance?

          All of these countries have either publicly condemned Israel or outright banned arms sales to them.

          Pretty much everyone except America. Why do you think this is just a “west” issue?
