The whole information infrastructure was also very different. Palestinians can and do film their own deaths daily. We see and abhor daily the cruelty of the israelis murdering them.
And nothing happens.

What they're going to do to immigrants is horrendous enough, but this should be understood more broadly. They've just built a police state that is larger than most country's militaries. The DOJ said de-naturalization is its priority. ICE doesn't need warrants. This is Trump's secret police force.
$171 billion of new funding for immigration enforcement.
that's $45 billion to fund more detention centers
$14 billion to fund state + local law forces collaborating
$30 billion more for ICE
staggering, gigantic figures in the bill that Congress just passed
