A perpetual novice to this space.
Ultimately, it shows how little these core countries of the global northwest care. When respecting the memories of the Nazi Genocide fits them, they will be against genocide; when it doesn't, they won't - it's just sad to see those pro-Israeli Jews who are willing to tag along.

That's the power of the Apartheid framework. You don't need history. You don't need to evoke the Balfour Declaration, or even 1948. "They did that and we did that". None of that. Two guys, side by side, one has rights, the other no rights. Separate and Unequal. Can't be justified.

The bombs have already fallen, and more can come at any moment. So yes, pointing out that the Israeli government walked headfirst into this threat is more crucial than asserting primary clear moral tautologies.
