    You didn’t see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.

    In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. There’s a difference. People don’t protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.

      Might have something to do with the fact that Russia was unprovoked. Which is very different than this conflict.

          I assume they were alluding to the kidnapping, raping, beheading, etc perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas, done as a tactical move to draw a disproportionate response from the IDF in order to win the propaganda war.

            And before that Israel so happened to be just ramping up settler violence and assaulting people in Jerusalem trying to get into Al-Aqsa mosque. Totally unrelated. /s
