France has recorded nearly 1,250 antisemitic acts since the attack.
Among the long list of recent antisemitic acts, Paris prosecutors are investigating an incident on October 31, when buildings in the city and suburbs were daubed with dozens of Stars of David.
They are being judged harshly because of their repeated lack of empathy and their willingness to commit genocide in broad daylight, as if it was their right. They are being judged harshly because children corpses becomes their main export every few years. It’s getting even more media attention because our governments are funding said genocide. There’s also the David vs Goliath angle, where the Israel gov looks like a grown man mercilessly beating on a child.
To imply they are being framed as the bad guys simply because of racism is so far off the mark it’s laughable.
Since 2014, roughly 400,000 people have died in Yemen. 85,000 of those are Children. France, the UK and the US are involved in that war.
Last time I checked, the death toll for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is something like 40,000 since 1948.
And yet if you go on social or traditional media, you’d think it was the other way around.
Currently, Israel is killing civilians and children at a higher rate than Yemen. And yemens population is 16 times that of gaza.
The main thing separating both situations is one country has an army of staunch defender ready at a moments notice to hand wave away corpses.
Do you go into the comment section in articles about Yemen and blame the hate and indignation on racism as well? Why not?
I’ve never seen an article about Yemen discussed here on the fediverse.
Have you?
That’s because there is nothing to discuss. Everybody agrees its fucking terrible.
Why is there always a debate with Israel. What is debatable about making corpses out of children and keeping prison ghettos? Why are you defending them?
I’m not.
I’m pointing out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict gets a disproportionate amount of attention, compared to comparable or significantly worse conflicts.
Do they?
Is ignoring something a sign someone cares a lot about a subject?
It gets more attention because the west is directly arming and throwing bombs at Palestinians. Whereas Yemen is a proxy which is a lot more obscure, and the Saudi’s and Iranians are directly responsible for that one. And the west was condemning Saudi quite a lot lately because they supposedly needed to catch up in human rights.
Seemingly the west decided it was time to stoop down to Saudi’s level though.
I’m saying the conflict gets more attention because there is a side defending the undefendable.
Implying the criticism Israel recieved is because of racism is not only defending them but also rhetoric.
There is always a side defending the indefensible in a war or genocide. Eg. Xinjiang.
There are very good reasons to be critical of Israel.
The level of media attention and debate is however disproportionate, which is at best weird.
I find the amount of people willing to defend Israel’s genocidal apartheid state disporportionate as well as the amount of funds that are giving specifically for it.
It’s a complicated situation and it’s getting media attention for a number of reasons, I mentioned three in my original reply.
Regardless, nonchalantly trying to blame the whole complicated mess on anti-semitism is pure rhetoric.
