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.

    I’m not.

    I’m pointing out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict gets a disproportionate amount of attention, compared to comparable or significantly worse conflicts.

    That’s because there is nothing to discuss. Everybody agrees its fucking terrible.

    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.
