It’s telling that there’s wide spread condemnation of the west for their response to the invasion of Gaza yet no one ever condemns the west for its response to the Uyghur genocide in China, the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, or the Darfur genocide in Sudan.
It’s almost like they don’t actually care about the genocide of Palestinians, or genocide at all, they just want to weaken western countries by creating division and internal conflict.
Maybe they genuinely do care though, and now we’ll start to seeing all these anonymous online voices calling for a strong multinational response to the genocide of Palestinians as well as the genocides being conducted by Chinese and Russian backed states.
The glaring difference is that Israel is armed, funded and given full diplomatic protection by the US and it’s proxies in Europe while legacy Western media faithfully regurgitates Israeli whitewashing and propaganda. That’s not the case for China or Myanmar.
Regardless I’m not sure why that’s relevant. If the US stopped supporting Israel everyone would suddenly start ignoring the Palestinian genocide like we’re supposed to ignore the Chinese and Russian backed genocides?
I think that’s a simplistic take held by many that ignores the political climate in Israel. Netanyahu explicitly stated they’d continue the invasion of Gaza even if all western powers withdrew their support. Netanyahu is backed into a corner by corruption charges and the only way he stays in power and out of jail is with the backing of right wing extremists in Israel. The right wing extremists have a singular goal of creating a single Israeli state in region.
So even if the west were to withdraw support it wouldn’t like change much, maybe instead of conducting the operations with bombs and tanks they’d be using guns and machetes to carry out their genocide like what happened in Rwanda.
The US only has to threaten withdrawing support and Israel backs down. See how limp Netanyahus response to Iran’s attack in April was. Biden didn’t want an escalation so nothing happened.
Israel is finished without the unconditional support of the US and they know it. The only reason they act with impunity is because of the shield the US provides them with.

China absolutely funds and gives diplomatic protection to Myanmar.

If the US stopped supporting Israel then Israel would stop it’s genocide. The two are completely connected.
