The reason is Western support. Most of the rest of the world is familiar with Western “morality” but within Western society there is constant messaging along the lines of “we are the freest, openest, most accepting” yadda yadda while also supporting/bankrolling genocide and facing no moral accountability for it.
Don’t get me wrong, this happens everywhere but it is particularly impactful when it’s perpetuated by the most disproportionately wealthy part of the world (due to colonial exploitation).
Its a profound two facedness but most non Westerners are used to it by now.
There is zero good reason Israel isn’t treated like the rogue nuclear pariah state it is.
It should be like the North Korea of the Middle East
The reason is US support and to a lesser extent support from countries like Germany.

hopefully, it is becoming one…
not hopefully, because that means Israel will double down in it’s racism.
Idk how much further they can double down when +80% of their shithole of a country support the genocide of Palestinians.
