The Western "liberal" Establishment's reaction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is marked by a striking contrast. Despite decades of images depicting Palestinian suffering, the Establishment's response has been notably subdued. Additionally, there's been a lack of critical media examination when it comes to Israeli politicians and their usage of the word "condemn" in relation to Israeli actions.
In the recent surge of violence, a clear bias in both the media and the political class has emerged, with limited representation of Palestinian perspectives. It's worth noting that public opinion is more diverse than the Establishment's viewpoint. Furthermore asymmetric warfare often leads the oppressed to adopt tactics similar to their oppressors.
Several people are refraiing from condemning Hamas, focusing instead on criticising the political class for their unified support of "Israel's right to self-defence" while denying Palestinians the same right.
The right to self defense thing is a classic display of the hypocrisy... they use this openly while pretending Palestinians haven't been asking for sovereignty for decades. They are literally living right next to the $hit they helped create but won't dare even acknowledge their neighbor's suffering, let alone admit they have been part of the problem.
