      Short answer: it isn’t

      The power structures that make ‘the west’ a bloc in the international system are 100% defending Israel’s genocide.

      We’re giving them weapons, vetoing on their behalf in the UN, denying that the text book genocide going on is a genocide. Netanyahu’s war crimes are as obvious and publicly committed as trump’s money laundering and election subversion, yet biden is pretending that the ICC warrant is unjustified.

      Despite a growing number of brutally beaten protestors, it’s still true to say that the west is supporting israeli war crimes.
