The Western world yet again fails to live up to its moral pedestal

That’s not the distinction you should be making.
It’s sad that any bad sentiment towards the Zionist regime is getting conflated with antisemitism. You don’t have to hate Jewish people to hate an apartheid state dead-set on ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Similarly, you don’t have to like how Hamas operates to sympathize with their goal of overthrowing said apartheid state.
Being anti-israel is the only moral position.
Antizionism is NOT the same as antisemitism. Anyone that propagates this nonsense is a chimp head. Zionists are not the same as all Jews, and rabbis have often protested against them and this western notion openly.
I guess France’s state position is pro-apartheid and in support of multi-decade ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, then. Which, you know… tell me some thing new :(
The good news is that people in the world, as a whole, seem to be viewing this differently now than in the past. It’s the governments more than anything that are calling for blood. This suggests to me that the next generation of leaders might behave differently.
Until the next generation of leaders ends up sharing the same class interests as the old. It’s not an accident that all the western leaders are pro colonial project and pro genocide. Crushing and exploiting the global south is absolutely required for the continued functioning of the western hegemony and the enrichment of its elites.
I really do believe that Gen Z is different, though. People are people and there is a variety of opinion out there, but as a whole, they really feel different to me. They aren’t looking at the world through greedy and materialistic eyes the way previous living generations did.
I’d noticed the same and was pleasantly surprised.
When this all broke out one my first thoughts was whether the post 9/11 experience would provide some balance in the west that would otherwise have been lacking. I feel like that might be true to an extent.
Even the national public news here is now posting fairly balanced articles and certainly doesn’t toe our government’s “pro israel no matter what” line. I was pleasantly surprised.

France’s position from the very beginning has been pro-genocide/apartheid. They were always a smaller brother of the giant coloniser Britain.
Fuck France and their bed bugs anyway.
