Why is this conflict so much more interesting than any other conflict in the world? Why are jews so divisive and we need a separate word for hate against them? I'm not defending them, btw, just wondering why they generate so much emotion. Probably the support of the US is a big part of it. Then the matter of how asymmetric the conflict is, if it was a ‘fair fight’ so to speak, with a similar ability (rather than will) to commit atrocity on both sides, perceptions would likely be different. Then you’ve got the whole history and rationale for such a state in the first place, a sort of sense that if any people should know better from their own history to avoid pitfalls of oppression, Israelis would be right up there. Plus, Israel being a democracy and having a significant liberal tradition as well. To the degree that oppression in a theocracy, or civil war in a failed state is less ‘newsworthy’ because well, that’s just what happens in such scenarios. It is worth noting that at least in my neck of the woods (UK, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland), the wider conflict was much less prominent versus others worldwide prior to Israel’s response to October 7th. At least in terms of the more general public, it has been quite a prominent one amongst people who tend to being very into political activism on the regular. Would generally be reasons I’ve seen that this particular conflict gets a lot of attention. Outside of anti-Semitism of course, which is obviously a factor for some (probably many) too. My crude understanding for anti-Semitism being its own term is because one was needed I suppose. It’s not a wholly racial scourge, or an ethnic one, nor a religious one. Which makes sense, although it is of course lamentable that the term even has need of existing. | ||
