Why, despite irrefutable evidence of the horrors that are happening on an daily basis in Gaza, some people are still excusing/ agreeing with what the Israeli government and the IDF are doing?
I cannot comprehend it.

I have been on here the last week or so discussing this quite a bit. I can only really count on one hand the amount of pro Israel posters so I don’t think it’s very common.

Everyone in real life is absolutely disgusted by this. And I don’t live in a bubble. I have friends and family across all classes, all sectors and all political affiliations. I am proud to say I have a 100% track record on predicting elections and am good at reading the zeitgeist.

In the west there is prejudice against Muslims as demonstrated by our recent PM Johnson, and also towards people of colour. I think this is why people in the west accept the killing of civilians in such large numbers.

The impression I get is that the Israeli government are not held in high esteem actually (some pro Israel posters will happily admit they are part of the problem) however they feel that Israel must do what is necessary to get rid Hamas. Ultimately they tend to blame Hamas for civilian deaths.
