To clarify, they cover the facts of the matter in a very abstract, passive way - they’ll say that Lebanon is being struck by Israeli missiles and that IDF forces are telling people to leave their homes, but no one will even come close to suggesting that what’s happening is ethnic cleansing.

They’re covering it here in Europe it’s on the news regularly. The problem is that nobody cares in Europe to do anything.

Which is, in all honesty, the correct way to cover news reports.

Believe it or not, all people would have to do to stop the government is as simple as stop watching netflix or buying from amazon: the market would panic and so would the government.

Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.
But Europe doesn’t give a fuck about genocide unless it’s on their soil.

And get pressured and possibly worse by America?

Then let’s sanction america. Why are you such a genocide apologist simp?
BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Oh no, not pressured! I guess you’ll just have to keep supporting genocide

Fair. But if any bloc in the world can do it it’s the European Union. But their members don’t give a shit otherwise they would have by now.
The fact is no one in Europe cares about it. Years, decades, of weasel words and inaction. Years of illegal occupation and ifnoryof UN mandates. Years of on going genocide. But the people dying aren’t white Europeans… oh well too bad for them I suppose?

Stop actively supporting Israel, mostly

There are European nations that send a lot of money to Israel every year. Maybe they can stop doing that?

Many do care but can’t do much about it. Decades of government and capitalism propaganda have empowered authorities beyond control and have make it hard for people to do something outside their work.
