I donât think this is unique at all, itâs the core of all politics both left, right, authoritarian, liberal, etc. No matter what you believe, even if itâs nothing, there are always twice as people against you than with you. Itâs enough to make someone withdraw entirely.
Comment on It was in self-defence đ

You didnât see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.

In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. Thereâs a difference. People donât protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.

I assume they were alluding to the kidnapping, raping, beheading, etc perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas, done as a tactical move to draw a disproportionate response from the IDF in order to win the propaganda war.
