I suspect there's unconscious racism going on. Along the lines of:Arabs are primitive wogs; you can't be surprised when they go sending off missiles, making women cover themselves, train suicide bombers, use schools to launch missiles, etc. But Israelis are like us. They're Europeans (code for "they're white"). How can they allow these innocent women and children to be killed and maimed? No need to point out the massive illogic of the italicized text, including that Ashkenazim are now a minority in Israel. But I really think a lot of Europeans think that way. PS. Some of this happens in the US too. Why was there so little outrage over Rwanda? Why is there so little outrage over killings in India, Myanmar, and other places? The "no need to be particularly outraged, it's just what you'd expect from those low lifes" view is quite prevalent. |
