Yea it's been pretty lib seeing people act like Israel is a unique evil but like no, so many countries in the West have already done just as bad or worse but with infinitely better PR
It's really more the horrifying spectacle of it. In Vietnam people had access to rapid or sometimes even live TV news about what was happening in the war, and it changed public opinion drastically. Same with TikTok now. It's hard to swallow any of Israel's bullshit when you've seen footage of children screaming with bones sticking out of their mangled legs, crying near-skeletal because they can't stand the unending pain of starving to death, plastic bags of 70kg of shredded meat each being counted as a person and whatnot.
