We have been saying that Israel is a moral and legal hazard to the entire world as it rallied its allies to throw out all resemblance of a rule based international order recognizing such basic human rights like not being slaughtered and having access to basic food, water and medicine.

So is Turkey.

But the guilt for colonialism and belligerent Christianity apparently lies so heavy on Westerners, that they are ready to absolve it with the blood of Christians never involved in those.

It's an especially disgusting kind of virtue signalling to combine being against Israel, but for Turkey and Azerbaijan.

What are you talking about? Israel and Azerbaijan are allies. Azerbaijan sells its oil and gas to Israel and Israel granted it the "right" to exploit the gas fields in front of Gaza they want to steal. Israel supplied Azerbaijan with drones so it can slaughter Armenians.

And Turkey did not put the UN Charta through a shredder or demanded the world to attack UN institutions. Also Turkey does not demand its allies to cheer it on for its crimes.

I know they are allied, Israel and Turkey are not really that hostile between themselves too.

It's about how optics of all this work on general Western audiences.

I agree Turkey relies less on such corruption. Azerbaijan is pretty similar to Israel in that regard, though. They just don't need loud approval when silent approval does the job.
