Step back and there's a much larger scale of evil going on. Not excusing Israel's actions at all, but there are horrific things going on all over the world that are mostly ignored.

It's very convenient for the evil-doers that every progressive has been laser-focused on Israel.

It was very convenient for the evil-doers to get Trump and his buddies back in the White House. Very convenient.
