I mean, some 700.000 people were kicked off their land right after the Holocaust ended to establish Israel, so this blindness has been present since day 1.
Conflict between Palestine and Israel escalates

It's always different when it's "our" side doing it. By comparison, as fascism has become the modern bogeyman, modern fascists accuse their opponents of it.
Well, there is a narration that mostly concentrates on how horrible it was and what the victims experienced and little on the perpretrators and what led them to do it. In a sense it is to be expected to concentrate on the side one identifies with but them the whole holocaust gets told as culmination of general millenia old antisemitism all over the world and the main lesson becomes "jews are only safe in their own nation which is why Israel is the solution" instead of "facism is bad".
Israel will no longer approve Unrwa food aid to northern Gaza, agency says
Head of agency says military authorities told UN that convoys will no longer be approved amid ‘man-made famine’
www.theguardian.com
Head of the UNRWA has said Israel will no longer allow any aid to Northern Gaza. Aid had already been perilously low, and Northern Gaza is currently at risk of famine.
A UN ceasefire resolution has finally passed, which also calls for the immediate release of hostages. The US abstained because it doesn't condemn Hamas.
It also notably demands a ceasefire, unlike the US resolution previously.
It also demands the unconditional release of all hostages. It does not define who is considered a hostage; are the various men, women, and children held indefinitely by Israel under 'administrative detention'-- without any formal charge-- hostages?
Israeli "commission" on 7 October rape claims exposed as fraud
New York Times debunks its own reporting of alleged sexual violence by Hamas.
They're taught a pretty warped version of 'never again'. We generally accept the sentiment to be that the world should never allow that to happen again.
They're running with a weaponised version which amounts more to a 'never again, to us. At any cost'.
I said we accept the sentiment. Whether it's often just lip service is an entirely different matter.
I Calculated How Much of My Money the U.S. Sent to Kill Palestinians. You Can Too.
As Israel continues its relentless war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, I calculated roughly how much of my U.S. taxes went to Israel.

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts
Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid, including military support. That aid has come under heightened scrutiny amid Israel’s monthslong war to eliminate Hamas.
www.cfr.org
The United States cannot provide security assistance to foreign governments or groups that commit gross human rights violations, a red line enshrined in the so-called Leahy Law. Moreover, the Biden administration announced in February 2023 that it would not provide arms to recipients deemed likely to commit serious human rights violations. Some legal scholars and other critics have alleged that the United States has not applied the Leahy Law with regard to Israel as it has with other Middle Eastern countries.

The F-35s I get, as those carry fewer bombs, so if it had been the F-15EX it would have been a bad idea, and the 500-pound bombs aren't that bad those are mainly meant to deter the Shia Crescent led by Iran and have to be more precise.
But really 1800 2000lb bombs, the same ones that I see on War Thunder blowing up modern main battle tanks, and if used enough aircraft carriers. The ones the IDF is known to lob at Palestinian buildings.
What a bad idea.
