10. It's shocking, isn't it?

It's masks off for our Western, democratic "civilization". We talk a good talk, but...

Our rhetoric doesn't match our behaviours. It's noted by the people of the Global South, China etc. Next time we preach to them about "human rights" and "equality" blah blah they will remind us of our hypocrisy. We've lost whatever moral authority we still had.

The press should be giving more attention to Palestinian voices too. It owes it to them, the press carried the IDF and Israel's water, far beyond when they should have known better. Yes, opposing Jewish voices too, and of course would carry more weight.
