The way the world turns a blind eye to these war crimes is horrendous.
Hardly turning a blind eye. But one wing of western media is covering it as spectacle, like Israel and Palestine/Lebanon are a couple of wrestlers slapping it out for our horrified amusement. Another wing is going whole hog on the bigotry, insisting Arab Muslims are all sicko terrorist infidels and heavily armed cockroaches, and that they need to be wiped off the face of the earth once and for all.
In either case, the idea that Israel should stop (or be stopped) is never treated seriously. You either get to treat this as a period drama or as a revenge fantasy. But its a show that must go on.
