Not sure if it is just racism here in NL or because the Ukraine war is more important for us here since it is a lot closer and more relevant than us.

The bullshit in the US is also something we have a bigger impact on than the war in Gaza even though we will have new elections soon.

Europe isn't doing much either. Especially Germany and Italy stay on Israel's side.

Germany at the very least are very overt about their "unwavering support for Israel" being wholly because they're "the Jewish Nation", which is about the purest Racist motivation possible.

One might claim, as others did, that for the US geostrategical concerns apply, but for Germany the only reason for their support of that nation whilst it murders Palestinian children is the ethnicity of the genociders.

Systemic is an important word to include. Systemic racism.
