They are more relatable to westerners, and are more sellable news. This isn't some antisemitic thing.

There is enough real antisemitism that we should focus on instead of causing people to dismiss it with fake outrage.
Bingo.

To that point, I guess it would be equally interesting as to why the people posting this stuff about Israel didn’t post the same stuff about Russia/Ukraine. Nobody was talking about all the Muslims being killed every year when Russia invaded Ukraine. No, it’s clear that the identity of who is being killed seems to matter a lot more than the killing itself.

I’m sure that game seems a lot less fun when it casts aspersions on the people who have gotten used to being the ones doing the casting.
