What a bizarre and unfounded leap. Your assertion is completely and entirely false.

The median age in Gaza is 18...half the population is literal children because no one lives long enough to grow old. The reality of what Israel is doing to the people in Palestine is not something that can be hidden from and handwaved away any more.

You underestimate people's capacity for handwaving atrocities away, especially when it comes to Muslims

Unfortunately most western states have completely ignored for years the atrocities committed against the people in Palestine. Not allowing these kinds of protests also prevents people in those countries from voicing their rejection of their governments position, making it more difficult for those governments to change their postures.

Putting pressure on Israel's allies is for most people the only way they have to support Palestinians
