Gosh a "moral deterioration" in the genocidal ethnosupremacist apartheid state.

Even when corporate media is directly criticising Israel they do with the thickest kid gloves they can find.

That's because the topic is so politically and emotionally charged, even the nicest way of addressing it will be met with enough tamper tantrums to make advertisers and other stakeholders at least uncomfortable.

And nobody would want to make rich corpos and rich people owning rich corpos uncomfortable, right?

Is Israel just really bad at genocide or am I missing something?

Because Israel has been trying to genocide the Palestinians for at least a decade and a half according to this infographic, and according to others since the creation of the current state of Israel in 1948 (which is really just an indigenous population returning to their millennial-long ancestral home) and the Palestians are are not only there, but the population is growing.

Yes, let's just forget all the history about how the Jews were scattered during various occupations over the last 3000-4000 years.

Canaanites, Phoenicians, Amaleks, Egyptians have just as much if not more of a historic right to the land of Palestine.

In any event Ashkenazis have no genetic lineage to Palestine or even the Middle East.

Israel only exists because of British imperialism, settler colonialism, and US protection.

Israel existed long before America or England were nation states.
