It’s an interesting one to me for two reasons.
\1. Israels allies are culturally and ideologically opposed to what Israel has been doing in the region since WW2. It is imperialistic, subjugating and what the west has been trying to move away from in the layer half of the 20th century. However, it is strategic to them to support Israel so they will continue to bite their tongues and support heir ally.
\2. After the second world war Europe has been very cautious of any nation displaying imperialist intent. The mindset was featured heavily in the Falkland island conflict, etc. With Israel’s obvious intent of expanding their land, especially with Zionist ambition, many strategists in Europe may find themselves thinking of the similarities between 1940s Germany and the current political ideology of the state of Israel.

Not trying to take the side of any one in this conflict since it seems to be such a complete cluster fuck, just trying to understand. How does one go from terrorists attack and kill civilians, take hostages and hide behind other civilians, get attacked indiscriminately by Israel as response, turn into Israel is just looking to expand and conquer just like 40s Germany?
