They're farther down the hierarchy of nation state needs than where you need to be to be in order to call out someone like China.
So they all shit on Israel because it's the only "local enough we could conceivably do something about it" problem they can all agree on.
- joelbluminator 5y agoI think you're simplifying it by a lot. Israel is not about "being able to do anything about" (they arguably can't do much about Israel in the sense of destroying it or changing it's policy). If that was the explanation they wouldn't call out the U.S (or sometimes Europe), yet they do (e.g Mohammed Cartoons). The geography is also not a good explanation. The Mohammed Cartoons, which happened in Denmark, made Muslims go out to the streets all throughout the world. My explanation for "why Israel" is another comment on this thread.
