The West's Weak Response to Israel's Attacks and Russia's War Crimes in Ukraine

The West's response to the conflict between Israel and Gaza has been pusillanimous, with no unreserved moral support for Israel and no blunt condemnation of Islamic Jihad. Unlike the immediate condemnation of Russian violence in Ukraine, there has only been silence in the US and Europe since Islamic Jihad's rockets began to fall on Israel. The IDF takes the greatest possible care to defend its civilians while avoiding unnecessary casualties among civilians in enemy territory, frequently aborting attacks when there is the risk of killing innocent people, and using attack profiles designed to minimise collateral damage even when targeting occupied apartment blocks.
