Because Israel is trying to genocide.

They don't care about Hamas, they just want Palestine gone.

That doesn't explain why the rest of the world is ok with it.

We aren't. But anyone that voices an opinion against Israel in my country is labeled an anti-Semite, so people stay quiet.

Also Putin is doing the same, global out rage, no one really stepped in due to politics

Because if you don't support genocide you are an antisemite, and only one of those can destroy your political aspirations (hint, it isn't supporting genocide).

Most civilians aren't but they've found out in 3 weeks time that they live all live in pretend democracies and not real ones. Mask off we're the Russia now.

Ever seen an oil tanker turn? That is the the way the world works with Israel slowly and not quick to judge. The rest of us though have had enough, fuck Israel and no funding of them whatsoever.
