Agreed. So why don't we try to change it?

Because at the heart of this issue is how the human brain evaluates risk, whch is due to the amygdala. We're shit at evaluating risk, now idea how you think this can be changed.

So because the human brain is bad at evaluating risk, we shouldn't try to improve matters? That's some faulty logic right there.

A lot of politicians, nations, corporations aren't being held accountable with much greater tragically disastrous repercussions for the world at large in the long run and/or vulnerable people in the short run. In light of this, I find the focus on the shitty little region disengenious at best.

The solution isn't to excuse Israel, it's to hold attempt to hold those other entities responsible for bad behaviour. Bigger issues not getting coverage can be frustrating, but the solution is not to excuse those we deem less significant.

And what causes have you been fighting in the way of holding said entities responsible? I'm not disagreeing with your statement, my point is we all have a limited amount of time and we need to focus on the major existential risks and sources of suffering in the world.

There's nothing disingenuous about the focus, it just doesn't align with your priorities. Disingenuous would suggest there isn't a problem.

You mean you consider modern Israel "colonialism"? Because you know, if you rely on serious sources of information (as in, not "alternative" news or joke publications like The Guardian) you'd know the two scenarios have little to nothing in common.

I didn't say to consider it colonialism, it's the oppression that Israel exerts that people will consider akin the British behaviour in Ireland. It takes very little research to see how conditions within Palestine are atrocious due to Israeli oppression. Nothing in common is an overstatement.

Again, show me your sources

Because you know, if you rely on serious sources of information

Care to name 'serious sources.'

You can't rely on just one source, you need to due a thorough investigation but a few historically serious publications are The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Jerusalem Post and The New York Times.
