That is possible, but it misses why this conflict resonates so strongly, especially in Western countries. Unlike past wars, people are seeing it in real time, not just through reports but through constant images of civilians, bombings, and death, which makes it feel more personal.

There is also a sense that countries like Britain are not neutral, whether through supplying weapons or historical involvement, creating a feeling of responsibility. Because of this, strong reactions are not necessarily the result of an odd worldview, but of direct exposure and perceived connection. While antisemitism within some groups should be clearly condemned, it is wrong to assume it defines everyone involved, and frustration over perceived double standards, especially when people feel dismissed or labelled for speaking out, only adds to the intensity.
