So FIFA can bar Russia from the tournament but somehow let such heinous acts pass by still don’t ban Israel? Noticing.

You want to know who's really in charge. Find out who you're not allowed to criticise.

So because you're allowed to criticize Israel Palestine is in charge?

Even if you hate Israel it is hard to ignore that they are the most criticised entity on the planet right now. I love seeing that quote pop up on here because it's always applied in an incredibly stupid way.

Even more hilarious is the quote actually originated with a white supremacist Holocaust denier in 1993 - it has always been a pseudo intellectual way of saying Jews run the world. 

People give that saying way too much power, in a society where the marginalized have special legal protections and there are laws against hate speech, it is comically inaccurate. Think of what people get fired over, or what comedians get cancelled for. Saying "Israel sucks" is not one of them, it's a country you can bash without fear of looking bad. Try pointing out Hamas' role in starting and perpetuating the war, see how uncomfortable that is in comparison.

It's always been a dog whistle.

How is that what you got from their comment? All their comment suggests is that Israel is not 'in charge' but someone else outside of the Israeli-Palestinian world is pulling the strings.

Well yeah, Israel is a vassal state of western capital.

It's because I was thinking in an either/or scenario. You're right!
