Because it’s a fascist, Western settler-colonial state that is committing genocide as we speak, and has been ethnically cleansing the indigenous peoples for the last eighty or so years.
There exist settled colonies apart from that.
Nothing when europe did its jazz party worldwide, when all the ‘-istan’ countries happened over a long period of ‘peaceful times’, when more ‘recently’ Pakistan and Bangladesh played the “sike, I dont want you” with Hindus? Or when Papua new Guinea was and is being settled on by Indonesia, funded by the obvious
Hell closest to you probably (idk if youre american), gold rush fucked every native over (Lakotah). tribes in America (also Lakotah 2007) and Australia (Muruwari 2013) wanted their own country, UN said no. Trust me, UN doesn’t care, all it ever does is write a strongly worded letter when everyone starts glaring.
Is the issue here that they are being too hasty? Doing it too fast? Or the fact that news is easily accessible and people get to say things online for nothing to get done on ground level?
I am really confused about this mostly useless silent protest

So the issue is the settler colonial or the genocide? Cuz both have historically been not cared about
Both have historically not been cared about by whom? The BDS movement is almost twenty years old. The UN General Assembly has been continually reaffirming the Palestinian people’s right to armed struggle against their oppressors over 50 years. Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish American son of two Holocaust survivors, has been writing about this ever since his doctoral thesis in 1988.
