I've been seeing this kind of argument increasingly often from Israel's defenders and I have to say "Look at this other horrific atrocity that might be even worse than the one we're doing, but gets far less coverage in the US media" is a terrible defense. If that's the best Israel can come up with, and they continue down the path they are on, their western support will be gone before they know it.

To take this example, the Azerbaijani president didn't talk the American one into a major shit show of a war; one that is materially harming American lives. The Azerbaijani government doesn't run a major political influence operation in the US, spending 10s of millions of dollars against candidates for the sin of mildly criticizing them. The Azerbaijani government doesn't receive anything close to the level of military, diplomatic, and financial support from the US that Israel gets. The Azerbaijani prime minister didn't give an address to the US Congress to undermine a major foreign policy agreement, one which has only looked better in hindsight.

So no, it's not at all weird that the citizens of the US care more about Israeli committed atrocities than Azerbaijani ones. The US is far more involved with Israel's actions and has far more influence over them, influence that has so far not been used to try and alleviate the suffering in Gaza.

Yes, that was an atrocity. What does that have to do with what Israel is doing? We shouldn't be ok with atrocities just because worse atrocities that dont get as much media coverage exist.

Lots of countries condemned it. Maybe you're just not paying attention?

The Biden administration paused diplomatic relations, put out public states condemning it, and more.

In fact, Azerbaijan came out and complained about the US's "biased" stance against it.

Azerbaijan did that with 70% Israeli weapons! BFFs learn from one another

So you're agreeing the Israelis are shit, and then adding another example of someone else also committing war crimes.

DOES NOT MAKE THIS OKAY YOU CLOWN

TL;DR: "Azerbaijan's genocide is better than Israel's genocide because they keep the homes".

What an argument.

This is a typical Israeli harbara pattern. Oh, you anti-semite, I see you are ignoring this other non-Israeli genocide.

Save it.
