Why do you think the western public was more receptive to imperial propaganda for the russo-ukrainian war then for the israel-palestine war? (hexbear.net)

Damn maybe its my own perception that is skewed

I don't think it is, at the start there were pro Israel points pushed by the media, but all I've seen from mainstream news since about it has been highlighting the atrocities commited by the IDF. Among my workplace, a massive wealthy organization, I have seen numerous pro-Palestinian statements and art, and nothing explicitly supportive of Israel.

Compare this to the Ukraine war, supporting Russia or even being neutral on the topic is highly controversial among circles I've interacted with since the Russian offensive. It is really only among the most potent left spaces, like hexbear, that I see really any doubt about the holy righteousness of Ukraine.
