>>>Sudan sounds like a civil war between to factions WITHOUT U.S. support.<<<
For the most part it is, but not in Syria and Yemen, those are US backed wars that are causing what the left considers to be "genocide" and displacement like in Gaza. Where is the outcry, exactly? I mean, other than a few protests we've seen in foreign nations, I see nothing.
Again, we don't hear much about the conflicts going on in other parts of the world which are in no short supply, but we know why Gaza is getting so much attention. Ummm.. yeah, Jews... umm, yep. Here are 10 other conflicts that are going on and/or could become pretty hot this year and with some backing of the US...
https://www.crisisgroup.org/global/10-conflicts-watch-2023
What's happening in Israel is just antisemitism. No one is "really" this angry over this conflict, which has been going on for more than 80 years. This is just Jew hatred and college campus brainwashing and nothing more. Protestors don't even know what they're protesting. There is no free speech in Gaza, there is no women's rights in Gaza, there are gay rights in Gaza, there are no political parties in Gaza other than one, Hamas, they don't welcome thoughts and opinions that vary in Gaza.
I know, I know, you're going to come back and say "but Israel" and leave it at that. It's time to set aside what "Isreal" does and realize Hamas is in no position to dictate what happens in that part of the world. Israel controls that land and that's all there is to it. They fought in 5 major wars to gain that land. It's over, it's time for permanent peace.

Nope. You're missing the real reason why everyone has RECENTLY become upset about the Palestinian ethnic cleansing and genocide. Recently is the key!
Anti-Semitism and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians have existed for generations. Why are people demonstrating NOW?
The same reason which created the massive global George Floyd "Black Lives Matter" movement. Remember police brutality and murder of black men have existed for generations. Why did Floyd's murder set-off a global movement?
The answer:
video coverage
Video of Floyd being killed. Videos of Palestinian suffering. Sudan and Yemen don't have daily video showing suffering, therefore out of sight = out of mind.
Israeli government was expecting to ethnic cleanse and commit genocide without the world caring. Those videos documenting Israeli atrocities and the ongoing social media have placed a huge spotlight on them.
After the Vietnam War, it became U.S. policy to NOT televise its wars because the nightly video coverage helped to create a huge anti-war movement in the U.S.. Israel has the same policy which is not working right now.
Palestinians are winning the PR war.
"It's over, it's time for permanent peace."
No justice. No peace.
Israel's idea of peace is to continue to oppress Palestinians and steal increasingly more land while the world and Palestinian people don't object. Palestinians aren't going to allow anyone to shat on them and not complain and fight back.
There was a great scene in the series, "Man in the High Castle". Basically, the Allies have lost WW2. Nazis control the Eastern U.S. while the Japanese control the Western U.S.. Jews are killed, blacks enslaved, whites are second-class citizens in the west.
spoilers:
Western Black resistance fighters just blew-up major L.A. infrastructure hurting Japanese economics and control. Japanese general asks a white sycophant to explain black behavior. He explains that black people have been oppressed for centuries. And they always fought back against slavery, Jim Crow, etc. The Japanese are only the latest oppressor. Black people will NEVER stop fighting. Upon hearing this, the Japanese left the U.S.. Palestinians are like black people.

The Arab world has been upset over Israel ever since it was established 75 years ago. Iran has has been upset over Israel ever since the Islamists took over in 1979. Video coverage of Israel hasn't changed anything in the Muslim world. If it became American policy after the Vietnam war to not televise its wars then how the hell do you explain the fact that the Gulf War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War were all televised?
It's time for real peace. The Muslim world's idea of peace is brutal Islamosupremacy throughout every inch of the Mideast. All the Israelis want is religious equality. The status quo in the Muslim world means that religious equality will absolutely suck for Muslims. The Israelis aren't going to allow anyone to crap on them and not complain and fight back.

We're talking GLOBALLY.
" Gulf War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War "
Sanitized dribble. I grew up watching the evening Vietnam coverage which was traumatizing. Also, Vietnam had a draft instead of volunteer army.
2-state solution. Israel is on borrowed time since the U.S. won't be a world empire forever. When China rules, they will force Israel to share the land or give it all back to Palestinians.

I'm well aware that Muslims are protesting against Israel globally. Muslims have been upset with Israel ever since it was established. You said that after the Vietnam War "it became U.S. policy to not televise its wars". You didn't say that it became U.S. policy to televise "sanitized dribble" from its wars. Your claim that TV coverage of recent wars is "sanitized dribble" compared to the Vietnam War is just your own subjective opinion and even if that were true I fail to see what U.S. "policy" would have to do with it. The U.S. Government didn't control the TV broadcasts of private news media from those wars. And a military draft is a very different thing from TV coverage.
You don't know that Israel necessarily needs U.S. support to survive and you have no reason to believe that if and when China "rules the world" that it would force Israel to do anything. Why the hell would China care about what happens in Israel?

You know you're on the wrong side of history when you repeatedly defend the slaughter of children.
Subject is GLOBAL protests.
U.S. Government controls access for war reporters to be implanted with military units. After Vietnam, access was severely limited. You have zero knowledge about the subject. Go away!

You're the one that's totally okay with the slaughter of children in Germany and Japan during World War II. If I'm on the wrong side of history then you're right there with me! If you're right about the war in Gaza then why do you have to exaggerate and lie about what Israel is doing? Why do you claim there's ethnic cleansing if the Palestinians are all still in Gaza? It wasn't genocide when the North killed at least a quarter million Southern whites during the Civil War. It wasn't genocide when the Allies killed 300,000-600,000 civilians in Germany and 300,000-900,000 civilians in Japan by bombing during World War II. How is it suddenly genocide now that Israel has killed just a small fraction of that?
I'm well aware that there are global protests by Muslims. Muslims have been upset with Israel ever since it was established. Not all news media in war zones are embedded with military forces. Many reporters go around war zones on their own. The military has no control over their news coverage. You have zero knowledge about the subject. Go away!
