Israel is making things difficult. The number of civilians killed is 10000+, that's very uncomfortable for our governments. It's also not like our countries can just quickly say, "whoa, those are blatant war crimes you're committing with our weapons!" It's impossible to pretend that we couldn't know what the IDF would do with them based on the ongoing history of the conflict. In the end it's a situation similar to Yemen, Iran and some others feed support into one side and atrocities are committed. The west feeds weapons into the other side and atrocities are committed. At this point the only thing that makes our ethical situation tenable is if everyone would just ignore it. Hence, no protesting please, you're pointing out some deeply shameful policy, please stop.
