While what IDF soldiers are doing in Gaza right now is indeed horrible, there are atrocities on similar scales going on right now, and the world still ignores them, because they aren't bloody happening in the bloody Holy Land of the fucking Abrahamitic religions, and they don't involve any significant number of Jews. Why isn't anybody demanding to stop what's happening in Myanmar? Right, no Jews involved, and the land is of no particular importance to any Abrahamitic faith. Why isn't anyone doing anything to stop the Sudanese civil war? Same reason.
If it wasn't for those three religions that all try to claim the same little piece of land around the Jordan river as their Holy Land, nobody wouldn't even notice what's going on there. And horrible things have happened there for a very long time, it is a river oasis in a desert region, all the empires that ever existed in that region wanted that land, and it was conquered and colonised again and again and again, for thousands of years. The entire Middle East situation has been a perennial clusterfuck for ages. If it was somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa or East Asia, the Western world wouldn't even give a shit, and neither would any Arabs.

The Israeli government under Netanyahu is a bunch of gangsters and fascists and religious nutters. Hamas is a bunch of gangsters and fascists and religious nutters. The Iranian regime isn't much different, either. If only the murderers were murdering each other, but instead, they usually pick the most innocent victims they can find. Hamas killed and kidnapped a lot of harmless peaceniks at a festival, and in return, the Netanyahu regime let loose its hounds on Gaza to kill many more harmless people. While this is happening, atrocities of similar magnitude are happening elsewhere, and the world doesn't even notice.
