That's why Hasbara has gotten so retarded and Zionism has gotten such downpour of institutional support, to the point of causing domestic unrest. The principal beneficiaries of Zionism, NATO, do not have populations who are exposed to the tensions of the colonial situation, or any sort of associated material consequences. For them, it is a PR battle. And you can never outspend the liberals. For them the task is to show sufficient commitment to Zionism that there is not the slightest hint of wavering support. For everyone to know that they are free to jump head first into the big open market of supporting Israel and it will be a sound investment, with not future repercussions, no badly takes postures no matter how extreme or explicitly genocidal.
Creating a vibrant culture war battle about the issue prevents the problem of disconnect, because the Zionist sympathizers who live in the region are subject to those material pressures. You need the vast majority of Zionists, who aren't even jews, to be comfortable with the same positions as the people who need century old, colonial supremacy to make sense of daily life.
I'm sorry to say, but did you think that for example people would carry any stigma for killing in excess of 1.000.000 USAnos by deploying or supporting the neoliberal and culture war handling of the pandemic? Did you expect a lasting effect that would inform politics down the line?
So why on earth would the same methods produce different results when the matter is so much ore important to the ruling class, than a pandemic that never really threatened the reproduction of the workers and was ripe for profiteering?
